The only thing better than having your own supercar manufacturer is having a private racetrack to drive them on. :D

WERD !!!

I've always had this dream of owning an international airport as a race track !! The real challange would be dodging the mobile aircraft on the runways and taxiways during the race :dry:

Personally, I wouldn't use an airfield, though. Runways are inherently flat, and that's boring. I've got this dream of building a Nurburgring Nordschleife-like "proving ground" track.

Every type of corner imaginable (increasing radius, decreasing radius, varying camber, double and triple apex, etc), with surface changes and massive gradient changes.

My plan would be to build it in a strip mine, so after a 3 km long main straight (which would let any car V-Max given the open, decreasing radius turn that feeds onto it and the fact that it runs downhill for the last few hundred metres) you'd have a speed-bowl like banked Turn 1 so you could keep the foot planted and do 400km/hr around this curve in your Veyron.

That straight would also double up as a quarter mile and standing kilometre drag strip.

If you owned it, you could set your own rules.

The GT-R has the right of way. The Airbus can give way.

Actually, there would be NO right-of-way !! Therein lies the challenge :dry:

It's like what I'd like to do with F1, throw 2 stock Hyundai Excells on the back of the grid to make the racing more interesting !!

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
