Hope you have a ball mate! I was SO hoping to win that prize that ONE HD was running :)

Thanks mate, i will :mad:

I have never been OS and never been to a F1 GP, so im just about busting at the seems with excitement! I was going to go last year but couldnt get the passport ready in time.

It was hard to divert funds that usually go on the car to travel but i could go on modding the car forever so i thought it was about time

Bris, im not taking a phone over mate but i really think you should be there if you can, they rekon the atmosphere at the night race is right up there as far as F1 races go!

I really hope hamilton and webber can do well, ive been hanging to get a big mclaren jacket but i might just opt for the tshirt they all wear as the trip has cost a fair bit

I might rewatch last years race now i think :D

* Opens Arms for Alonso at the Baron's garage...

I will miss Kimi's animated articulation of the spoken word whilst having the best job in the world*.....

Clearly I have the best job in the world,

And Kimi wants to be me!

I cannot belive SPA residents are omplainin about noise, with track mangament having to issue an Environmental Imapct Assessement, obviously they just threw a was of documents at them. Problem is this has now been found to bed deficient and they have had their licence to operate pulled :)

the Kimster could well be the most boring human being to listen to in history; but the fkr can DRIVE, so it's all good

and Kimi's job is better- yours is just even more dangerous

Well, it appears to be a bit of a shame that the Germans didn't run over more of those smelly, crepé eating Belgians with their panzers in WWII... Now that they are complaining about this 'track' noise... MOTHERF*CKERS! Spa in one of the finest and most loved tracks in the world... FFS.... Of ALL the places in Benelux that a person could possibly live, they dwell in the Ardennes, NEXT to a race track... and then have the gall to complain... I think there is a major global shortage of HTFU...

Leaving for Sing in a few hours, soooo pumped! Just hope the Ferrari lads keep the fuel rigs in the garages and their cars out of the concrete barriers! :)

Sitting pretty for turn 1 again, hope the improvements to the track encourage more passing! :) I CAN'T WAIT!!!

how the fk could they let this happen. I might as well just forget about driving cars at all and start taking massive amounts of LSD and just sit in my room playing F1 on PS3. it's about as 'real' as it will get in the years to come...

I went last year..

tips for ya.

1) Heaps of money for booze/water, you'll need it... Badly.. ;)

2) Shorts and short sleeves/T-Shirts are a massive 'must have', people wearing longies and shirts are simply mad, it is sooo hot and muggy, you'll feel like jumping into the river! :yes:

3) Curash/baby powder, do not underestsimate the pain and discomfort of jock-itch/rash... Burn baby burn. Prevention is better than cure. :yes:

4) Make sure you take an anti-persperant deodorant, you'll sweat like a sow on heat.. :yes:

5) Have fun, and my teh fez win babeh! :):D

PS, I'll be signing autographs at the KFC near Sim Lim tower... lol, all the Singaporean school kids mistook me and my cuzzybro for Ferrari employees last year.. Funny as! Hahaha, Singaporeans are the coolest/funniest/sweetest people you'll meet, they're always so happy... If you've never been, I'm sure you'll love everything, bar the weather, which sux big monkey nutz..

Its not noise, its music. I was about 15kms from the track when i went, and on the Sat night of the 24hr race i say on the porch drinking dodgy beer and at 11am you could clearly hear the sweetest noise of GT2 and GT3 cars screaming, popping and farting on the downchanges...ok the farting may have been me :)

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
