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

yeh it was a hub problem, he was destroying up until then. even though it was rediculously fast, it was having a few issues for the first season and was forced to retire a few times, was a pretty big ask to bring a brand new car, nothing like they have ever seen, then make it a competitive car in an established series in a foreign country.

Skaife is a champion of Australian motorsport, yes.

Skaife is an arrogant prick, yes.

But you have to give credit where credit is due, how ever many years in the top series, beating Brocks winning races total etc etc.

I think, yeah he's a wanker but he has completly changed the motorsport in a good way.

I say, good on him.

And I say bring back the punch ups between drivers. Its motor racing, its competitive, they're fired up and raring to go!

Thats the problem with alot of sports ... they've gone soft. I don't condone voilence, but there's always a level of compeitiveness that will naturally call for it ... its in our blood all the way from the caveman era!

the longhurst /morris incident for the young kiddies not old enough to remember

I remember this. Funny to think how longhurst has always had a volatile temper.... funnier still was that he caused that particular accident by hitting the aft section of the front wheel on morris' car... once that happened it was all over

still piss funny tho

Love the pics of the Skyline GTR they are great.

Yeah Skaife he's one of those guys that you love to hate, when he goes we will find someone to replace him.

But he has had a great career. I guess there are would be people in Australian Motorsport that would give anything to do whe has done.

Agreed.

Real fighters wouldnt lower their aims to get into UFC

UFC is for steriod-jacked brutes.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
