LOL - given we are already spending $6K on car rentals for 3 days Bris it's not such a silly idea hey!

And Aaron - not hooking up with Mossy. At this stage we just have a Scirroco for the day. We are only there for the Sat - heading back to Spa that night to watch the FIA GT1's - then doing 2 days at Spa currently in a Caterham. (Unless Brisby tells me otherwise over the next few days! LOL)

Snowy and Brisby in Spa and the Nurburgring travelling by Autobarns. That's going to be too much fun !!!

You should buy a GTR in England and then get Brisby to sell it when you are finished. The money you'd lose for a quick turn around would be heaps less than car rentals.

Do IT !!!!!! Do IT !!!!

Yeah but I've had enough experience with GT-R's to know that 3 days of open pit at a racing track with a one of these cars = 0% chance of something not breaking. LOL

At least with the rentals if something breaks we just hand back the keys and they give us another one.

Plus - it's not like the Caterham R400 is slow (That's what we'll have at Spa). It has a bigger power to weight ratio than my R35 and yet none of it's tricky electronic talent. Should keep us entertained enough.

Here's a lap of the 'Ring in one of them.

In theory communism works.

Start selling shares in a SAU nurburgring GTR gtst :blink:

What do you mean unsafe - they look fine as long as you don't try and get out of them :)

You can even do barrel rolls over the top of each other in them!

Sirrocos are great little cars, Golf GTi not as good but more fun as they are way less predictable and less stable. DSG gearboxes are still gay but i was glad i was driving a car with one as being a left hook car, a track i almost got lost on...it jsut made it all a little easier to take in. :O

I can promise i was nowhere near the same orbit as Aaron or Snowies times :rofl:

And also from experience I can tell you that sitting in an unfamiliar LHD powerfull car means you spend a great part of you concentration on doing things within the car (i.e. shifting gears with your right hand takes THINKING about - it doesn't just happen without thought like it does in your own car) which means you can't attack the track anywhere near as well.

Its the same reason why when we know people are going there we suggest the VW Golf or the Scirocco - because it is a DSG and it means if you want to you can just leave it an Auto and drive (which is exactly what Aaron did in that lap). But being in the familiarity of your own car you could do the same thing. And our cars would HAMMER around there. It's such a fast track and that perfectly suits the GT-R's! :rofl:

Oh, ok. Good point.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
