Yeah dude, Reece! That's Kara's bf haha how do you know Kara? I met her via Hayley (Robbie's gf... he has a white S13 with a Nismo sticker along the rear windshield)

Oh hang on... now I remember Kara talking about you!! Reece got shitty because apparently Kara wanted to go to Autobahn all the time to talk to you or something? haha... yeah that 180 is a thrash car now. me and him go sliding in it all the time around the backstreets of Hallett Cove. He's got a leaking strut + stuffed gearbox + really, really poor engine rebuild.

Fun car to thrash around in, though.

haha oh really i didnt know that!! we used to date in school many moons ago.iv known her and hayley for years and years. yea when i first saw his car..or more herd it it was blantently obveious there was something majorly wrong with it lol. lol how many other people do we know lol?

were did u get it??

Autobarn when I worked there. They f**ked up the order heaps and messed me around for months (they don't just do that to customers, employees too :P) so I got it for a rediculous price :P

Was a pain in the arse to fit, but then again JZX100s have bugger all room behind the bar.

    • Hi all,   I have bought a JDM R35 at auction in Japan.  This is my second JDM GTR after owning one back in 2009.  I have made a couple of videos that may interest some forum members.  One is collecting the GTR from the compliance shop (and seeing it for the first time) and another on the process of buying and importing a car from Japan.  I'm new to this and would appreciate your thoughts, as well as a subscribe!    
    • Sorry, AFM.    Will edit original post
    • Oh, yeah, no arguing that the duty cycle is different. And a circuit car will go to those speeds for more distance and longer times. But, I suspect that if a tailshaft has a harmonic problem, that it would cause damage and shit itself maybe even on the first pass. A second or two of running at the resonant/harmonic problem speed is already a couple hundred revolutions.
    • Shaft speed would be the same, however it's how long they hold it there for and repeated conditions. FWIW half way down the main straight at SMSP I'm bouncing off 4th with a 8600RPM limiter. That shaft would be spinning at 8600RPM for a few seconds before I need to smash the brakes, by T2 it's getting close to that speed again. Now a drag car/roll race car would see that shaft speed for a 1 to 2 secs then they would coast, hit the brakes and that's it.
    • With same diff ratio, tyre diameter and road speed, the tailshaft rpm is the same regardless of the gearbag's ratio. Given that very quick drag cars are probably doing similar road speeds to the fastest circuit cars (circa 300 km/h), and there will be many of either category that can't go that fast and so you'd have inummerable matchups between drag and circuit car speeds at smaller numbers, and given that they are probably using rather similar tyre diameters and probably using similar diff ratios, and...where any of those numbers were different they could quite easily be in opposite directions thus cancelling out.... I think you'd find that there'd be more similarity than difference in tailshaft speed between these two use cases, no?
