Hi guys

Just to let you know...

I have spent 8 years, and many prototypes perfecting and building what I believe to be the most realistic Racing simulator in Australia.

I spent $55,000 odd building and rebuilding an R31 Wagon a few years ago, I just relived it today showing Steve all the photos of busted diffs, turbos, gearboxes and other bits...

I decided to build a sim instead, as it was cheaper in the long run... Now I drive an Aston Martin DBR9, a Porsche Cup Car, a Mercedes Truck, a V8 Supercar, and the list goes on... :D

Rest assured, for those of you booked in for the simulator experience, you'll have a great time!

I'm going to see if I can arrange to have the Simulator at the Yacht club where my Yacht is moored, as there are a couple of Barbecues and a large covered area to entertain guests there, and a bar for drinks purchases as well... watch this space...

Some of you may even want to come out for a sail for an hour or so if the weather permits, but the yacht can only take 12 or so comfortably.

Steve downloaded the skyline mod for me this afternoon, so I'll install it tonight and have a play setting up the car for Bathurst and seeing what sort of times I can punch out. If I get time I'll record a hot lap and get it up on youtube for you to check out... heres one from a couple years ago before I got the 62" screen (yes... sixty two...)

Cheers,

Gadget

i think the guy in the video is using a level of traction control as he just mashes the accelerator with it turned off your would possibly just spin depending on gear and revs

get the game here for your own practise

ROFL...

The "guy" in the video is me... when I had hair a couple of years ago... :banana:

no Traction control... the Corvette I am driving needs to be driven like you stole it to get fast times... it breaks traction yes, but it drifts well, hence the wild steering corrections constantly!

Nothin' wrong with mashing accelerators mate :bunny:

I'm using this mod, but the older version...

thats why I've had braking issues... I read on here the update to 1.1 fixes brake issues!

I'll have a play tonight and see how it goes with better brakes.

    • 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. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
