Not sure anyone is saying the 6 speed is weaker, I get that Snowman had problems with his, and went with the 5 speed for both cost and better ratios.

Circuit racing /= Targa though so using Super Taikyu as an example is probably pointless.

Same basic spec cars, about the same power, so i thought it would be a reasonable example that there is nothing weak about the 6 spd, nor did Nissan engineer down the quality of the drivetrain or later models. With no Grp A like in teh R32 days, and JGTCC so removed from road cars, i suspect Super Taikyu had even more importance to Nissan with the R34

the gearboxes in FD RX7 are clearly far far stronger than 32, 33 or 34 GTR... one day you could all become enlightened and pass over to the dark side !!

that is because a rotor lacks the torque to brake traction let alone gears. :)

Is the Targa DVD going to have any extra content in the main doco than the TV Doco? The doco's 10 years ago were much better, I watched a couple leading up to Targa, and they were longer, and showed a bigger varity of cars. But they did come out months after the event, as opposed to weeks.

I asked to Mazda crew when I was sitting between staged if they carried spare apex seals around with them...they didn't see the humor in it. Any gearbox could last behind a rotor :)

I meant the 5 speed is a benefit not so much because it is (marginally) stronger, but when coupled to the matching R32/33 diff gears they're better imo for this type of motorsport.

Anyway, I couldn't give a shit and am ready and waiting to move on :wub:

Roy is talking about anal now, has no one noticed?

Savman, yup, Mt Stuart for the 32. I better get to prepping the poor old girl. Straight after Superlap.

I'd like to apply for a derived time for the hour of my life lost last night and I'll happily take the penalty.

Apparently the Early Modern category (of which the majority of this forum competes in and watches) wasn't good enough for a mention or a final classification on the Doco.

I know not everyone can make it on the doco, but shit to miss a whole category??

as I said before, EM seems to be the black sheep so enough with the bickering... to busy arguing to realise your all getting screwed

was the most entertaining category too... close racing, crashes, mechanical failures and a bit of controversy all thrown in the mix... more interesting than F1 anyday!

Roy that's a disturbingly perfect analogy...

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
