I was...now i am only a small chance. Combination if nobody else interested as was only going to be and one mate plus a 3rd who would be working. Also the hiccup is i am going to Monoco so trying to save some cash and hoping to do Le Mans next year. Will see how the year pans out but may do Fuji

  • 1 month later...

I am just a prick. I dont like how the Sky F1 commentators are so one eyed and Ant always calls rubbish to support any English driver. I wouldnt have been able to watch any of the remainder F1 coverage as I would have had to listen to LeMans winner Ant yadda yadda.

There was a funny moment mid-late Le Mans when a commentator rightly gave Ant a compliment and then the other English commentator starting BSing on about how clearly he was the fastest driver in the car. The other commentator pulled the guy up and stated "that they all equally do a great job, one is no faster, better than the other" . But minutes later he again said Ant was clearly the fastest Toyota driver only for the other commentator to pull him up and say on speed along Kobi had proven to be the quickest over the week. Its just an English commentator thing as a rule. Buemi is a gun and he never gets a mention by them.

I am just over the English love in, just as much as I am over "Australia's Mark Webber"..."Oz's Danny Ric" etc etc. LOL, I am a miserable bastard at the moment

wow - many feels for you too Roy.

They are just commentators mate don't take it too hard

Then again everyone has their 'off days' some longer than others, but then again the English have always been smug when it comes to sport.

I'm struggling to work out why any Nissan heads would feel sorry for Toyota.

Nissan absolutely dominated as an Engine supplier,,, suck on that Toyota,,,.

Still to this day the Rotor company is the only Jap Company to win outright.

I'm not into Karma but it bit them sweetly on the arse when their arrogant shithead last driver flashed the Audi car an hour and a half out. He wasn't warning them he was coming, he was saying "sucked in we are going to win and you are shit" Even the bias pommy comentators said as much.

Cheers

Neil.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
