no going to Malaysia or Singapore is cheaper than going to Melbourne. I was looking into the for the GT500 racing to see the R35 race. about $1500 for 6 days including airfares and hotels http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Su...l&hl=sepang

definately couldn't spend 6 nights in melbourne and see the gp for $1500.

depend where you stay and who you know to get tickets from.

speaking to David Richards the other day they are still not happy they are being stopped from running the ex McLaren Chassis. Williams are still the biggest campaigners against Prodrive. But i'm guessing being Berrnie which ever side has the most money will get their way

Gees if I had a dollar for everytime a GP driver used the expression "for sure" or maximum...

Problem is that for the majority of them English is not their first languge & they get tutored in what to say by the PR people. Which means you either get a Kimi (pick one) saying nothing or generic gobshite instructed by the PR people.

Oh and since when does "top 11 finish" sound better than 11th?

haha me and my mate love it when they use 'for sure'

The best was a combo by either Kimi or it might've been Massa...

"I think so for sure we will be competitive" or something along those lines....Massa uses for sure HEAPS and he speaks like 8 languages...

it amazes me that a team as small and underfunded as this turns out faster and MUCH better looking cars than most of the big spending factory backed teams *cough* honda and toyota *cough*

anyway... go nico in 08 bebe

Well atleast there is some more sponsorship stickers on it this year round. Hopefully the $'s are there to back it up. They took a bath financially a couple years ago when BMW did the dirty on them. I don't know why Toyota don't start writing some cheques for Frank. He hoses their factory team on far fewer dollars. Give him a few more & "factory" status (Like Renault used to do with Lotus) and he could get more sponsorship still.

Car looks good & the lap times are good. Drivers are quality. Everything looks to be in place for another improved year for the boys from Grove. :D

If this keeps up I may yet have to commit to some Nakajima merchandise. :thumbsup:

good stuff

so i know what the hit is going to be in 2011, roughly what has it all set you back?

1k for tickets.

1k for flights.

Staying with a mate of mine from boarding school who's family live in Singapore, his old man works on the offshore rigs so we got a roof over our heads... :thumbsup:

Plus accomodation for the GP weekend was massively overpriced... Daylight fcking robbery...

I was only talking to a friend in Singapore the other day. They all still work and live in Bugis with out Singapore office looking out over part of the track. The problem is ticket prices as could probably get work to hook me uyp with airfares if i do a 2-3 month stint over there. Plus, so many funny places to go and drink

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
