haha a mate of mine used to drive a done up 4WD with a huge-ass towbar, and because he lives up the hills in QLD, there are heaps of Fagnas, Commowhores and Fulcons racing him.

So one day he got a huge ass towbar put in (and i meanthis thing can tow a road train...), and starts driving around, everytime there is one of them Takumis behind him hed slam on his break and the tow bar would shatter the racer's front guard, intercooler whatever is there...

Half a year later when i got back to QLD, there are no racers on that route anymore...

just thought id like to share that story...

now youve aired it on a public forum dammit

we coulda been known as the ghost of devils elbow. would be pretty funny if there was room to pull off n hide quickly. u just be parked at the top of the hill with ya lights on so he can see you having a drink outside the car while he drives past.

could throw a u turn n turn my lights off might work :)

that wasnt me on the youtube vid by the way, o and the magna did not overtake on the consectutive hairpins

im a lil too old for impressing kids in their mums car. would be a bit of a concern if i did i think.

i much prefer rolling with people i trust up there

or alternatively i could take out the dato next time :wub: it'll fit in more

and yeah i tried to make the pic smaller but apparently 1 pixel is a requirement of a picture file

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
