Interesting to read the V8 take on the race :(

Funny how there was no mention of this GTR being a 20 year old, mostly driveway-built 206KW *nugget* against a couple of workshop backed 300KW+ almost brand spanking new taxis :nyaanyaa:

Now while we've been having a little bit of cheeky fun with this thread I should point out that there is always brilliant, skilled racing in the CTC category, regardless of the badge on the car.

Should also mention that most of the commodore guys seemed genuinely pleased to see Duncan FINALLY finish a race, and finish it well.

(and yes, I am still in trouble for posting that pic) :(

bloody commodores are already wide enough. at least we can rely on wakie not being hot and dry. I'm loooking forward too it but I would rather a couple of sprint races than one enduro really.

yeah the mount I got was from RR as well. they are cheaper on ebay though. it is attached to the rear passenger window, gives good in cabin view for my use in reviewing laps but not great for mounting it maxmising external view thru the windscreen. the best mount I've had for that is from the passenger side roof at the a pillar - these cameras have very wide angle heads so you need to mount them right forward. this is from that spot

Thanks Duncan. Is yours the suction mount, or the window mount version.

These seem like a pretty cheap option: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...=tab%3DWatching

yeah mate its the same one in that link. I just paid 3x for it :( It holds a light weight like a camera head easily and firmly. not sure how it would go holding a whole camera though, and as I said window is not necessarily the best place for in cabin shots.

I want to try mounting it off my cage as I had a cage mount put on for my Handycam... waste of money that was! :(

But I also want to try mounting it off the window and where you mentioned near the A pillar also. I just wasn't sure whether to get one like the above, or the 'Ultra Clamp' type from Race Recall http://racerecall.com/mounts__cases.html Can you tell me how the POV head mounts to the screw type fitting on the ebay clamp I listed? I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed :(

Dan came up with a pretty good setup for recording track time on my car. Spy pen, zip tie + numberplate ftw. Might not be applicable to race-style events as the camera might get crushed if you were to give the car in front a Duncan-style love tap, but for time attack where you dont have to worry about contact, it's pretty secure.

the spy pen was like $80 and can do over 5 hours of continuous recording. Plugs straight into pc/laptop and the files are already in avi or wmv format.

some proof this is a proper driveway built car!

the shelter came out when it started pissing down this arvo :P

D is still out in it getting the poor old girl ready for the 1-hour race at Wakie this weekend (and I'm guessing still cursing we won't have the 3 car + hoist shed built until June at least)

Oh yea,,,forgot about that little oversight. I'm at Oran Park this weekend,,,so Duncan needs help. 3 heads actually,,,1 to hold the car (no touching) 1 on the jack (also the wheel swapper) and 1 changing the wheel.

Ha Ha I could use some help too,,,but Duncans racing is a lot harder than mine.

Neil.

Spotted today :D

Hey Duncan,I'm thinking about becoming a paid up member of the club for amongst other benefits being able to go to race tracks on track days and give my GTR 33 a run,just wondering if you can tell me what's required of me before I can race on the track or even do solo laps to avoid hitting or being hit,as I don't want to damage my baby just want to have some fun legally??Cheers Grey Pearl.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
