  1. Russ's car has a fair bit done to it and well sorted. Seems considerably quicker than mine .... with a quicker driver
  2. How did you find Monza? I thought the way the GP was run was hopeless. Wasnt great for spectating or easy to get around. And Milan was nowhere as much fun as say Budapest for nights out
  3. Told you Webber had in the bag. He is the bomb yoh
  4. How long you had the car for?
  5. Senna again hammered Petrov. Doesnt look right that Senna looks to be witthout a seat
  6. Its out of fluid so not leaking anymore Think its the input shaft seal. Yeh. Nit sure you get to use a lot of kerb at PI. Well at least my car didnt like it
  7. Yeh. Radiohead have some great chillout music. The new mounts arent in as the harness holes in my new Sparco seats are too low and the harness rides my shoulders too much. I may just mod my cage so harness angle and height is changed And the grip comes in part from a proper alignment and old AO50s hanging in there despite being warn. Last time I ran PI my alignment was way out due to faulty laser aligner and had poor grip. I had no idea just how bad it was until going back with the settings I thought I had. Still need another degree of camber now I have softer swaybars
  8. This is my first proper attemot at editing footage properly. Took forever but happy with it. http://m.youtube.com/?client=mv-google&rdm=4oox72m1r#/watch?v=LV-bcbzwrpg So much grip at present. Out of MG had uncanny amount of grip
  9. This is my first attempt at some clever editing http://m.youtube.com/?client=mv-google&rdm=4oox72m1r#/watch?v=LV-bcbzwrpg
  10. Is it DIY assemble or exchange?
  11. Yeh the RS500 manifold comes with ability to run 8 injectors and also runs a different elbow between plenum and throttle body. I am trying to hunt down the throttle body and elbow for mine now but cheapest I can find is $9-- Where are you sourcing gears for the oil pump?
  12. Story going around that Trulli's 2012 contract is not necessarily a race contract and with RBR giving them rear ends etc then Vergne or Disco Dan could be in the Caterham in 2012 Meanwhile Vergne saying he could do the same job as Webber. Webber 0.2sec quicker than Vettel, Vergne 0.6 seconds of Jaime ...he's dreaming
  13. That ANDROID GPS thing for my phone doesnt work because the shitty Samsun GPS doesnt pick up the signal and always drops out. Means I have to use my data logger if I want any speeds/times etc
  14. Close...I am waiting for Jenvey to give me some pricing for my YB. This is a Mountune Barrel injection setup. 4 injectors in the inlet and 4 above the trumpets for staggered firing. With the barrel throttles vs butterflies. Its about 8k of inlet
  15. Blitz shocks used to be by Sachs. Do you know if this is still the case?
  16. I will take the airbox and piping to/from the filter. PM me with your price
  17. + =
  18. This thread was more fun when people were taking the piss But being serious for a moment...I am with mlr I swap and change between what I would love to do. A friend was selling his 944 Challenge car about 3 years ago and it was a top 10 State Series car with room for improvement. I was so tempted to buy it but the fear of $$$ from actual racing and rubbing and wanting to beat others means it would have stretched my talent and worse of all possibly damaged others cars costing them $$$$. So I passed....thinking about its often cheaper to run in Group Nc and have a car that you can circuit race, tarmac rally and sprint in. Or a class like 944. It isnt always expensive. Who is going to knock you in a twin cam Mk 1 Escort or RX3 etc if you rocked up to a Supersprint. I think the issue comes when you rock with up with ex FIA/ or National level race cars that I have an issue. Not because they are quicker or wealthier or better steerers...but being just quick enough to generally get thrown in the quickest group means I have to worry about cars that are 4-8 sec a lap quicker than me and they are not always so understanding of others in traffic. So if put in a different group means that is an extra class to run for the day, being a Sprint round and running a group for race cars will most likely impact the amount of sessions I get (being a slower street car) Just some general thinking. More than going quick I really try to learn race craft and traffic management. Its part of the reason I jump at the opportunity to sit and drive with a pretty top tier race driver instructor in the UK when I can. I think I have learnt so much from him but work in progress. Understand how to let the quick cars past without ruining my lap times and manage the traffic...which if I ever race will come in handy. But in the meantime it sure helps reduce the stress on busy circuits. I have noticed many of the race guys who are quick are heavy handed at Sprint days who ignore the stewards requests "only overtake on the straights or when you have been waved through or positive they have seen you" and even though I am looking in mirrors fark me they can come from nowhere pretty quick especially when for the last 5-10 seconds you are observing a car in front looking to pass...then in an instant CLOSE CALL
  19. Real men run 7.2:1 compression and 30psi. Well at least that's how the Poms do it
  20. R32 or R33? R32 clashes on mine. Not paying 3 times what my engine is worth for a ti one either May attack my Whiteline one with a welder and see what I can butcher up Thanks people
  21. You are all wrong. Us loyal to the RB20 know that if you have problems with the RB20 in your car....and you chose to replace it with another wrecker RB20....the Nissan gods ensure that the motor you get from a wrecker for $400 is special and will outperform the original engine. Its a proven formula. You stay loyal to the RB20....then there is an engine in a wrecker waiting for a new dad and the opportunity to give its all for its faithful owner.
  22. 5'10" - 5'11" But height is a little misleading. You need to sit on a bench and get a straight rule and measure from your tailbone to shoulder and compare to Sparco size sheet
  23. E85? What boost you got up it? Is it just a matter of 9.0:1 compression with a head shave, port clean up, boost and E85?
  24. I suspect part of the make up of GTR owners vs Porsche owners is the modifying aspect. Nissans have always been one of the more tunable cars around. And the GTR enjoys the sort of aftermarket support not seen by Porsche owners. Sure there are plenty of parts adn tuners of Porkas, but 15K exhaust systems etc etc normally see most Porsches 95% std. Ditto Ferraris etc. But buy a Nissan and you can go to work on them as though a blank canvas. Still, from what I can tell the GTR needs to get back out and get a laptime at the Ring as its slower then the Viper, ZR1, LFA, GT2 etc. Price or not, if you are going to claim its faster then seems thats the yardstick these days
  25. Meh, my tips are in and Webz will win the final race of the year from Massa then Hamilton!
