This is one of my Life long goals to drive this track

Mine too!

This is arguably the best drivers circuit in the world. i would love to do it, but money is the key. it would be a dream to drive this circuit in my own car or any car for that matter!

I have screws loose. Here is a chance to earn some money, travel and see the world and I am already looking for cheap thrashers to have some fun in whilst over there

RB20 POWAH shall reign supreme in Europe as well :O

I would but they are still about Aus$30k, i like the idea of hitting burger rings....but perhaps my thinking is off on a tangent :)

troy mate, hitting the burger ring on the first date is not considered good manners in civilised european circles. at least buy her some flowers first...

If enough people go and you all knwo wach other then you should just pool your money and grab an E36 M3. They are as cheap as chips in the UK, this way you can go on a driving holiday to get there and back. Split the cost 4 ways, cheap good laugh. Imagine the smell of 4 lads cruisng accross Europe in an M3. You would need lots ot Tour Support to handle that smell :)

Ahhh, M3 you say, better to grab an M5 I reckon. Four door comfort and at least the rear windows wind down to get rid of the you know what when four blokes get in a car.

The same mate that has that M3 also has this 3.8L M5 (he reckons it's more fun than his 33 GTR w/- 500HP), from memory he paid about 8k for it. Of course we could sell "ours" when we're done if it wasn't rolled up into a ball :)

I wouldn't mind going, provided i had the funds available at the time. Just a minor issue with renting the car @ the track "Minimum age 25"

Hey mate, there is a mob who will hire to under 25's.

Do a search for Nurburgring in here and you'll see a thread with a guy mentioning how he was able to hire a car. Chuck him a PM. He gave me all the details, but I don't have them anymore.

So any others doing this. Weather is starting to clear up and i am on the hunt for a car to use.

Stooopis thing is i can fly to UK for $800 return, yet to get to Frankfurt its $1700 return :D

Roy, public transport in europe is fantastic, and cheap. jump on a train and you'll be border hopping your way there in no time.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
