Yeah, he was quicker than me all day. But i was happy with a 1.32. I only did two or three sessions out there so i was very happy with my time, and only 3 seconds off the pace of the owner. Oh and no i dont fit in the car all that well, dutton will be intresting.

yeah its pretty embarassing when someone jumps in your car and is quicker than you :D:)

so Ryan was in the 1.29's hey... was this on RE55's? cos if it was I think he has a couple more seconds in it still... I've done a 1.29 around there on streets with the speed limiter on and I think our cars are similar power/weight

its hard to drive a car fast that you aren't comfortable in but you should have plenty of practice adapting to different cars :)

I ran a 1.19.32. Handbags ran a 1.19.37. As my friend Vin says "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...." :)

Scotsman only ran a 1.21.something as he was caving under the pressure. :D

In my defence it was the breaks that caved under pressure.

But the car is capable of a 1.19, so that's all I need to know.

I didnt actually run so my car is still in one piece :domokun:

In my defence it was the breaks that caved under pressure.

Yeah but Handbags ran the 1.19 AFTER you ran the 1.21. So surely he had less brakes than you did :wacko:

:)

In Chris's defence he did not get a clear run it that sesion at all. The brakes had absolutly had it by the time I brought the car back. Peddle to the floor and used about 30% of the pad in one sesion. The only thing in my favour was that there was a bit of rubber on the track and it was as warm as it was going to get. I seriously think the car can run a 1.18 with good stoppers.

Oi and snowy running in the teens doesnt make you a good bloke. You need to buy me a frigen burger rather than sending me to the back of the line to achive that. :(

was a top day!

the 'bird was performing pretty well, still suffering a lot of understeer, and can't get the power down out of corners as early as i'd like.

blew an intercooler hose off in one session, progressively lost the manifold-turbo gasket throughout the day and an O2 sensor that refused to stay in its hole.

little problems, but enough to see me only get two timed sessions before calling it quits. but not to worry, had heaps of fun in my final session and took a second off my PB, down to a 1:33.2

car's still got a fair bit in it, my testicular mass is the limiting issue :laugh:

desperately need a tacho. after watching the in-car footage, i realised just how early i'm shifting! she was cutting out at about 190-200km/h in 5th, but we know it's not the speed limiter, so thinking it's the AFM maxing out. bugger.

...and good footage Jack. But what happened to the Stig...LOL it looks like you were driving ANGRY today :laugh: But parkign it on the 1:18s all day. Fark me that take a lot of committment

The Stig was on a mission for a 17, but driving with anger was not going to cut it.... Smooth is the Stig's style, but the gearbox wasn't up for another session...

Although it was great entertainment for the spectators, so I was told anyway.....

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
