average speed was above 130 and got booked at 137 at roma ( damn it).

highest speed was bout 150 on the highway the other side of mt isa!

lol that's faster than you went at the Maryborough sprints... (or any of us for that matter!) Weren't you heading up that way only a couple of months ago when you dropped into wheels on wide bay for a look this year?

P.S. what's with you not getting a drive yet Russ??! :thumbsup:

lolol , well sorry Russ but seems I'm now Johnny on the spot :happy: .... not my fault you moved up there! :D

You were damn lucky not to get the fine for 140 mate, instant loss of licence! Did the big 'cruiser get up without needing 5 litres of oil topped up? lol :thumbsup:

come on troy. do the bathurst sprint. it's probably the same dough as 2 days at spa. but it's BYO car!!! and some might argue bathurst is as good as spa. well for an aussie it's as close as we get!

well with some cash coming my way I might be tempted to do spa with you big boy... ;) would have to take the gf too, but she can go looking at waffles or whatever else they have in belgium on those days.

I can very happily confirm I drove the thing yesterday and the mirror is solid as a rock now ;)

I came out late and did not get to see your run mate but I heard that you went into the 53 :P

You know you gotta give more feedback about the drive than just a short blurb on the mirror you know :P

And you didn't come say hi?!?!

Mid 54's actually, but in my defence I'd never driven that track layout before, or the car obviously, quite a bit to learn in six laps :O

The car is amazing, Mark said my eyes were like dinner plates when I stepped out, it's such a sweet little handler, but the standout for me would have to be the gearbox, wayyyyy cool that is!

Oh, and having all wheels spinning in 5th gear at the bump between turn 1 and 2 is pretty funky :)

Yeah we discussed it getting a passenger seat yesterday, will be difficult due to the muffler box but we'll try. Other peeps neeeeed to experience this car!

And funnily enough, I'm the only person other than Mark to have driven it..... the back of my throat is bruised. haha :)

OMG! You got to drive that ;):O:O You get to do everything your my hero! :):P A passenger seat is a must! If there is a will there is a way..Getting a hot lap in that would top my ride in a radical I reckon :O

*I really need to read the above posts" LOL

Sure, its a nice car. But you cant tell me you didnt jump from it just itching to get behind the wheel of an RB20 powered BOHEMOTH GTSt ! :)

haha I might be joining this RB20 clan shortly! They better be all you guys crack them up to be....

P.s Roy your car is a personal favourite of mine..Loved it on song at DECA!

Mate, with eyes that large even girl would stay away from ya :P

Seriously, I got out there quite late and a lot of people went home aldready. Briefly spoke to Mark and did not know that you were out there until I talked to Dazmo in the evening.

That is an awesome time for first time on that track and in the car. Hope you get some more practice with it ;)

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
