Did he honestly mean to do it? Not saying that he didn't, but he did come to basically a complete stop at turn 2 to let you past on your flyer.

Was he on a flying lap as well? I assume not because that line into the hairpin wouldn't really work would it..?

And as said above, at least he apologized! Bad sportsmanship if he didn't, it just goes to show how competitive it actually has gotten!

Here is a small article from www.Speedcafe.com

See a little controversy goes a long way!!!

cheers dave

i like this line "In the Open Class, Sydney Evo driver Nik Kalis was the clear winner with a 1:34.82 ahead of John Boston in a Nissan 300ZX."

what the hell? lol. John Boston in the 300ZX was 3rd last (15th) in pro in the 300ZX and was 4th in open in the S2000. ahh I just realised what happened. they must have counted the 300ZX time in open instead of pro where it would be good enough for 2nd. funny.

lol, he broke his box hence being practically parked at T2 when glenney came past on his second flyer.... he was on his warm up when glenney was on his flyer. he should have buttoned right off and let glenney past out of T5, but when glenney was up his date around T8 (having been behind him for 3 corners already) and he finally decided he'd let him past it was too late as glenney was already going around the outside to get past him on the right going into T9 so when he moved right he ended up blocking glenney again. by that point he was about to get on it for the start of his flyer (and by now probably didn't want glenney past him since glenney would be getting off it somewhere after T1 where Dave would now be on his flyer) and simultaneously glenney realised that having been held up in 4 corners now meant his lap was screwed so just backed off to get some space and try again.

it was just a bit awkward more than anything else but really he should have just buttoned right off it somewhere around T5/T6 and let glenney go and then got himself set for his own flyer.

That was a lot worse than the RX7. He would have seen you coming from T5 as Baron said. He had ample time and opportunity to move across.... which he did..... right into your line! It almost looks deliberate which makes it even worse and completely justifies Glenney's and the I imagine the team's anger.

I will say this. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not (and we have no idea really) glenney showed what a pro he is not to lose his shit. I imagine it would have been sorely tempting to get right up his ass or even pass him out of 9 and give him the "wtf" gesture etc but that would have just compromised his next lap too. He took a deep breath (and probably let a few "fcks" loose), backed off for some room and got back to work. Sadly we don't always see that level of control on the international stage (FIA GT anyone?) well done glenney.

Thought I'd let you know that your car is getting a bit of exposure in a few of the popular Japanese Auto publications (Option,Option2 , Rev Speed) and on DVD here in Japan.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
