on that note I'm thinking about going to Suzuka this year.

Anyone been there?

Me and a mate are down for Japanese GP this year. Can only really afford 14 days so gives me about 10 days plus the GP to see Japan and perhaps buy a bucket o shit R31 for some track work at either Suzuka, Fuji or some other track

cool i'll see how i go, i'm still in the maybe stage because of school which finishes for me two weeks before the race and i'd kinda like to get started on the job hunting which doesn't look very promising at this stage. :unsure:

Can only afford 2 weeks, a GP, a car and a track day?

Poor Bris :(

...its all about priorities. I own nothing but two cars...and am single. Its pretty easy to spend your money on holidays when you don't have a Mrs busting your balls about sensible things like saving for a house....wedding rings...kids etc Not having a mortgage and having cheap monthly rent means this 36yr old is trying to live the life I wanted when 21 :)

Not bad a trip for me down to Melbourne.

Fangio stand was as expected. But its Australia, you aren't going to see much anyways.

Might make next year the last Aus one I go to just cause of the new stuff.

An offer to go to Singapore in september is very tempting at the moment! Just for the 3 days. In and out.

KIMI FTW! Wore my "I know what i'm doing" shirt with pride!

i want one of those shirts so bad..

With the Korean and Japanese Grand Prix being run on consecutive weekends and Korean being first you could fly into Tokyo get a flight to Korea for under $100 do the KGP for the weekend , fly back to Japan ,sight see , party ,buy shit box and do the Japan Grand Prix all in just over 1 week.

Warning, Japanese GP is as boring as shit when it comes to atmosphere. I can hook you up with a Japanese mate's club in Roppongi where lots of the GP drivers go after race night but be warned, if your a naughty boy there there's a good chance you'll end up as sashimi, behave and you'll have a wow of a time as it gets packed with foreign and Japanese models.

LOL SASHIMI.

I bought the "I know what I am doing shirt" and the "Yes, yes, yes..." shirts. I grabbed a few for friends that I knew woudl like them and one was wearing his on teh weekend and he tells me lots of people were asking about them :)

LOL, I got massively err, drunk in Paris two weeks ago and lost my Kimi beanie in a pub...annoyed ! :)

If I could afford a hat, Id take it off to you.

Webber will bag a pole and win this weekend. He is long overdue for a win in Malaysia where he has always had pace equal to or better than Seb. Either way its his last Malaysian GP in an Red Bull so he better pull out all stops here and Japan.

you're setting yourself up for dissapointment!

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
