ok, let's talk melb GP.

I wasn't planning to go this year but at the last minute realised I couldn't bear to miss it. So I'll be heading south of the border again.

So, who is going? where are you going to watch from? and what else are you going to get up to whilst down mexico way?

LOL i doubt you'll want to spend time with us general adminision scum bags... Ill be spending sunday in my favorite spot at turn 8 near the car show, but ill be wandering around the park Friday and Saturday watching the sights and sounds of the circus.

And trying to scam as much free crap as i can get.

hey, I only consider you scum next to krusty. yeah, you see how you scum.

and ftr, I've done general admission once before but found that I missed my usual spot in the turn 1 grandstand. so every time since it's brabham stand all the way. this year I wasn't going to go at all, but changed my mind at the last minute, so no chance of a grandstand ticket at this late stage, so I'll be mixing with the common man. don't know how i'll cope.

i just looked at the prgram and have to say it's looking a little lame this year. no V8s is a big shame, and nothing to replace them ;)

That's ok Richard, Brisby will take you for a spin in his 32 to make up for it... :D

He's done quite a few mods in the last week or two... :P

Back on topic, might head down on the sunday for a looksie....

yeah, brisby is good a taking people for a spin. like turn 8 at eastern creek for example... ouch. :)

so since this will be my first solo mission for melb for the GP I may need some entertainment. I usually go down with mate, or my gf but doing it on my lonesome this year. i'll be down from thursday to monday, so if anyone wants to meet up for some crazy reason and get drunk with me, then lets do it.

hm, maybe if I get troy drunk enough I can convince him to drive the ol GTST out onto the albert park circuit for a few happy laps. i know they can get streakers and protesters off pretty quick smart, but how long do you reckon it'll take them to catch and subdue troy belting his little GTST around Albert Park? now that would be something to see. that would be a sight, the pace car, and security chasing troy around lap after lap, hope they display his times up on the board... lol. maybe even pull into the pits troy and see what happens? maybe score a set of rays wheels and 13 inch wide slicks and some jungle juice to keep you going!

Hey Beer Baron,

Me and Ewen (youve met him a few times) will be down, were heading down on the Thursday and heading back on the Tuesday after.

Will PM you my mobile number and we can catch up, lots of drunken idiocy going on no doubt and were staying in a hotel on Queens St 2 mins from the GP entrances.

EDIT: At this point in time it looks like I will even have a spare Senna pass if you want to come and kick it in the grandstand with us :ninja:

sounds good mate. pm'd you my number too.

as for you troy, don't worry, I think I can put an advanced call in for some pre-stunt legal advice.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
