Old fart? mate I'm 41 and that in anyone's language is an old fart :)

Back on topic. I have had the pleasure of the 300kmh ride. 1000hp Supra on Calder raceway.

LOL even old Bob launched it off the line, but backed off. A great day I'll always remember ...

How long did it take to get to that speed? Was it pretty much full throttle the whole way? Any cars overtake you? :)

Well I was cruising around 200-220 most of the time unless somone was in front of me. And then it took what felt like about 2kms from there with my foot flat to the floor to get up around that speed. I reckon to get it up to its max, which is 305, you would need a fair bit of space. However 0-100 4.7 and 0-200 is 16 sec and takes around 600m at a guess, and with lanch contoll I believe its even quicker. Officially I think its 0-100 in 4.1sec with lanch controll. That was insane.

And no cars overtook us at all. THere were a quite a few that were cruising round 200, but we didnt see any super cars out that night except for going the opposite direction. There are some amazing cars on the streets of berlin though. Ferrari 599gtb, Mclaren SLR, audi R8 v10, cl63 amg, 911 turbos everywhere........to name just a few you will see down the main drag of Mitte.

      Yeah was gonna say as it wouldn't line up correctly, I imagine if they put the wheel that way it would mess with the wheel alignment.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.

      There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)

      It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
