It was Jimmy Richards: "...this is unbelievable, I just cant believe the reception. I thought Australian race fans had a lot more going than this. This is a bloody disgrace. I'll keep racing but I tell you, this is going to remain with me for a long time. You're a pack of arseholes."

Skaife said something like: "...we lead the race all day, I cant believe this. Nissan, Winfield, we've won the race, and thats just how it is..."

But yeah, good times...

Give it another 14 years and you will be LOLing at the stuff we are wearing now.

Think of the poor metrosexuals!

Jim Richards called the crowd a "pack of assholes" not sure what Skaife said...

Dick Johnson got his own back when Paul Radisich won the QLD 500 while sitting in the gravel trap. Took a while though.

yeah that's it! christ 14 years ago no wonder i can't remember. very comedy stuff though.

yeah metro's will look back and wonder what the hell they were thinking. he he..

then again i could look at what i was wearing yesterday and wonder what the hell i was thinking.. he he

Excellent promo.  

Check out the "mohawk" on the pommy guy being interviewed early on.

What's the deal with calling the GTR a 2.5 litre?? lol

Scott

Schenanigans no doubt, but the rb26 is actually only 2.568 l anyway... maybe they had some advantage in the regs by losing 0.013 of a litre ;)

Wouldn't it have been great to see a le mans spec r390 doing laps of Phillip Island :)

Does pride well up in the ****les of your heart???

Jim Richards looks so young - and even then he wasn't a young man.

It's strange looked back now that we're owners of 'French' cars (!!!) and motorsport is such a small part of Nissan worldwide and especially Nissan Australia.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
