no going to Malaysia or Singapore is cheaper than going to Melbourne. I was looking into the for the GT500 racing to see the R35 race. about $1500 for 6 days including airfares and hotels http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Su...l&hl=sepang

definately couldn't spend 6 nights in melbourne and see the gp for $1500.

depend where you stay and who you know to get tickets from.

speaking to David Richards the other day they are still not happy they are being stopped from running the ex McLaren Chassis. Williams are still the biggest campaigners against Prodrive. But i'm guessing being Berrnie which ever side has the most money will get their way

for sure. 6 nights in melbourne probably costs me $1500 in cans alone!

Gees if I had a dollar for everytime a GP driver used the expression "for sure" or maximum...

Problem is that for the majority of them English is not their first languge & they get tutored in what to say by the PR people. Which means you either get a Kimi (pick one) saying nothing or generic gobshite instructed by the PR people.

Oh and since when does "top 11 finish" sound better than 11th?

haha me and my mate love it when they use 'for sure'

The best was a combo by either Kimi or it might've been Massa...

"I think so for sure we will be competitive" or something along those lines....Massa uses for sure HEAPS and he speaks like 8 languages...

Well atleast there is some more sponsorship stickers on it this year round. Hopefully the $'s are there to back it up. They took a bath financially a couple years ago when BMW did the dirty on them. I don't know why Toyota don't start writing some cheques for Frank. He hoses their factory team on far fewer dollars. Give him a few more & "factory" status (Like Renault used to do with Lotus) and he could get more sponsorship still.

Car looks good & the lap times are good. Drivers are quality. Everything looks to be in place for another improved year for the boys from Grove. :D

If this keeps up I may yet have to commit to some Nakajima merchandise. :thumbsup:

good stuff

so i know what the hit is going to be in 2011, roughly what has it all set you back?

1k for tickets.

1k for flights.

Staying with a mate of mine from boarding school who's family live in Singapore, his old man works on the offshore rigs so we got a roof over our heads... :thumbsup:

Plus accomodation for the GP weekend was massively overpriced... Daylight fcking robbery...

I was only talking to a friend in Singapore the other day. They all still work and live in Bugis with out Singapore office looking out over part of the track. The problem is ticket prices as could probably get work to hook me uyp with airfares if i do a 2-3 month stint over there. Plus, so many funny places to go and drink

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
