Ok before you all flame me with your holden crap :( just remember that Mark Skafe was the one who drove the R32 GTR around bathurst and absolutely crushed all the competition (holdens & fords) and subsequently created an untouchable legend of bathurst, so i think he sould be mentioned in these forums.

Asshole or not ... I still wouldn't mind the racing career he had. No denying it.

Being one of the first to hammer a GTR on bitumen in Oz and not have cops trying to defect you is a dream :(

Skaife has a big piece of the HRT pie, so I'm sure we'll still see him around.

i was in the nissan tent at mallala the first time the gtr raced there was awsome to see the car in the flesh . if i remember correctly the car failed to finish that day tho due to brake probs i think .

but i remember all the v8 guys saying wtf how is this thing so fast lol was the start of a era

cheers midlife crisis

finally the self obsessed wanker is gone, we can finally watch a v8 race without having to have him attack other innocent drivers due to his inability to drive in his old age.

now we just gotta get rid of the other 2 wankers, murphy and tander :(

I met him at gold coast indy 2006 and we were allowed to ask him questions. I was selected and I asked him about the time he drove the GTR I got it on video too I guess I can upload it to youtube or some place if people are interested.

I guess he is just a lucky guy living the dream of what most of us would kill for haha.

yes please

put it into the "My Favourite Youtube Clip" thread

was entirely murphy's fault yet he had the arrogance to attack ambrose, that is just one example of how much an idiot that kiwi is

+1, ambrose was a great racer, and its good to see him finally getting positive attention and good race results in the US

Anyone remember the Murphy - Ambrose encounter before Ambrose left for Nascar? Murphy cut him off or something. They both got out the cars and were yelling at each other in the middle of the track!

YES I remember that...i was at work watching it cracking up

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
