Here you go mate:

Awesome Chris! Thanks! Although the second and third vid seem like they were my first runs where I had NFI where I was going! ;o)

The first clip is the one I recorded in-car... I wonder if I can do some Initial Drift Picture-In-Picture action on that?

One i made of the Big blue taxi.

Nice work, Ron! As much fun as the Falcon was (and it sounds great, too), I'm betting Geoff wishes he'd done one of these days when he still had the V35.

The 6 speed auto still does a decent job with some help from the handbrake. Obviously a clutch would make it more enjoyable but its not a requirement.

Nothing to do with the handbrake.

The XR6T FG is a bit intrusive on take off with it's torque management software, and as such is way too slow off the mark for my liking.

The manual on the other hand has launch control.

Even with TC off? In my BF2 I've done a few texis. I turn TC off, stall it up and theres no issues lighting it up or getting away quick. Might be time for a flash tune if the factory program is stopping you having fun.

Yeah, there is lots of bull shit in the FG I've been finding.

Stalled up on the brake it's normally pretty slow till about 40KM/H then all hell breaks loose, but roll off the mark and tramp it at 10KM/H and it will near instantly fry the tyres.

They added a lot of electronic wizadry as each new version of the XR6T comes out. It also gets off the mark differently dependent on whether you're in boring auto mode, performance auto mode, manual mode, and whether DSC is on or off. 6 Different ways it decides to get off the mark makes it interesting... LOL

But in the end, there's nothing like the fun of side stepping the clutch with a heap of revs built up... LOL

I'll give texi a crack one day in it, unless the R33 is back on the road... So chances are you'll see the orange FG having a crack... LOL

For those that care, here are the times.

I did my best with the time sheets. The course name is missing for some , so if you know what it should be please let me know.

If you see a typo etc let me know.

I was going to make up some formulas to calculate best times after penalties but got bored and decided to do my job instead. whistling.gif

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
