If it was the first time then that was because the plugs fowled from sitting round at idle so long in line,getting it ready at home etc.I was towed that time. I never forgot antilag, hence the 'black smoke' which is unburnt fuel. I have a a very similar video no doubt, so would a lot of ppl. Seems you have a poor sense of humour if it's the funniest thing you've ever seen, most ppl on here would be curious as to why it happened and then help fix it, you seem to be getting kicks out of trying to embarrass someone. Embarrassing it was, but I'm not embarrassed by it, it's all a learning curve

and still, absolutely nothing to do with running in an engine

Dont worry mate help was offered at the time it just seemed everyone was to busy rubbing into everyone that the car was a rh9 car, ask anyone id be the first person to offer help when it came to fixing someones car but when ppl stand around a being rude and arrogant it gives them a bad name...

Couldn't of been me then, I've never talked the car up. Everyone knows what it has done. I've always said it wasnt me driving and I don't know how to drive it. Youre not the first person who said they came in, personally I had no time for anyone combining wanting to be on track,fixing it and being frustrated with it.

I can only speak for myself, anyone else's actions are their own. It's usually the ppl that think they know me that talk up the car etc. Not my direct friends

From memory it was the guy on the laptop with you after you got back to the pits but all good either way...

Probably was me or my brother then. But we aren't what you described at all, the garage was a workshop, stress levels high. No doubt if I wasn't busy and someone had taken the time to introduce themselves I would of definitely had the time to talk. My brother is hard to talk at the best of times, let alone when stressed with 'people in his space'. If the car was running smoothly, would of had many convos on the day no doubt!so not really a good environment to be publicly judging someone on..

what the estimated start time pete, i have to work sat night, but miiight come down....

Start time is very different for each person, we had a lot of people turning up ~11am etc, you can turn up whenever you want but you'll just miss a few laps.. There's no competition or queuing or anything like that, so just turn up and have a bash around the track. It's kind of up to you whether you'll have enough time on track to justify the entry fee :)

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
