Some cool bloke with a wicked name doing an Epic lap of the Nurburgring in a modified 996 Turbo. The car is simply awesome, the driving is beautiful, enjoy :ermm:

it sure has some rapid acceleration! braking is out of this world good too.

I'm heading there in September for a few days of ring driving. I'm sure I can do better than this hack.... will post vids after... lol.

That is unreal, the sound alone is worth playing the video.

Quick question though - according to the on screen timer, he does an 8:09 or thereabouts. Does that mean the R35 is a full forty seconds faster than this thing around the ring?! If so, wow.

Am i missing something?

You are indeed mate :) This is 8.09 of the Nordschleife and the GP circuit. All quoted ring figures are for the Nordschleife only. This thing takes around 1:20 to do the GP circuit, so you can do the maths!

Steve: More info on it... if you can read German. But my guess is a shlt load of power, bugger all weight, from the sound of it some serious winders, and one half decent steerer!

There's easily more time to be had in that lap.

Just kidding... but I think there was one corner he seemed to brake a smidge early and was a smidge late on the throttle.

Well compared to every other 50+ corners that are on the GP and Nordschleife circuit he was turning it in, and BAM on the throttle!!

That was just awesome!

I love how out the back of the Nordschliefe section after the forest there are a series of Esses. He takes them at 240km/hr!!!

Good to see the 301km/hr down the big straight.

Mental just mental.

When it looks fast on camera, it must be bloody terrifying sitting in the car. Would not like to be a passenger. But I'll drive it. :)

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

      Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.

      Nah, I definitely do that kind of stuff with my car. I do drive it around as a daily! It's just that mindset about building a car to actually still use/retain it's function as a car is rare. If you modify your car into a weekender, IMO you've ruined 5/7ths of the fun. It should remain fun to do daily errands in.
