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

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
