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.

lol @ the crazy camera toting 6`ft baka gaijin! :D

You SO look like you shouldnt be there! :)

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

Ohhhhh, its Hugo Boss so that makes it alright then! No. It doesnt and yes it DOES look exactly like freddies top.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
