Do you think they will take video footage?

i really wanna see what it all looks like later on.

Im happy to pay for a video later or something it would just suck if we couldnt

that why i was going to bring a friend or two?

but yeah got comfimation and it says no spectators...?

A camera in the car just doesnt cut it for drifting....

just pass your cam off to one of the driver thats waiting in line for their turn. cant guarantee the quality of the cameraman but you will get some footage.

From what i have heard you aren't shy on power either. I bet my torque and power will be easier to control than yours. :devil:

Just have a look how progressive my power curve is and how flat the torque graph is, especially on low boost, and how early they come in. NO LAG FTMFW!!!!! :devil:

At my last Advanced Driver Training day, with Driver Dynamics, they wet the first corner and got us to stomp the accelerator from 40km/h, in 2nd gear; car went round that corner sideways nicely, 4 times. On the last run the instructor asked me to not use the throttle to regain control, just so that the car gets out of shape.

Damn this is going to be sooo much fun!! :spank:

PS: No Westies interested in driving to Sandown together?

well things have gone from bad to worse with my car *cries* had a mate come over today to have a look at it, once we had the timing correct...the newly installed water pump smashed...I guess this was the noise, I was so worried about. Lucky I didnt drive it. Towing it back to the guys who installed the water pump on monday, so I'm touch and go for the event. B1(MR_fanny) Ill have to wait and see what the mechanics say. But as I just paid for the timing belt and water pump to be done, I cant see how this is at all my fault. Its been a right pain in the ass not having a car over xmas and new year....

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
