Forget Getaway in Stockholme, try "C'etait un Rendezvous"

Hi All,

I got a copy of C'etait un Rendezvous by Claude Lelouch on DVD today, it is incredible.

Made back in 1977, Jaques Lafitte took Claude's ferrari for a quick run thru Paris at dawn. Only 9 min, but is is absolutely flat out (close call with a bus too...)

Sure, it sounds like Getaway in Stockholme, but it is *far* more extreme.

Here a couple of reviews:

Spectacular!

I ordered my copy of rendezvour yesterday and should have it in a few days. I have a copy on video but this should be heaps better as the quality is poor. It is without question one of the best pieces of real life driving footage ever filmed. There are many rumours sorrounding it like that the driver is actually a F1 driver of the time etc. Along with the Ruf Porsche circulating around Nurburgringn and Arri going up pickes Peak, it is my favourite footage of all time.

Hurry up mail man,

Mick.

Mostly because of those crappy 70's crossply tyres he's got :(

Claude leLouch drove the Ferrari, he admitted so a coupla years back. get the DVD as there's some really cool extras on it...

For my money, it ranks alongside:

Climb Dance (Ari Vatenan in Peugeot 405 T16 vs Pikes Peak)

In-car 956 (Derek Bell in LeMans winning Porsche 956 round the old Nurburgring, LeMans, Kyalami, and more)

RUF CTR Porsche on Nurburgring

sonic, I've been meaning to watch both of those vids, haven't come across them yet....

Yeah, the grip from they tyres sucked....but the real *crazy* thing is how he goes flat thru so many blind intersections - the driver seriously had a death wish...I don't mind driving fast, but only where I can see what everyone else is up to...

I dont know where you can get these patches of footage from now days. I have never seen them on DVD and we had them cause of links with motorsport people and running the advanced driver training.

If you can't find them then let me know and I can do a copy of it for you if you get me a video tape. The quality can be a little rough now days but still worth it and I will need a few weeks to do it time wise.

Another piece I have which I love in I have the in car footage of Senna doing the fastest Lap around Adelaide. Just lets me remember his greatness esp when the cars were so hard to drive back then. Really nice piece of footage.

Mick.

ImPrOvIsE, I ripped the file from the DVD and it was 70mb, but I suspect you found a rip for a poor quality vhs copy, the DVD is excellent.

Don't have room to host it though...

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
