epic, cant wait for that dvd, how many decent power cars where there?

yea there was quite a few decent powered cars out there

=)

was it one o the 5 cars that drove home?

nop, broke a rear shaft near the end of the 2 days

=)

Nope, but it did back to back runs for the 2 days...the stock rear shafts reached their limit.

=)

LOL Pete! Plenty died after 1 run, some lasted two :D

Was good to see this car in person. Gearchanges were just silly, that alone is worth 20k!

Needs some work round the launches to get outta the hole better and it'll be ridiculously fast!

Even i was a casualty on my last run, but it was expected :D

a bit more seat time should do the trick =)

This thing between gears was just crazy.

Fkn LOVE it.

=)

It failed to run a 10.

and broke a front diff :angry:

Hmmm i think everyone had problems i guess thats the game you want to go fast well things will always break.

It was a real good event held by Andrew love to see more of it through the year.

The powertune R34 Gtr was amazing to watch - good work guys and the owner of course

Yeah busted front diff, well and truly fked :D

Anthony you need more RPM on launch. From what i could see it was just a matter of bogging down really. Bit of wheelspin to get the front wheels pulling and you'll be set ;)

i think i needed less rpm because i was still wheel spinning

More RPM! hehe. A little wheelspin in a GTR gets the fronts get in on the act unless you are forcing it via a controller?

From the outside it certainly wasn't turning the tyres much at all, it should move the fist 5m quickly as if it was about to go cut-cat style but then bog a bit. That was when it was dry though i mean.

When it was wet on both says there was lots of spin - but then everyone had the same issue :D

Brakes? :blink:

Why weren't you using antilag @ Motive like in the other vids?

I saw another vid of the car the other day on youtube where it was definately running A/L, or was it Nitrous? :merli:

Yeah, we noticed - and thoroughly enjoyed it ;)

lol =)

that launch in the motive shortclip i was using antilag. its been shortened thats why u miss out on hearing the exhaust popping. eventually i would like to try use nitrous on a bigger turbo.

=)

Bakes, as in cooks them. Silly Ash :P

lol =)

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
