Could This Be The Slowest Pit Stop In The History Of Motorsport?

Hang on a minute, I wasn't the tyre changer. Nower days I would control it all.

I was just the new boy holding the wheel bolts and that stupid plastic thing.

Where's the footage of me ripping off the front bar after Duncan punched some poor hapless fool up the bum because they were too slow?. And where the footage of wanker longhurst almost running you over Kel?.

Jokes aside it was brilliant fun :D

A few laps after this stop we got a safety car & mandatory petrol stop which got us to the back of the grid.

From there the boys drove like demons, not to mention our driver changes were a little quicker, and we ended up taking the lead about two hours from the end of the race.

About an hour from the end we were about to lap 2nd place (!!!!) - not that we knew it at the time - when we developed a misfire due to a failed alternator.

Lap times dropped from 1.20 to 2 minutes something, but we still managed to limp home and hold 2nd place, only getting overtaken in the dying minutes of the race (mind you in the pissing down rain, with no wipers or lights thanks to the dead alternator!)

Make a great storyline for a sappy racing movie..... :D

It's alright, if you did it bathurst style, Duncan could have climbed out, gone to the loo for a number two, and come back out and gotten in and still had to sit and wait... :)

that race was heartbreaking....we fought for 6 hours, smashed them, had it in the bag.....and then lost it due to an alternator shitting itself.

the pit stop was cool....crew done great for a bunch of rank amateurs :)

its a real shame the video only goes for 30 min....its really hard to imagine just how long and hard 3x 2 hour stints in a race car really are.

Jess....I've given up on the year for the state champs so I'm lining up a few other events instead. MRA at wakie is on the short list with W500, national supersprint at Phillip Island, SAU Oran Park day. And we are definate for 1hr enduro at Oran Park and Mt Buller sprint too. Hell of a mixed year

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
