Chris, you are welcome mate. Sorry I could not catch up with you again this afternoon. I was glad that you got George Miedecke in the car with you as well to give you some help.

I thought it was an awesome day for learning. Slippery as anything in the morning, and dry in the afternoon. I think you left just before the GT Falcon went into the wall coming onto the straight. An R34 GTR just tagged the wall trying to miss him. That pretty much finished the day.

Ah crap, thats no good at all :)

the GT - was it the yellow XY?

And which GTR....not the NUR......?

But yeah, John - loved it mate!! George did a top job too! Can you pass that on to him for me please mate?

Cheers!

Yep the yellow GT. And yes caused by the oil slick coming out of the back.

I was actually in the passenger with sam in her SP23 and the GT went past with oil coming out the back.I said to her, pull in so I can pull the GT in because somebody is going to crash.

I pulled into the pits and was waiting for him to come down the main straight so I could point the 'finger' at him .....and next boom. He was about 300 metres short of me!!!!!!

No it was the blue R34. Not much damage at all.

Brad, your car is awesome. Would love to see what times it would do on a clear track. Don't get me tempted :)

so...back to the discussion from page 6. what is the winning lap time going to be. I still say 1.10 or maybe 1.11

boz are you still betting 1.12? what is the quickest you have been around there in a skyline?

Well now that the exiges have entered..........I think they will do 11's or 12's. I think the quickest I have done is a 14, in a restricted GTR. I don't think any GTR will do a 10 or 11 unless they are on a slick. It does not matter how much power you have, it still has to go through 'R' compounds. My opinion anyway :)

I am pretty sure the quickest exige does a 9 on slicks.

So yes my money is on the exiges :D

I know it is on the Superlap web site somewhere, but for us dummies how about a link on the Home page that tells everyone who is running without searching for an obscure link somewhere in the text?

Cheers

Gary

He had a few moments when I was watching that 34.

Thanks Boz, its always good to get someone elses oppinion. Next timed day its your steer on slicks.

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
