Hello everyone,

My name is Alex, nearly 30 years old, and I come from Luxembourg.
I am currently getting my R33 registered - it's a GTS-T with a bunch of nice mods, aftermarket turbo and so on :

... but I'll present it in the Builds section ;)

I have a passion for Japanese GT cars that started in my childhood - I'm also the owner of a full stock twin turbo MKIV Supra for more than 7 years now :

My secret dream is to become a famous singer, and stop getting headaches working in computing to afford running my cars haha

I hope I'll spend good times here and have fun chatting with passionate dudes from the opposite side of the world (don't blame me if that isn't 100% accurate, I've always been lame in geography lol)

Have a nice evening everyone !
Cheers, Alex

Hi mate, thanks a lot ! But how did you point out that vacuum thing only looking at this pic ?

No actually not any issue to get RHD cars registered, mods and performance parts are more of an issue than RHD here ! Loads of parts can be registered with no issue in Luxembourg, you can have a 100% road legal racecar but you have to pay a lot for that (each performance part needs to have a certificate that's not cheap, I believe about 300€ per part). 
And you have to stick with strange rules... For example, some parts are not able to be registered (Enkei, Volk, all these cool wheel brands), while others like Japan Racing are OK... That's kinda weird when you look at the overall quality, but JR delivers certificates with wheels that allow us to register them, while other brands don't provide these documents.

I had 2 metal bands in the past, now I'm working on a solo project. I started posting some pop & rock covers on YT that did pretty well, and now I'm currently writing an album that'll be more actual, hope it'll be the beginning of something new for me :)
Here's one of my best covers, I mean it didn't buzz all around the world but I've been surprised and quite happy to see how many people watched and shared it - https://youtu.be/-MuXwDSa8wE
And that's from my previous metal band haha - www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oD4ndfnN5I
I don't wanna be spammy so maybe we can chat a little bit via DM mate :) generally it's not really appreciated to throw links on forums like this so I'm not gonna mess around lol

Wish you a nice day bud

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
