Apparently had some oil on the manifold and caught fire. Problem is officials sprayed foam all over it to put out which is a pain cause that stuff is messy. I don't have any more details yet why oil was there or what happened. They are trying to clean it off for the next session so nothing major.

Congrats to Mark and Mercury for the sub 1.35 time. Anything quicker is a bonus.

Cheers

UPDATE - GT Auto R35 wasn't an oil fire. It was the Fuel Pressure Gauge failed and leaked fuel on the manifold which caught on fire. GT Auto are working hard to clean all the foam up and it will be back out tomorrow as there is no other damage.

Mark / Mercury R35 apparently has had a gearbox problem and loaded on a trailer already. Maybe someone can let us know if they are taking it to a workshop somewhere for repair?

i see no claws, it begins again tomorrow when both cars belt around the track again, dont forget neither car has had substantual testing so issues are bound to arise with both cars, They have both done very well to make it to Eastern Creek and post fast times. Bring on tomorrow

Also R35's are 1st and 2nd in the clubsprint class ( standardish car on street tyres), ahead of a group of seasoned Evo drivers.

Marek pulled out a 1:42 in the afternoon to grab 1st place.

Mareks car is not far off standard. Mid-pipe, E85 Willall tune (injectors and fuel pump) and some uprated shocks/springs. That's about it. It would be difficult to find many other cars with LESS mods in the class, put it that way.

Anyway this thread is about Marks car, it was great to see it running around out there yesterday and today, well done guys, absolutely fantasic.

was very good to see it in the flesh! no offence intended. but do they make 19's or 20's with rubber available? just looks like the wheels need to be bigger for the bodywork..

No 19 or 20" semis that will do those times, no.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
