If it was the first time then that was because the plugs fowled from sitting round at idle so long in line,getting it ready at home etc.I was towed that time. I never forgot antilag, hence the 'black smoke' which is unburnt fuel. I have a a very similar video no doubt, so would a lot of ppl. Seems you have a poor sense of humour if it's the funniest thing you've ever seen, most ppl on here would be curious as to why it happened and then help fix it, you seem to be getting kicks out of trying to embarrass someone. Embarrassing it was, but I'm not embarrassed by it, it's all a learning curve

and still, absolutely nothing to do with running in an engine

Dont worry mate help was offered at the time it just seemed everyone was to busy rubbing into everyone that the car was a rh9 car, ask anyone id be the first person to offer help when it came to fixing someones car but when ppl stand around a being rude and arrogant it gives them a bad name...

Couldn't of been me then, I've never talked the car up. Everyone knows what it has done. I've always said it wasnt me driving and I don't know how to drive it. Youre not the first person who said they came in, personally I had no time for anyone combining wanting to be on track,fixing it and being frustrated with it.

I can only speak for myself, anyone else's actions are their own. It's usually the ppl that think they know me that talk up the car etc. Not my direct friends

From memory it was the guy on the laptop with you after you got back to the pits but all good either way...

Probably was me or my brother then. But we aren't what you described at all, the garage was a workshop, stress levels high. No doubt if I wasn't busy and someone had taken the time to introduce themselves I would of definitely had the time to talk. My brother is hard to talk at the best of times, let alone when stressed with 'people in his space'. If the car was running smoothly, would of had many convos on the day no doubt!so not really a good environment to be publicly judging someone on..

what the estimated start time pete, i have to work sat night, but miiight come down....

Start time is very different for each person, we had a lot of people turning up ~11am etc, you can turn up whenever you want but you'll just miss a few laps.. There's no competition or queuing or anything like that, so just turn up and have a bash around the track. It's kind of up to you whether you'll have enough time on track to justify the entry fee :)

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
