Great vid!

It was interesting to see his hand positioning around the steering wheel, especially when he needed to change gears mid corner.

Would love a translation of when he passed the R8 with its hazard lights on. Probably started with "get off the racing line you ..."

he was just driving with one eye in the rear view mirror!

I got that too. He made a fairly good getaway down the straight only to almost run off the road at the end

because he wasn't paying attention to what's in front. Apparently one of the GT-R punters comments that "he's going

to kill himself".

He's also using some fairly defensive lines and running wide on the exit.

I get the feeling that there has been some fairly intense rivalry between these two drivers.

Wow, magnificent video! It's obvious that Italians like the GT-R too! (bit of a suprise there)....and it's obvious there is some rivalry with the F430 Scuderia guy too!. Videos like this really put into perspective just how incredible the GT-R is, not only does the F430 Scuderia weigh alot less, it's a track special with Carbon Ceramic brakes...and it was under brakes the Gt-R was closing in!.

Both cars are awsome though, I'd love to have both!.. There will be times you want the GT-R's crushing ability, there will be times you want the Ferrari's glamour and engine/exhaust note!

I picked up some but sounded like "why doesn't this idiot get out of the way"

Kujotk, being of Italian background, I can translate for you.

When he went past the guy in the Audi R8 he literally said "have a look at this!"..obviously said in such a way that suggests "have a look at this idiot"

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
