Not sure if it has been mentioned already but it would be good if their was some kind of indication on the car if the actual owner of the car is driving, maybe some kind of colour sticker system on the windscreen.

The MX5 could be. You have read the posts.

Open cars will be doing around the 12's, clubsprint cars around the 18's I guess.

Interesting idea about the stickers, but may I ask why??

I think JP is thinking with his head and not his heart. Of course he wants to drive himself, but he wants the best for his business. Gives him more time to walk around the pits and answer questions about his toy.

I fail to see what you driving his car would do for his business....you could bolt pram wheels on a turd and make it go fast. I think he could do more for his business as a whole by keeping it 'in house' and driving it himself.

LOL that is your thoughts, not ours.

Imagine if every car owner in motorsport actually drove there own cars......from drags to F1. Could be interesting LOL

Not a red MX5 with vodafone over it by any chance?

And WTF is with the Landcruiser in clubsprint class???

+1

lol Paul its big of you to give John grief for not driving when you're putting Luke Searle behind the wheel.

Doesn't look like many people are brave enough to drive their own cars. Gary is. Steve is. Kev Whitehead is. Mark and Russ is (are?). thats the only ones I know who are.

Is your other car coming to play? (the yellow one)

the bloke has proven he is nothing more than a gum flapper, circuit racing is his supposed genre in the motorsport world but has now shown his true colours.

:):(:)

No, no, no ,no. Before all this Time Attack big city lights stuff, John has been running track days through his business since i think 2000, possibly earlier, My first few track days were UAS days and i suspect the choice to run these days were not always fiscally smart ;)

So he has given many customers and Sydney guys friendly and open doors to getting into track days. Now he doesnt need me defending him, but i suspect handing over the keys will be hard for the old bloke. But he is running a business, and if a driver can get him a few spots up the board then its all exposure and results for the car that he has been playing with for years, and his business then its a smart decision.

That all said i cant believe that UAS cannot get its hands on another car for John to compete in? Hell, maybe i need to give John the keys to my car...just so he can marvel at RB20 POWAH!!!!

my good I love this thread. if it were alive I'd hug it. so much agro, so very feisty. gfight.gif

John will not need to bring his own loo paper to the event....plenty on here willing to lick his arse.

;);):P

footage of john getting out of the car at wakefield looking like he'd singlehandedly driven the Spa 24hr, getting his pit bummy boys to fan him down was some of the most amusing stuff ive ever seen.

this thread was getting rather dull so close to the event...i think it needed a kick in the pants with a bit of "smack talk"

Ok, nothing wrong with an opinion. But it has nothing to do with wanting to be his lap boy. It has to do with respect.

errr, i will leave it there.

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
