heh

saw this earlier today

cant imagine how much that would suck

According to Karl O., an S2K driver who was there that weekend.

Quote:

This guy just bought a new set of dedicated track wheels, the shop gave him the wrong lugs. As you can see the results were not good.

Quote:

Unfortunately, that was not staged. The lugs were the wrong thread. I was working the corner across the track at the time.

He was getting to the slalom, where I had a difficult time deciding whether I was gonna stay at 8500 rpms in 1st or shift to 2nd- so I'm guessing he was going between 45 and 50 mph.

You can't tell from that video, but that was a gorgeous car. He was behind me in tech inspection, I was admiring it. There can't be that many clean RX-7s left. The bodywork around the wheel wells is now completely ruined. The brake rotors bent enough that even once the stock wheels were put back on, the car didn't want to roll.

owned by the metric system

Amnesty international supplied this recording recovered from the cars telemetry system:

Left rear wheel: This guy sucks, let's get out of here!

Right rear wheel: Yeah, there's a sweet GTR over there, I'm heading that way!

right front wheel: I'm coming too!

Left front wheel: Me too, oh wait, forgot something. Guys,wait for me! wait! Damn, stuck under the quarter panel.

other wheels: FREEDOM! Oh damn, they're after us. Roll boys!

LR: momentum... fading....

RF: Damn those bastards with their self powered two legged motion.

RR: Please kill me. No more.

I think Amnesty international should consider the tyres attempted escape as a bid for freedom, and relocation to Australia should be something discussed at the next UN conference

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
