Yesterday at Wakefield, wasn't enough time to bite the nails but it was "heart in your throat" to watch!

I did a couple of 'loop de loos' of my own on the wet track in the morning... it's okay, I kept her on the track, she's still bootiful (car that is, I'm well past that :) )

damn that spin was a little to close for comfort... Did Liz only dump her coolant a few minutes before or something because they are normally pretty good at pulling warning everyone/cleaning it up when that happens.

also flash mobs always provide for funny moments :)

From what I could see, Liz realised she was dumping something (coolant) and deliberately went off the track moments before (and returned to pit off the track safely) the following three cars behind Liz lost control at the same point (due to coolant) and narrowly missed each other... although you don't see the third car, you can hear the screeching in the video clip. Brendan was very much a sitting duck in the line of fire... he was very very lucky.

There was only one flag point and that was the start/finish line - they stopped all cars and spread the cement dust out. I went out moments after and it was fine again, so that cement dust works wonders.

*I call it cement dust, it may be something else.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
