agreed. I reckon loftus in his starlet would be pretty hard to beat in the FWD class or 2L class. coming down the straight it sounds like it's about to suck you into it... definitely gee him up for it dave.

Get to see Lofty this weekend at the state champs in the starlet... :laugh:

Would be great to see that car run at Superlap! :down: So cute :laugh: haha

Thanks zebra.

BTW Noddy not so funny did you see Mythbusters and dimples with aero.

Might throw some dents in THe SLot Car. No I don't need any help with this fatz.

Should have just brought the car to Melbourne for the weekend, you'd have hundreds of speed dimples!

Stuart: That is a really nice offer mate, hopefully they won't be needed :D

How bad is the scratch on the Octane R32 from testing at Eastern Creek last week?

Must of been one hell of a ride!!

Hi Bozman1,

Here are a couple of photos of turn one just after Russ's "moment" ...

large1773.jpg

large1772.jpg

There was a brake issue but Russ managed to slow the car with the handbrake heading into turn one - pretty amazing bit of driving really. It just touched the wall on the inside of turn one. It did look like a pretty wild ride though.

We were out there last Wednesday with Mark Berry doing some aero testing on the R34 ... the R34 is now running one of our Aeromotions Dynamic Wings ...

large1769.jpg

There is a video here of the R34 on the test day at Eastern Creek shot by Andrew Hawkins from Motive DVD with some in car footage of the R34 ...

There is an article here with photos from the test ...

hey john

yeah mate , i had skid marks as long as the ones in the photos! lol

i dont want that to ever happen again , took me really by surprise, brakes had been perfect all day.

i was probably doing about 265-270 when i rolled off the throttle and went for the brake and it went to the firewall! twice , then i went for the handbrake

the car is okay , mark reckons it will buff right out! haha... should be right in a few weeks, pulled engine and gearbox out it, while we were at to make way for the new holinger :blush:

seeya soon

russ

p.s oh my god the r34 is handling like shit!! video shows just how bad. the 4wd is STILL an issue and now it has quite a bit more power so it just makes it harder to handle. i hope it is sorted soon

I saw the marks on the track (not your undies) a couple of days after you were at the creek and thought wtf!? haha

I was suppose to be there on the same day but had a date clash.

It is a reality check and makes you realise how quick you are travelling at around the creek. Well done on the save....could have been much much worse :)

Watched the vids of the R34...looks like it is full time RWD :huh:

yeah thanks john, it sure was a moment i wont forget

the r34 doesnt look real nice at the moment, but some headway has been made this week

the worst thing about the video is, there is a 50 mm pressure gauge for the 4wd pressures right in front of the gearstick , great when your looking from the drivers seat

but shithouse when your trying to look on the video!! hahaha

Benny, I think they are planning on only having 12 cars on the track in each Open sesion (which will probably be the biggest groups)...or around that figure. As long as people watch there mirrors and car's are of similar speed, I cannot see why you would not have a clear track for the whole session, as it is nearly 4kms in length.

Pro class will be even less traffic :bunny:

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
