I was going to jump in on the second cruise session and you pulled out just as I got down the stairs lol

You didn't reply or call I'm coming now!

Next time bro!

Not a bad event, just needs more timed sessions in between.

Managed 224km/h down the mainstraight, could have went faster but I'm no Max Verstappen going into turn 1.

Was a great experience feeling the mechanical grip of the car and the Hankook RS-4. For a "street" tyre they sure damn grip. 

Some data from Race Chrono

Nice to meet you and thanks for the ride! Also, holy shit you don't hold back.

Full approval for the rolling anti-lag button. Even Jen mentioned the flames.

Will try and get some footage next time. Your car looks and sounds great flying down the straight in the time attack run. Don't replace it with an M3. It would have nothing on this.

And yes, I agree that more timed sessions would be great. Will try those next time. I completely missed the first one and was amazed how empty it was for the second one. Also none of the numpties on the track for those.

Just Send It lol...

Now you can understand why I constantly break things lol..

Definitely great putting the face to the name!

I was surprised there were like only like 5 or 6 cars during the times sessions. I didn't pick up my transponder (wasn't told where) hence I just used Race Chrono instead.

Haha.. M3 would have done the entire event with 1x tank of fuel. I smashed 1.5 tanks yesterday lol.

Haha I was actually thinking that. Feels good though.

 

Transponders were in the briefing room on the table. Just next to the passenger sign on.

Sure, and also could have played classical music and have the baby sleeping in the back. Kind of.

All good, it happens. I’m hoping next event mine runs, I’m just not holding my breath

It's nearly done, what you talking about? A few more nuts and bolts and you're ready lol.

Dose video and trying to break traction in a car setup for grip.

Had one person ask how on earth I had all this grip.

(I'm the car being recorded for anyone wondering lol).

Seems so civilised! The second clip that is. Is that the part of the footage your wife gets to see?

By the way, how did you attach the gopro in the car? The angle works really well.

haha she saw it, she's glad the car didn't come home on a tilt tray LOL.

I'll cut up the hoon clips in a bit, it's kind of boring as you don't get the out of car perspective.

It's suction cupped onto the interior dome light lens LOL

Did you log any data? How was your oil pressure? 

Funny enough I did not log any data, ironically I even have a datalog button too!

There is a minimum oil pressure requirement of 2 bar past 3k rpm.

No dash lights, no power cut so must have been fine lol.

Keeping up my (on average) monthly donation to the car industry and Nissan.

Should stop my engine bay being sprayed with oil (turns out my oil cap was missing a seal lol). Also the reverse switch should fix my reverse lights flickering off and on when I engage reverse.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
