My car is in at the panel shop getting the TWP scar removed (where the tow hook ripped through the front bar) - and yet I still have another shake down event before Targa in a couple of weeks. Part of me has always thought I am crazy doing it with still some pre-prep to go and Benny your story sure hasn't helped that feeling! LOL

Although my last remaining shake down is at Phillip Island and I always like to think that is a place where people try harder than ever to stay on the black stuff. It's not somewhere that rewards tom foolery with a laugh all that often!

Sorry to put you off you brekky Snowy :P

Been talking to Dan a bit lately, the boys pumped! Great to see! :woot:

I'd upload to incar I have of the guy who damaged my car for everyone to have a good old chuckle at, but I don't know how to shorten the clip to 10 minutes to upload it to Youtube?

And why isn't Steve Jones on here ffs? He has a GTR.... aren't we all meant to be buddies and pump eachother up a bit?

We got the rear muffler cut off yesterday to save weight (still got the middle one), and when we get the car back from the workshop i'll pulling the trim , and 4 lap sash belts out. Hoping it all should equil some kg's.

What a scary race track :( Bloody quick and you can't see any of the corners. Not much in the way of run off either. That Turn One is damn fast, taken flat in...4th??

Flat in 5th :) I'm grabbing 5th about what, 60m before the tower, and it's around 7,000rpm through the kink.... great corner :(

Are you kidding? it looks like a f**king cool track! now I know why everyone rates it!

Ahh the kink... Still have a bit of NS400R F2 seat material stuck in mt sphincter where I chased Scott Doohan for 5 laps on his 1000 yam round Lakeside years ago - Flat thru the kink in the wet.

Now why have pill shrank sooo much LOL.

Run off for cars!!! need the walls to bounce em back on the track.

Will have a look BW when I get into an Emirates longe and have some bandwidth.

See ya there

At first I thought 5th as it looks f**king fast but wasn't sure. Dunno what the gears ratios on an R32 are but that must be close to 200k's? Balls of Steel. Should be an awesome car for Targa Tas.

Hmmm not sure either... speedo doesn't work. But around that I'd reckon.

Car should be ok I think, it's too stiff suspension wise, especially if it's wet, but my budget simply didn't/doesn't run to swapping it out for something more suitable atm.......

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
