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.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
