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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
