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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
