Can someone draw the driver a diagram so he can figure out what an apex is? It seems like its an accident when he clips an apex, rather than when he misses one.

Can we confirm if its an R8? Audi races them at Le Mans, and a hillclimb seems a bit tight for a car designed to do over 370km/hr down the Mulsanne Straight. And it doesn't sound like a 3.6L twin turo V8.

It looks more like a Westfield / Radical car to me...and if it had a worked bike engine then it would swallow gears like that.

Don't know about all the spectators standing pretty well on the road though as he comes blasting through... couldn't think of anything more dangerous

How about Rally, where the spectators / photographers stand on the course, jumping out of the way only when the car approaches?

dont be too hard on the poor guy scathing! I would say he's not a pro driver, more just an owner/driver enthusiast. He does move his hand around the wheel alot which suggests to me that he hasn't had a lot of experience in prototypes or open wheelers. I didn't think he was doing too badly overall. yes he is pretty wide a lot of the time but that may be for safety as much as anything and it may be the quickest way through the course in a car like that. it certainly is an awesome hill climb course that's for sure.

Hey, if it was me in that thing you could probably drive another open wheeler between me and the apexes :wub:

I probably wouldn't be posting it all over the Internet though. :D

But that hillclimb looks a lot more fun than Huntley, which is the only hillclimb I've ever done. I'd love a crack in it in my car.

You would use a totally different line when raciong down a open road by yourself, compared to racing on a track with a need to defend a racing line.

His Class time on the day would decide if his good or not.

And the biggest difference between a hillclimb and a circuit is how many laps you get to do in a row :angry: this run is pretty long/lots of corners it would take a while to learn perfectly.

But after doing a few hundred laps of a track you could do it inch perfect in your sleep

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
