lots of cars involved but no real major impacts etc...looks like the marshall jumped at the right time just as the viper was hitting him.

is andybody else worried how easily those cars just fell apart, i mean seriously!

If they're anything like formula 1 cars they're made like that on purpose. Every part of the car breaks off so easy and absorbs all the impact, while the shell is a shit load stronger and protects the driver...

I was gonna say, that the marshalling etc at that race looked very amateur. You don't run out onto the track just because there's a crash, when other cars are still racing, even with yellow flags (especially when visibility is basically 0)

Yeah, they are designed like that, as to cushion the blow on impact. Plus carbon fibre is made to be strong only one way, the way in which the weave is going. So when cars are sliding in sideways to each other is plain to see how brittle it can be.

Funny shit though! Luck no-one was hurt.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
