Mark And Duncans R32 Build

[Angus Smart]

How many times did it roll? i would have shat my pants every time i was upside down!

[haw001]

About 6 or 7 we've been told. Bit hard to count. You wouldn't have time to shit yourself, happens too fast.

There are plenty of photos up around here somewhere, have a look for targa 2006

[JAS-25T]

07

[haw001]

Yeah sorry, 07

[zebra]

Theres a photo of that car up on the wall of Hillsmotorsport too.You guys look rather pleased with the mess you made of the car lol

[DRD-00F]

Didn't you manage to shut the car off mid roll to stop oil starvation?

That's what I heard.

also that you turn water into wine as a party trick

[haw001]

All it takes is a bit of practice, and I've had too much practice :laughing-smiley-014:

I think I did it about roll 2, so it should be fine. Was the last time I did it, and that one ended up on the roof as well.

[N1GTR]

Dont like staying on 4 wheels much do you?

Our first outting with the Dry sump was today. Oran park south circuit

Absolute success. Few minor dramas like the just jap silicon piping spliting and restricting it to 8psi, and rear brake issues but other wise it managed a 50.2 with stuff all power (sub 250Kw id assume)

Time to pull it all apart and switch shells now!

i was at OP on Sat arvo/night, went and watched Niel in the Radicall, looked like heaps of fun. Also met Duncan so good to be able to put faces to names. Was surprised at the mix of cars that were there. Street cars to race cars. NO SKYLINES. was a RB powered silvia that was quick. Did you go on Sunday?

yeah good to meet you too Stuart. now get your car finished and out there so there is at least 1 skyline around

we got the rear cradle back from John on the weekend, we now have a very adjustable rear end. still need to fit the hicas replacement arms to it then it is ready to go in with all the colourful chinese bits bolted on. Glad we bought most of the bits before the $AUD crashed.

but it was too bloody hot to do much on sunday.

Brad you better get a wriggle on, Neil dragged his radical around there in 48.18 on saturday

[Beer Baron]

nice cradle. far better than the one I had as a kid.

[haw001]

Duncan,

I think I'll clean up the original crush tubes and weld them to the top and bottom plates that I was going to make up to replace the cradle bushes. This will eliminate the need to add a bush to the bottom when bolting it in and make sure that the holes are exactly the right size.

Only problem is that I'm going to have to root around in the bin to find them. Sometimes I get the good ideas way too late.

[Duncan]

well the good news is I never got around to putting them in the bin, they were sitting next to it cooling down after their roasting.....

I too was surprised at the mix of cars but yes it was a very hot day. Their was a nice clean red r32 gtr there in the arvo when I was out watching Neil but I did't get any laptimes from it.

[tacker]

We have the new LMR8 radical running around over here and this bloody thing is lapping better times than the GP2 boys did. Unbelieveably quick!

[haw001]

You didn't, but I did. Thank god the kids aren't in nappies any more.

Oh I know that silvia all too well.

I have to see it pretty every day at work.

Ha ha your a funny guy mark,,,I'll bet you don't chew your fingernails anymore either.

Young Brad,,,Duncan's correct,,,but a wriggle on won't cut it. I consider my 48.18 as slow,,,i'm really chasing a 46.

Neil.

[Risking]

Time will tell just how quick it'll go Neil.
