OK enough of that. Any more carry on will receive a warning.

Mark, sorry to see what happened, would have been great to see 2 leading skylines runs together. But as they say, "that's racing"..... I guess new shell will be easier than fixing since it is all triple skin back there, and shells are cheap.

x100, sorry to see. I saw the car running on saturday when I was down toward the end, and my oh my, she looked the goods ;)

I guess you an at least be thankful you managed to keep the front end off the wall, would have been a total disaster if she copped that hit in the nose!

thanks for the support guys...we have looked at the data and the front wheels were off the ground in first and 2nd gear hence the sharp turn to the left when the tyre landed...4wd is a nightmare...

car will be fixed in 2 to 3 weeks.. rear damadge is easy to fix...if it would have hit the front the car would have been a complete mess..right off..

our next event is on the 18th of sept at willowbank pro street shootout...we will be back ..

with all the data from the weekend we are very happy...except for the crash..ha ha

cheers, mark

Mark - great to hear your ok and the car isnt damaged to badly. It looked rather nasty, and sounded that way as well, but as you say rear damage is an easy repair in the right hands

I guess i may be sarting a rumor but i am sure i over heard one of the HTL team talking about leaving the car here and testing in Sydney.... would be awesome to see these 2 cars go head to head at some point in time soon :thumbsup:

Yeah its definitely staying, its over there to set the world record lower - that hasn't happened yet ;)

Also I believe they want to throw some street tyres on for lols and see if they can "adjust" that record as well while they have far stickier tracks to play with.

just got the log out of the car now...wheelspin and over rpm in 1st gear were the cause ...2nd gear went straight to 10500rpm on the shift... the axles are fine...

which basically means no slip in the clutch at all ..which softens the way the car gets down the track...

1.6 g impact into the wall at 50mph...oops..

car is being fixed this weekend should be finished next friday....

keep you guys posted...

Cool!

If there's any chance of advance notice of when it's going to be running some of us SAU guys could come up and watch :P

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
