Yesterday at Wakefield, wasn't enough time to bite the nails but it was "heart in your throat" to watch!

I did a couple of 'loop de loos' of my own on the wet track in the morning... it's okay, I kept her on the track, she's still bootiful (car that is, I'm well past that :) )

damn that spin was a little to close for comfort... Did Liz only dump her coolant a few minutes before or something because they are normally pretty good at pulling warning everyone/cleaning it up when that happens.

also flash mobs always provide for funny moments :)

From what I could see, Liz realised she was dumping something (coolant) and deliberately went off the track moments before (and returned to pit off the track safely) the following three cars behind Liz lost control at the same point (due to coolant) and narrowly missed each other... although you don't see the third car, you can hear the screeching in the video clip. Brendan was very much a sitting duck in the line of fire... he was very very lucky.

There was only one flag point and that was the start/finish line - they stopped all cars and spread the cement dust out. I went out moments after and it was fine again, so that cement dust works wonders.

*I call it cement dust, it may be something else.

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
