You gotta be shitting me, who the f**k is that cheap?

Was it an R31 enthusiast? Must get old when every accessory is worth more than the shell it's being fixed to I guess.

prob the same people buying fake harnesses....

 

cos you know it's only your life on the line.

Great day fellas - well run and plenty of track time, even with the little delay...  hats off to all the organisers and volunteer flaggies.

Also - WD to all competitors - last year's quickest times;

That 1:04 was set on slicks too by the way.....

To this years times, we even had a 1:04 in street tyres.   Everyone went way quicker in reasonably similar conditions i would have thought - tyres may have played a part in a couple of those :cool:

Lastly, O RLY? :banana:

Cheers, helps contextualize the times. My eyebrows were raised looking at the times if a AD08R was considered 'semi slick' which sometimes it does get categorized as!

Yeah plenty of retards call them along with, Achillies 123s, westlakes etc semi's which they are not.

 

Fast times on both tyres that's for sure.

basiclly I think the cut off is a 180 and up wear rating is street, below 180 is semi. 

 

that said when that was deemed the cut off for a bunch of classes in USA, a few manufactuers re classified their tires from 120-140 to a new 180....

we are looking at you Yokohama and Hankook.....so as per usual it is not cheating till your caught

It felt faster than that I swear! emoji29.png lol definitely need semi slicks next time the factory tyres were hopeless through the bends. Great day though!

It's not about how fast you go but how much fun you have. Great to see you enjoying such a brilliant car at the track rather than sitting in the car park like most owners!

For sure! It's definitely going to take a few track days to get the hang of her. Such a different beast than on the streets. Had an absolute blast though! [emoji3]

Thanks again for everyone for attending.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
