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

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
