agreed. I reckon loftus in his starlet would be pretty hard to beat in the FWD class or 2L class. coming down the straight it sounds like it's about to suck you into it... definitely gee him up for it dave.

Get to see Lofty this weekend at the state champs in the starlet... :laugh:

Would be great to see that car run at Superlap! :down: So cute :laugh: haha

Thanks zebra.

BTW Noddy not so funny did you see Mythbusters and dimples with aero.

Might throw some dents in THe SLot Car. No I don't need any help with this fatz.

Should have just brought the car to Melbourne for the weekend, you'd have hundreds of speed dimples!

Stuart: That is a really nice offer mate, hopefully they won't be needed :D

How bad is the scratch on the Octane R32 from testing at Eastern Creek last week?

Must of been one hell of a ride!!

Hi Bozman1,

Here are a couple of photos of turn one just after Russ's "moment" ...

large1773.jpg

large1772.jpg

There was a brake issue but Russ managed to slow the car with the handbrake heading into turn one - pretty amazing bit of driving really. It just touched the wall on the inside of turn one. It did look like a pretty wild ride though.

We were out there last Wednesday with Mark Berry doing some aero testing on the R34 ... the R34 is now running one of our Aeromotions Dynamic Wings ...

There is a video here of the R34 on the test day at Eastern Creek shot by Andrew Hawkins from Motive DVD with some in car footage of the R34 ...

There is an article here with photos from the test ...

hey john

yeah mate , i had skid marks as long as the ones in the photos! lol

i dont want that to ever happen again , took me really by surprise, brakes had been perfect all day.

i was probably doing about 265-270 when i rolled off the throttle and went for the brake and it went to the firewall! twice , then i went for the handbrake

the car is okay , mark reckons it will buff right out! haha... should be right in a few weeks, pulled engine and gearbox out it, while we were at to make way for the new holinger :blush:

seeya soon

russ

p.s oh my god the r34 is handling like shit!! video shows just how bad. the 4wd is STILL an issue and now it has quite a bit more power so it just makes it harder to handle. i hope it is sorted soon

I saw the marks on the track (not your undies) a couple of days after you were at the creek and thought wtf!? haha

I was suppose to be there on the same day but had a date clash.

It is a reality check and makes you realise how quick you are travelling at around the creek. Well done on the save....could have been much much worse :)

Watched the vids of the R34...looks like it is full time RWD :huh:

yeah thanks john, it sure was a moment i wont forget

the r34 doesnt look real nice at the moment, but some headway has been made this week

the worst thing about the video is, there is a 50 mm pressure gauge for the 4wd pressures right in front of the gearstick , great when your looking from the drivers seat

but shithouse when your trying to look on the video!! hahaha

Benny, I think they are planning on only having 12 cars on the track in each Open sesion (which will probably be the biggest groups)...or around that figure. As long as people watch there mirrors and car's are of similar speed, I cannot see why you would not have a clear track for the whole session, as it is nearly 4kms in length.

Pro class will be even less traffic :bunny:

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
