I watched this last night and i couldnt believe who i saw in the vid blocking out all the other photographers as the Gt500 car rolled out!! Why its the Beer baron!

I still cannot for the life of me understand how you managed to get this close to the GT500 car BB...

It boggles my mind.

Isn't it time you admitted your true feelings for the Beer Baron Adam?

Im sorry? You wouldnt be insinuating I'm homosexual by any chance now would you? Far be it for someone the caliber of an upstanding man such as yourself, right?

Actually, i quite fancy you nickyboy.

あほ。

lol, I don't mind. I know I'm all that.

and you are right. I look like a bloodnut in those pics. it's that late afternoon fuji sun that does it. I'm not a ginger ninja. I swear.

personally I think I blend in fairly well. I even dutifully stood my ground to get a good possie for like 20 min before it rolled out!

the strange thing is you would think being 6'2" would disuade the much smaller japanese gentleman from pushing me too much, but I have learnt that trying to come between a japanese man with a camera, and something worth shooting is like trying to stop a shinkansen with your hand as it heads into a tunnel. you have a high chance of getting knocked down.

Yep and throw a scantily clad woman into the mix and youve got mayhem stampede.

lol, scantily clad women mean I have to watch where I step as there are usually so many guys laying on the ground for up-skirt that there is a high danger of one of them accidentally copping my size 12 shoe on the back of the head, or even worse on the top of they mega yen canon lense.

just to attempt to keep this on topic (lossing battle I know, and I am guilty). what was the name of the vid? or even better if you could post a pic of it? onegaishimasu I'll send word out for a copy. :D

You can have mine if you want it, beers on you next time youre in town. I can easily get another copy.

Pm me some deets.

Perhaps nick could have helped you out too, except he binned his copy.

Haha dont worry, you blend in marginally better than myself with blonde hair when I was over there :(

The top has got to go.

Is that a disposable camera? I could have sworn you were cranking at a wheel on the thing...

lol, yeah it's one of those throw away jobbies. canon 400d. I was probably adjusting settings with the wheel on the top. :laugh:

and nytsky, hands of the jumper mate! it is a nice jumper! just colours are all a bit weird in that late afternoon sun. I mean fark it's hugo boss. though I must admit it is a bit reminiscent of freddy krugers outfit.

and I guess it's true that troy and I were separated at birth. all this time I was a bloodnut and never knew it. it took japanese technology to show my inner ginger. :D

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
