My car is alright, ran out of tyre grip approaching turn 1, locked up, released, locked up again, released, locked up again... just went straight off the track into the kitty litter at about 120.

Tell you what, that wall comes at you mighty quickly... Ripped off the bottom of the front bar, cooler piping, bent the body metal where the cooler piping hole is, ripped a rubber joiner in half. Don't want to start the car since there's like a kg of sand and gravel in the piping... trailered it home and its now sitting on the street out the front of my house, now I need to work how how to get it 20m up my driveway into the garage. I'm thinking just AFM directly onto the crossover pipe so it'll run.

Went out with some of the guys tonight for dinner and drinks, 54 Jack and Cokes later I'm home.

bahahaha, probably went a little over zealous thinking it was only one parade lap - got a bit out of shape into 3rd gear wheel speed must of shot up to 150km/h + easy and touched the grass nek minit in a spin, too much iracing not enough real racing

serves me right for f**king around a bit - got some stern looks from the officials down pitt straight

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
