Hey mate, thanks for your feedback !

Indeed, I need to find a better way to put the camera. I don't have a lot of accessories so if I want the driving to be seen on the video I have to place it there despite the mirror... Otherwise I have the windshield view, but it's way less interesting. I'm also considering the helmet view but not sure it will be pleasant to watch (too much moves). Will try it next time !

You are also right concerning the rev range. To be honest I try not to push too hard on revs because the Skyline's still running stock ECU. I don't know if that adds any safety or not because the car still runs OK, wastegate is calibrated to open @0.5 bar and AFR is good, but I believe it might be preferable not to push too hard before I get it properly mapped.

Hahaha well I'll suggest that to him next time, thanks for your input mate xD

DTM day at the Ring yesterday :)

No videos but some quick pictures. That was a really cool day, we arrived just at the beginning of DTM championship race. Audi won it by far, then we assisted to a classics race with a lot of E30 BMW M3s that I enjoyed a lot, being also a BMW enthusiast :)

- at least get your mate to wear shorts

 

as a minimum. 

I've DM'd you Alex. Good to see you still at this. I really, really enjoy watching your videos. I already was watching people lap the ring, but it's super cool to see a 33 doing laps. :)

Thanks a lot mate - answer sent :)

Sorry for not posting some thrilling laps, I know experienced drivers will say I'm slow, and that's totally true haha

I just prefer to progress at my own pace, think about safety first and most important thing at the Ring, stay humble & keep my feet on the ground  :)

Good attitude man. Keep them coming no matter how slow! :D
People who don't subscribe to this find their car in the fence after half a lap (and I'm told that's super expensive).

Exactly mate. A lotta people focus on laptimes and tend to go beyond their limits - that's how drama actually happen. And yes it can become a financial disaster - you pay for the trailer, the track closure time, the security rail you've hit, the security rails supports that go into the ground if you hit them, damage done to the track (spills cleanup, etc), ... four digits on the bill in most cases. And all of that doesn't include damage done to your own car, other people's cars, yourself (physical & mental damage), others, etc...

    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
