Strange question... Have you earthed the radiator? Not just through the mounts either... Full earth cable...

PS... It was never really that hot... :(

We rolled in at about 4:30 am Monday and went to work as well, No holiday up here. As you could Imagine it has taken a couple of days to get back on track, and get a clip together. Sara spent a fair bit of time wandering about getting Random bits to string together and some incar as well. The bump in the straight claimed 2 good tires which was very annoying. Semi's reaped a 50.23 according to the time sig on the tape and the slicks pulled a 48.09. I'm not saying there a real official time as the camera a bit of a shake with the slicks on. my fav part is the ducks crossing the track.

Sorry some of the quality isn't quite up there, I trying some different formats for uploading. Suggestions are most welcome.

Ps. Thanks to SAU NSW for putting on a great day, we had a ball and would do it again this weekend if there was enough $$$ in the bank.

You had the Yellow R33 that did the big left tyre lockup into turn one? I've got that in slow motion video. I don't have a lot of other video of your car just a few bits. If you want me to cut you a CD PM me your address. Didn't know you came all the way down from Qld! Wow, what a farewell to OP.

I almost forgot about the ducks - they were crossing the track at turn one when I came in on one lap, and because they're dark brown I could only just see them. Luckily I wasn't pushing on that lap, the pedal had started to fade the lap before, so I was taking it easy (or easier, anyway).

Ok, so just got an update on the kid that got taken to hospital from the Go Karting that was going on on the North Track.

Had the kid been wearing a cheaper helmet, he would have died.

He has broken his cheek bone in 5 places

Broken Jaw as well.

He was in a coma, and they are removing the drain plug from his brain today.

They are unsure if permanent damage has been sustained.

One of the girls i work with, her cousin was racing in the go karts.

I'll keep updating as I hear.

But wishing him a speedy recovery.

car was much better behaved this time around, i was confident on the brakes where as last time i shit myself when i had to brake as she wanted to swap ends. Still have to sort out light throttle as it wasnt happy, and check reverse and 6th gear selector as there is an issue there, but all in all, big improvement on last time. might be up for the next group up next track day.

btw stu you need to get a timer in the car, I reckon you were getting around there in a pretty decent time...

You should be in the fast group with us. You're quick enough and you'll be surprised how much you improve when your chasing someone quick, ie. Duncan and Neil. (but if you try and imitate what Neil does with that radical in a car you'll end up in a world of trouble, lol)

I was in group 1 on road tyres in the GTR so you'll be fine.

Besides your car looks and sounds fast and we all know that's what really counts :D

yep, although not deliberately. it is solid mounted at the top no rubber bushes

really appreciate the update, thanks Chris. We all hope it turns out OK for him, that was among the nastiest things I've seen at the race track, and is exactly why I always race with plenty of metal around me.

haha you were fine.....but i noticed you took some shortcuts only the locals know :D actually you pedalled it damn well considering the street tyres.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
