So Martin where is this track? Can I bring big bird for a run onit? Ha

Aw man if I saw this post in time yeah you could have run.

Had a good and bad day with the car though

Was getting used to driving it then played with tyre pressures and got that sorted then dad had a drive and I jumped in straight after and was having a real go at it when I noticed smoke from under the bonnet then lots of lames from oil fire

Stupid bonnet clips meant we took about 30 seconds not 5 to get bonnet undone and put fire out

Burnt some wiring and coil lead and overflow bottle as well as the bonnet itself.

All because of the stupid plastic line for the oil pressure gauge which got hot and melted spraying oil everywhere

Still can all be fixed, at least it happened on a Test day and not the first event.

    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
    • Sequential Is fine to drive on the street
    • Well that is not a sign of good quality..  Understand, but not so nice to drive on the street I suppose and out of my price range..
    • I recently got myself a 1989 r32 GT-R and it has some slight smokiness from the exhaust and misfires sometimes when coming off the throttle. I'm looking for a good mechanic in the Brisbane region who will do a good job on it. It'll need a diagnosis, and most likely an engine rebuild with refurb/stock parts (not looking for a motorsport build... yet). If anyone has done something like this before/knows stuff about this in terms of who can do it and how much it cost, I'd like to hear about it. I was looking on the forum and I found some posts from 2020 that were similar to this, but it has been a while since then so if anyone has any updated info that would be great.  I'm also new to the forum so if this topic should be in a different place please let me know. Thanks in advance!  
    • Stretching my memory now but about 10,000kms. After that I had a hissy fit. In went in a OS88 sequential then a PPG sequential. The extra gear is a game changer.
