on that note I'm thinking about going to Suzuka this year.

Anyone been there?

Me and a mate are down for Japanese GP this year. Can only really afford 14 days so gives me about 10 days plus the GP to see Japan and perhaps buy a bucket o shit R31 for some track work at either Suzuka, Fuji or some other track

cool i'll see how i go, i'm still in the maybe stage because of school which finishes for me two weeks before the race and i'd kinda like to get started on the job hunting which doesn't look very promising at this stage. :unsure:

Can only afford 2 weeks, a GP, a car and a track day?

Poor Bris :(

...its all about priorities. I own nothing but two cars...and am single. Its pretty easy to spend your money on holidays when you don't have a Mrs busting your balls about sensible things like saving for a house....wedding rings...kids etc Not having a mortgage and having cheap monthly rent means this 36yr old is trying to live the life I wanted when 21 :)

Not bad a trip for me down to Melbourne.

Fangio stand was as expected. But its Australia, you aren't going to see much anyways.

Might make next year the last Aus one I go to just cause of the new stuff.

An offer to go to Singapore in september is very tempting at the moment! Just for the 3 days. In and out.

KIMI FTW! Wore my "I know what i'm doing" shirt with pride!

i want one of those shirts so bad..

With the Korean and Japanese Grand Prix being run on consecutive weekends and Korean being first you could fly into Tokyo get a flight to Korea for under $100 do the KGP for the weekend , fly back to Japan ,sight see , party ,buy shit box and do the Japan Grand Prix all in just over 1 week.

Warning, Japanese GP is as boring as shit when it comes to atmosphere. I can hook you up with a Japanese mate's club in Roppongi where lots of the GP drivers go after race night but be warned, if your a naughty boy there there's a good chance you'll end up as sashimi, behave and you'll have a wow of a time as it gets packed with foreign and Japanese models.

LOL SASHIMI.

I bought the "I know what I am doing shirt" and the "Yes, yes, yes..." shirts. I grabbed a few for friends that I knew woudl like them and one was wearing his on teh weekend and he tells me lots of people were asking about them :)

LOL, I got massively err, drunk in Paris two weeks ago and lost my Kimi beanie in a pub...annoyed ! :)

If I could afford a hat, Id take it off to you.

Webber will bag a pole and win this weekend. He is long overdue for a win in Malaysia where he has always had pace equal to or better than Seb. Either way its his last Malaysian GP in an Red Bull so he better pull out all stops here and Japan.

you're setting yourself up for dissapointment!

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
