Be involved in a real race team! Pit crew volunteers needed!


Recommended Posts

Actually, it was a great race, after a slick pitstop I came out second, but then about 10 min later I had a long off-road excursion when a commonwhore pulled out of the pits into my racing line.

When I got back on track I was in 6th, which I held until about 5min from the end of the race - when the gearbox mounting snapped causing the engine to fall out ;)

Still it was a great weekend of racing!

so were you 46 or 47 ? was there but didn't get a chance to see much of the daewoo race, bit harsh that you guys had a combined race!

you've got the purple S2 i guess, i only saw 1 other skyline there it was a black R32! like the wheels, and TYRES!! how long do they last you normally?

i had a shocker of a day, was leaving in the after noon and a person with a trailor drove past my car and caugh the door (it was open) pulling it way past were it opens, destroying the front guard and door, as well as needing the chasis straightened near the hinges etc! atleast i had it after the respray for 2 days. not happy jan.

did you finish the race, or did you have to retire?

door= suxors :(

Nah, I had to retire and watch the ending from the pits. I was in 47, but actually 46 also broke engine mountings (much earlier, about 15 min into the race) we were the only 2 daewoos which retired which was a pretty good finishing ratio.

The race was a bit of a nightmare with the other cars, I mean a bit of traffic was OK, but we had these slow cornering commodores, falcons, gtrs etc all the time. I only got hit by one, but a few other 'woo drivers were less lucky :P In fact it was an idiot in a commodore pulling out of the pits right in front of me and then cornering way too slowly that lead to me off-road excursion....

Yeah, the blue 33 was mine, and the cheater tyres don't normally live on there but I'm too lavy to take em off sicne we're going back to Eastern Creek next Thur lol.

    • Interesting. I still think they are the result of impact damage somewhere along the line, but clearly lightning has stuck thrice! I've still got the original ones on my race car and they have had some hard work.
    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
