Nice footage and good time on street tyres there Richard. What camera are you running and also what street tyres exactly.

Did well to keep so close to Franz also on street tyres.. well done.

Hey - didn't keep it flat through the esses though?? ;)

nah no yellow sticker :thumbsup:

sorry about the shit sound on the footage ( Go-Pro Hero ) I found what was rattling ..

as for not flat through the esses Matt, it all depends on the exit on corner 1, and on the street tyres ( Michelin Pilot Sport ) its pretty skatey with the change of direction and the dip , I'm reasonably happy with the time and to be that close to Franz :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, due to boost leaks and who knows what, I was noticably down on power, instead of the usual 1.8 bar I was only seeing 1.4, both days >_< more lag out of the corners, so that combination didn't help.

haha! I was only having a dig about not holding it flat on the esses mate.. ;) with street tyres and circa 600hp (I'm guessing on 1.4bar) I doubt I'd be holding it flat through there!

Sorry I didn't make it up for a look and to say g'day.

Brakes still all good though obviously??

I'll hand my keys to someone if they promise to hold my car flat through the esses :thumbsup:

I'm not paying for the funeral costs though :nyaanyaa:

yeah not a chance in RWD :no:

Its funny I thought did hold it flat, but I've just watched a few other vids from the event and no, maybe on semi's but not streets...

hey Simon the stocky performed well again, good work :thumbsup:

mmm... not sure I am allowed to say... "..what happens in Vegas......."

I can tell you I drove a Lambo Murcielago for 5 laps at a track though! :)

Hoping to get to the McRae Twilight Sprint (or, as we like to call it - the rim killer track) on Dec 6th.

Aye, look at you guys living the Veva Loca .:worship: was it faster than the Silver Bullet ?? I'm sure theres a couple of strip club stories that don't implicate you :iluvff::3some:

did you come home with a bag full of goodies for the car ??

My bro just back from driving a 458 through Switzerland and France for 10 days, was blown away by the car as you'd expect.. Gotta get me some Supercar action :dry:

In the mean time I gotta get exhaust manifold and turbo off and sort boost issues, will try and make that round, really like those courses, averaged about 5 seconds better than Gav in the last one we did :P but I think about 10 seconds behind Franz :huh: so different to the track

yeah, boy the course claimed some rims that night :woot:

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
