My car is in at the panel shop getting the TWP scar removed (where the tow hook ripped through the front bar) - and yet I still have another shake down event before Targa in a couple of weeks. Part of me has always thought I am crazy doing it with still some pre-prep to go and Benny your story sure hasn't helped that feeling! LOL

Although my last remaining shake down is at Phillip Island and I always like to think that is a place where people try harder than ever to stay on the black stuff. It's not somewhere that rewards tom foolery with a laugh all that often!

Sorry to put you off you brekky Snowy :P

Been talking to Dan a bit lately, the boys pumped! Great to see! :woot:

I'd upload to incar I have of the guy who damaged my car for everyone to have a good old chuckle at, but I don't know how to shorten the clip to 10 minutes to upload it to Youtube?

And why isn't Steve Jones on here ffs? He has a GTR.... aren't we all meant to be buddies and pump eachother up a bit?

We got the rear muffler cut off yesterday to save weight (still got the middle one), and when we get the car back from the workshop i'll pulling the trim , and 4 lap sash belts out. Hoping it all should equil some kg's.

What a scary race track :( Bloody quick and you can't see any of the corners. Not much in the way of run off either. That Turn One is damn fast, taken flat in...4th??

Flat in 5th :) I'm grabbing 5th about what, 60m before the tower, and it's around 7,000rpm through the kink.... great corner :(

Are you kidding? it looks like a f**king cool track! now I know why everyone rates it!

Ahh the kink... Still have a bit of NS400R F2 seat material stuck in mt sphincter where I chased Scott Doohan for 5 laps on his 1000 yam round Lakeside years ago - Flat thru the kink in the wet.

Now why have pill shrank sooo much LOL.

Run off for cars!!! need the walls to bounce em back on the track.

Will have a look BW when I get into an Emirates longe and have some bandwidth.

See ya there

TT

At first I thought 5th as it looks f**king fast but wasn't sure. Dunno what the gears ratios on an R32 are but that must be close to 200k's? Balls of Steel. Should be an awesome car for Targa Tas.

Hmmm not sure either... speedo doesn't work. But around that I'd reckon.

Car should be ok I think, it's too stiff suspension wise, especially if it's wet, but my budget simply didn't/doesn't run to swapping it out for something more suitable atm.......

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
