Hope you have a ball mate! I was SO hoping to win that prize that ONE HD was running :)

Thanks mate, i will :mad:

I have never been OS and never been to a F1 GP, so im just about busting at the seems with excitement! I was going to go last year but couldnt get the passport ready in time.

It was hard to divert funds that usually go on the car to travel but i could go on modding the car forever so i thought it was about time

Bris, im not taking a phone over mate but i really think you should be there if you can, they rekon the atmosphere at the night race is right up there as far as F1 races go!

I really hope hamilton and webber can do well, ive been hanging to get a big mclaren jacket but i might just opt for the tshirt they all wear as the trip has cost a fair bit

I might rewatch last years race now i think :D

* Opens Arms for Alonso at the Baron's garage...

Clearly I have the best job in the world,

I cannot belive SPA residents are omplainin about noise, with track mangament having to issue an Environmental Imapct Assessement, obviously they just threw a was of documents at them. Problem is this has now been found to bed deficient and they have had their licence to operate pulled :)

the Kimster could well be the most boring human being to listen to in history; but the fkr can DRIVE, so it's all good

and Kimi's job is better- yours is just even more dangerous

Well, it appears to be a bit of a shame that the Germans didn't run over more of those smelly, crepé eating Belgians with their panzers in WWII... Now that they are complaining about this 'track' noise... MOTHERF*CKERS! Spa in one of the finest and most loved tracks in the world... FFS.... Of ALL the places in Benelux that a person could possibly live, they dwell in the Ardennes, NEXT to a race track... and then have the gall to complain... I think there is a major global shortage of HTFU...

Leaving for Sing in a few hours, soooo pumped! Just hope the Ferrari lads keep the fuel rigs in the garages and their cars out of the concrete barriers! :)

Sitting pretty for turn 1 again, hope the improvements to the track encourage more passing! :) I CAN'T WAIT!!!

how the fk could they let this happen. I might as well just forget about driving cars at all and start taking massive amounts of LSD and just sit in my room playing F1 on PS3. it's about as 'real' as it will get in the years to come...

I went last year..

tips for ya.

1) Heaps of money for booze/water, you'll need it... Badly.. ;)

2) Shorts and short sleeves/T-Shirts are a massive 'must have', people wearing longies and shirts are simply mad, it is sooo hot and muggy, you'll feel like jumping into the river! :yes:

3) Curash/baby powder, do not underestsimate the pain and discomfort of jock-itch/rash... Burn baby burn. Prevention is better than cure. :yes:

4) Make sure you take an anti-persperant deodorant, you'll sweat like a sow on heat.. :yes:

5) Have fun, and my teh fez win babeh! :):D

PS, I'll be signing autographs at the KFC near Sim Lim tower... lol, all the Singaporean school kids mistook me and my cuzzybro for Ferrari employees last year.. Funny as! Hahaha, Singaporeans are the coolest/funniest/sweetest people you'll meet, they're always so happy... If you've never been, I'm sure you'll love everything, bar the weather, which sux big monkey nutz..

Its not noise, its music. I was about 15kms from the track when i went, and on the Sat night of the 24hr race i say on the porch drinking dodgy beer and at 11am you could clearly hear the sweetest noise of GT2 and GT3 cars screaming, popping and farting on the downchanges...ok the farting may have been me :)

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
