Pulled out the old AFX track that my wife had from years back and made an interesting find.

The Mobil 05 car that is included is actually....

I can imagine the die hard V8 fans who bought this seeing the large picture on the front of Brocky's VP, and then their outrage after finding the 05 car is a Skyline..."WHAT THE!!....." :happy:

So I decided to correct the error, and got out my paints....

We've actually got 2 sets and therefore 2 GT-Rs, so we painted the other one silver and raced it around Suzuka.

I can see the Hobby Shops now, getting an upturn in business due this OP !!! :P

FACT:- 1991, Peter Brock was having lunch at Blaxland Maccas. So I introduced my 11year old son and Peter asked,

"And what car do you like best?"

Mark replied, "GT-R" to which Peter replied, "Well they're a really great car!"

I'm wondering if he really meant it... so that the GT-R could wipe the floor over those Walkinshaws > VNs etc hehe :happy:

Yeah I used to rock my scalextric when I was a wee lad. The GTR was my fave although I had no idea what it was I think I used to call it a corvette :)

hahaha i pulled my scalextric outlast week and set it up

all 1.3 km of track

my back verandah is now 1 massive track

Some one had a f*king awesome childhood :)

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
