Which class do I go in with the 79 Toyota? ;)

Heh Heh The 79 Toyota is ME :P

Dunno whats goin on there...

Ne hoo... I spose i had a pretty shit day.

After a couple of months using every free hour i could to fix my car... i made it to sandown...

At some stage druing the 4 laps of the practice i appear to have spun a big end bearing..

Bad Times..... :ermm:

Oh well these things happen... time for some more work to be done.. (and more cash to be spent)

Any way i finally got around to getting the vids of my camera and posting them up.

The Corona, This was my last practice lap, thought i'd start to build up the pace...

From the camera footage i reckon it was about a 1:41.. for what its worth.

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of my engine eating itself...(i couldn't hear it at the time, through the helmet)

Bigbird putting down a 1:32.8 in the racing SIL80

The mighty B puts down a 1:43.02

LAG in the Datto with a 1:31.7

The LAG gives the Sandown Armco some lovin!

The footage is not great for some of them, especially the sound... was filmed with a pretty cheap lipstick camera.

Any wayz, Bring on next year... hopefully with a new engine :D

Enjoy

Fark that was a reasonable hit - what speed were you doing when you hit? Did it hurt? I think you were lucky to get away with what you did....

What caused it? You were pretty far over on the right when it happened....

Snowy, I love the SMAUG plate now I know what it means, ( I never read "The Hobbit")

but I reckon there is half a second in it if you remove the front one from blocking the FMIC on that Toyota! :cheers:

It hurt my neck a bit but not until later that night, the 115 y.o. st johns man checked me off on the day to say i was alright tho :cheers: i reckon i get to around 200 at the end of the straights and i had just put on the brakes so i reckon i left the track at 170ish, i'm very lucky to have only damaged myself and the car in fairly minor ways.

rear brake bias was up the shit so the rear locked up and just sent me sideways i had no chance of getting out of that one!

Its great fun fanging around in a 35 year old car with a nice smooth(ish) modern nissan powerplant under the bonnet. i'm keen for a full season next year for sure!

Yeah i'm not suprised you have a bit of whiplash... that was pretty high speed and could of ended a lot worse.

Why did it only happen to you on that lap? just braking later/harder?

Sorry to see.

I know we are drving our road cars as quick as we can and its likely something a little astray with our cars, but i went in at the same place as you. though my car swung the other way giving me a little more space. But considering the coin Sandown has from running V8s etc etc surely they can do something about the surface changes and bumps. Sure the track may lose some of its character but it is very bumpy and dangerous in the braking areas :rolleyes:

Hope the repair comes along nice and quick without too much coin being thrown away

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
