Will try and post up some vids later. The "win" vid is pretty unexciting if I'm honest.

However the rest of my weekend sure was a lot more interesting in a way than my first day.

Sunday morning we had our full audit scrutiny done - of which part was to test the kill switch. What I didn't know is that a kill switch cut-off in my car sends the car into limp mode.

This was only discovered as I headed out onto the track to take my position on pole for race 2. Unfortunately it meant I had to head into the pits and had a DNS for race 2. The fix for the limp mode is a simple plug into a PC and clear the fault so I was fixed 5 mins later but it was a simple lesson learnt on my first race weekend.

Upshot of this was it meant for the final race I started from the back of the grid. Conditions on Sunday were dry so the top GT cars had more speed on me regardless but none the less I was able to make my way from 20th all the way back up to 5th by the end of the 12 lap race. In reality I probably would have ended up in 5th even if I started 5th as the top cars are a good few secs / lap quicker than me at this stage.

But it was great fun coming through the field and was a nice learning experience including some pretty fun passes such as going between 2 cars down the main straight with only a few cm's space on each side.

Was good fun and I look forwards to the next one in Oct.

Here's the race win vid. Other than trying to go from hero to zero at turn 2 and dealing with lapped traffic at the end (yep I had lapped traffic in a 4 lap race) it's not all that exciting.

Still - here it is.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
