Im a good chance. Work looks liek slowign down this week. So may be a chance to get the diff and coole rback on. Sandown and a night at the drags will be the last hoorah for the g'box. New R33 box goes in soon so will finally be able to drive the thing hard :(

Turned out to be a great afternoon at Sandown!...........JFK and Jack went at it together for several sessions of 3 really hot, nose to tail laps. The times tumbled throughout the day with JFK finishing on FTD 1:18.4, and Jack an amazing P2. 1:18.7 (PB by nearly 3 secs!!)......Was awesome to see/hear them driving the wheels off 2 very evenly matched cars.

So Jacks car lives and is quick :sick: AWESOME!

I sat at home all day typing about Purified Water Systems...i hate still studying at my age :sick:

Big congrats to JFK and Jack !!!!! Thats damn quick...LOL ill have to stick with hitching passenger laps in RPM GTRs if i ever hope to see those times :sick:

Yeah well I guess you can say I'm STOKED!!!

After last weeks misfortune I decided to not give up and have a good crack at it...

Did a 1:19.7 in the first session, was wrapped with that time and would have gone home a happy man. But as the day went on, and I got my head around some of the tricky corners, the car went faster each session...

Following JFK around the track was priceless, he is an absolute maniac behind the wheel.... He really knows how to control a car...

So to finish with a 1:18.70 has actually left me (and a few others) stunned.. Its was my third (full) track day at Sandown.....

Lastly, a big thanks must go to Benno, for getting the car all sorted during the week and giving me the chance to race today.....

Congrat on the super quick time Jack, it has always been a pleasure to see your car in action.

It was a quite day actually, good for people who wants to improve their time at Sandown. Who own that V-spec II R32gtr? Came all the way down from SA to race at Sandown.

that was a great day, only 33 cars so plenty of track time... I went home at about 2:30 after having about 25 laps... in one of the morning practice sessions I had 12 clean flying laps! definately recommend the maserati days to anyone who is keen, the guys are pretty relaxed and friendly... they even told me to pinch some metal valve caps off a Dino that was in the car park to pass scrutineering hehe...

I now have a severe case of thrashed brake rotors but managed a pb of 1:29.75

and you guys in those 3 GTR's are all mad... officially

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
