She'll be right, he's just a fly in fly out rock star driver now. Bins them, doesn't even have to get his hands dirty fixing them.

Good news is the old 32 is back better than ever, fresh faced, new set of legs, and ready to go! Well, nearly. :D

It's got some of my parts on it to, so some speed may rub off hopefully :) haha

weather in may is usually fantastic... chilly nights, fresh mornings, excellent comfortable temps during the day, perfect sunny afternoons and lush greenness everywhere... autumn is the best season!

I agree, it's nice. plus the lawn doesn't grow as fast :laugh:

On top of the above there's usually a light mist in the mornings around EC which more often than not will burn off before 9 but sometimes it hangs around. The cooler over night temps means the landfill doesn't stink as much as usual and the steam rising off it in the morning is just spectacular :)

Love it mate!

Did you guys end up building that 911 Project listed on another forum?

It's still in the build phunky monkey.

I'm in two minds in terms of which way to go bodywork wise on it.

The original plan was 964 RSR bodywork (which we already have). There are photos here of one of the Rauh Welt 964's ...

But I recently saw some more photos of this early car with early 1970's RSR bodywork (the black car on this page) and it's one of the best looking 911's I've ever seen ...

Our car has already had the widebody conversion done in steel, so we can fit either type of bodywork as shown above with a few tweeks to the front and rear.

We can fit an intercooler designed to fit under the bootlid / tail like the one on the Supercharged 911 ...

I love the Rauh Welt 964's but there is something incredibly cool about the idea of a full on monster with early 1970's RSR bodywork. We also want to do things like including an Aeromotions Dynamic Wing on the car, so we are doing a few renderings to see how the wing would look with early bodywork, but at the moment the early bodywork is the direction I'm leaning in.

We've been flat out with stuff for customers running in Targa Tasmania and Superlap the last few weeks, so we'll make a decision on bodywork and get back into the build after Superlap.

Unsure Fatz........ and Russell, accom isn't expensive out there? we have share accom.

I was thinking more of entry fee plus fuel, tyres, fluids, brakes etc. I think 6 x 15min sessions at superlap will give me enough of a chance to have a good crack at it. Not really worth the extra day for me.

Are you staying at the chifley as well?

I'd go the early bodywork for sure. I love 964's, but there is nothing cooler than '73/'74 RS/RSR's! Will be very interested to see how the project truns out as I'm a massive 911 fan.

Up until 2hrs ago i was officially finishing up my project on the 15th May. As I long suspected it has been extended so now know for certain that I cant even attend. Probably for the best, spectating whilst awesome would have just driven me crazy for A) not driving and B) owning a POS compromised road-track car :cool:

How are these two days going to be like, I mean how close can a spectator get to the action? Can he de around the pits or is bozman going to have a big cry about that too like he did in the first superlap?

Um please explain, as it sounds as though you are a little delirious and confused :(

Thanks for clarifying, but obviously you have little experience if you think I went off :P

You say things on a public forum, so let me just explain to people what you are trying to talk about.

What you are talking about was a track day and not Superlap.

From an instructors point of view, I hate inexperienced people taking people for for laps around a track. When a huge mistake like that is made by the driver, it could have easliy had 2 people in hospital. As I was the first person on the scene to the incident, to my amazement his whole life was still in the car ie lunch, washing, cd's, 2 people hanging upside down and whatever else. Actually the scene was spread over a 10 metre radius.

As I was not involved in organising the day and only employed as an instructor, I saw a number of things that I wanted to address considering I was being put in the passenger seat of the drivers and asked to try and help them.

If you were standing on my side of the fence, I can't see what I did as the wrong thing to do. I thought how the organisers were running the day was wrong, hence I no longer choose to instruct at there days.

So you stated I had a big cry at Superlap LOL as if. Why would I, because in 2008 I was doing big slides in Elias' S2000 and Penlingtons ZED and having the time of my life.

Back to Superlap now :)

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
