So what car(s) are we looking for Duncan when Roy comes over to watch the video I taped.

I remember now the Beemer killer was a brunette.

Hint: It's listed under her name :Oops:

"The faster you are going the less time there is to concentrate on actually learning to drive."

I agree totally with this. I learned more about the track in two slow laps in the rain than the whole 200k I did in the dry at full pace.

Snowman / Roy - If we were to get anything going with the Dutton we would need to make moves (decisions) in that direction very quickly. Money to spend on the car is my problem and a small sponsor would help. I can come up with entrace fee, but would like to spend more on car to become competitive with the R34 and others. But at the end of the day I would be there for sure.

Christ, did someone actually get one of those understeering, too short, breathless barges to go well enough to enter an event?

I hear europe got a suspension package that fixed the handling, but I hated the local hatch I drove. BTW I realise they call them a coupe, but it's a 3 door hatch OK.

Anyway well done Kel. We'll be taking a long hard look.

I also understand Kero (Fats brother) has a cd copy now after some thread searching. Mine is also welcome to be borrowed but is taped at 1/4 speed so you may need my video which is a permanent wife accessory for lifestyle programs.

BTW - Roy - what happened with you and Chris and the Dutton? Or is that to be discussed based upon results of your R32?

Its a possibility, but its a little too late to get sponsors, i could get my hands on enough money to do the event, but would have to pull out of a commitment i have already mate to a crew with a team for the BP Rally the same wekend.

I think it may be best to wait fot he PIARC day later that month, may even have some new brakes to be sure not to fall off the island. :Oops:

Oops sorry Kel posting the *slight* off pic. Didn't mean to put that one up.

That's okay, you'll also see me killing a witches hat in the Speedweek coverage :Oops:

For the record though, that pic is of my co-driver Dan.

Not sure how useful we'll be but happy to let anyone entered in the Vic Dutton pick our brains (well, maybe I need to revise that reference since Fatz was on the team!).

My main tip- if you're not going to win, do something spectacular!

Chrisman...LOL...welcome to SAU :)

Id like a few photos for my own archive, but for hopefully obvious reasons i hope you appreciate why id rather not have pictures of the car on a public forum... :(

Kel, what punishment was there for Majanal emulating Fatz in the 350Z? I think you should have taken his beer rations away from him :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      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
