Hi guys, couldn't wait to get out on the track again. GT-R is in the workshop getting an engine rebuild so I took my sisters little MR2 Spyder out for a spin at Wakefield.

I just bought a video camera and manfrotto suction mount (find them in a Ted's pro camera shop for under $200) worked a treat!

I've compressed it to keep it small (only 6mb). Hope you like it!

PS: A lot of fun. I only brake 3 times in one lap (turn 2, hairpin + last corner) and the rest is throttle control. It's very different to driving a GT-R that's for sure, more on the limit, more desperate, much harder to overtake but a lot of fun catching faster cars in the corners. Wouldn't trade my GT-R for it though but still... I was impressed with it... all stock too (sussy and tyres were stock).

Nice movie mate.... that car can stick to the road pretty well......

my wakefield experiences are always good......... brake early... good line.... apex... power out of corner... DOOOOOOOOORRRIIIFFFTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO........

i was a bit excited on my first lap ever there on the horseshoe and it was either run off the road or rev it.. dump it and drift....... gotta go again :P

shit man thats some nice driving!

are those cars turbo? actually sounds alright

what'd your sister think of her car coppin a bit of a workout? lol

and i love the laugh after you pass the 2 guys and get on the straight. lol

Haha yeah my sister was AOK about me taking her car out on the track, she wanted to come actually but didn't make it on the day and far out that liyyle laugh I do... wasn't the only one on the day that's for sure... since it was just us on the track (only about 10 of us in our group) and we all knew each other it was a lot more fun... like playing GT4!

The car is dead stock, no turbo, 1.8 and very soft and tall springs but because it's so light and has such awesome turn-in it wasn't so mich of a problem although hav ing said that... if it had coilovers and semis it would be a very very fast car around Wakefield.

I only managed 1.20 in the little MR2.

Can't wait to get the GT-R out there when it's done. I'm sure the in car camera video will be a lot more exciting! ^_^

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too.

The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
