sure you are....

Holy shit your right! that is my name, but i still drive there every night :(

oh I got the sarcasm... but really there are a lot of keyboard warriors / PS3 lovers that would sh%$ it the first time they actually got airborne at the ring at 180+....

drunken is excused as he will go there I am sure :thumbsup:

nice nice nice drunken :)

I bet fatz also took in some beverages while over there!

I'm up to lap 150+ but there isnt much time for laughing!!

ben...do i smell an r35 on the horizon for you...besides you need to replace that r32 you had :)

i agree with williams & snowman, if u haven't driven the nurburgring track or any track for that matter then u cant really comment about lap times.

for instancec i used to race bikes & just sold my 06 gsxr1000 - my previous 05zx10r took me to my personal best of 1:37 around eastern creek :D

what a beast of a car though!!!

1 day i will own an r35, when they get below 80k in the 2nd hand market, so maybe i can predict this price in 5yrs times (i hope)

i was @ crd last week & i saw their white greddy promo r35 - it is a BIG fat car but beautiful at the same time

^ ahhaha, yes i noticed that too!! and then he turned it off straight away as well i think....

but really, if you're testing the thing, why not treat it like crap just to see how long it takes to break :D

My heart skips a beat every time I am airborne over 150kph.. 2 if i am not already heading directly straight.... and I have been sideways getting airborne @ 120k+.. my boxers werent so tidy whity after that... was on dirt though.. not tar.. I imagine the grip on the side that lands first would be quite a bit more intense on tar. When I did loose it like that, the last time I checked my speed I was heading over the 120 mark but that was checking to see quite how much extra braking i needed since I had not been through there quite that fast.. felt like I missed the brake point went for the brakes.. did slow down a bit, went to balance the thing as tight to the apex as I could.. way to much speed (my idiocy) slid right out the other side, of an embankment tail slightly leading me and got air of the embankment landed rear right first, allot of mud and grass later I was so godam happy I didnt die.. that moment before the embaresment of hte fact htat everyone else would soon know that I had to be dug out.

To correct myself earlier.. the record for the lemans circuit @ the ring was 5mins something.. 5:29 is what my memory and laziness from not checking the netz tells me. the last Leman's in the (late? 80's || early 90's? ??94??). That was not the same track the ring is today, the ring back then was a well maintained race track that still claimed allot of cars / drivers but was definetly smoother with a godam lemans race car.... not a production variant vehicle anything.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
