I was just emailed a bunch of photos from Michael who was the pro photograpther that was there with that massive lense positioned at start of the straight mainly. He has some unreal shots of GTR Jasons angry looking white R32 GTR on fire, in fact two great shots of this. These and many others will be for sale so can't post them here.

Zed even has time for a wave waiting for GTR's to catch up.

Those sample shots aren't too good for a "pro" photographer :Oops:

Oh, and it was like a tropical hurricane at my place, so I didn't brave the elements and head out to Oran on Sunday... Looks like I missed an eventful day!

I took a few photos... however, I had worked all night (7pm to 7am), and then went out to the track day, so I wasn't really in the best condition for taking good photographs, hence why all of them are pretty average.. :P The dark and cloudy weather conditions didn't help me. Oh well, better than nothing I suppose, and more importantly, you guys get them for free!

Email me if you want the full size photos.

My fav photo of the lot is:

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Yep lighting was not best especially from where Michael took lots of them sort of into the light from the sun. This one from behind is better light and nice drift Jason coming onto the straight.

Hey B-Man yes added a top one with girnie strip. It definitely helps keep the car stuck on the track over the flip flops where it used to be very light. Also carbon fibre front winglets to keep the front down also.

I am impressed Tomo call me.  I love the high shot looking back down the straight where GTR's part to make way for the Zed.

So what's with that Yellow GTR IN FRONT of you John?

No parting of ways there ;)

Yep nice thought yellow GTR out front it must have being lapped. Must have been very frustraing Duncan just running your motor in and watching and feeling the zed and other GTR's flyiiiiiing by? I know I rounded you up a few times at semed like twice your speed or more and did a big sideways slide just missing the wall coming onto the straight just in fornt of you for one of the flybys. Merli you missed a great day and early in the day as you can see from the pics a big line up of GTR's out on the track with the zed busting through. Also the pics I posted were lower res so easier to download, I received a CD today and some realy clear nice shots.

Sep 25 next one at Oran and there has been heaps on interest so should have a great line up of cars, better weather and Duncan might have his yellow thing run in by then?? GTR V Zed challenge will be on. I will have my new twin brake master cylinders changed to smaller ones so they will work and not run off the end of straight as I did this twice. I also had to brake heaps earlier than normal. I might get a good lap time though with less slow GTR's in the way. Might even get some new slicks instead of the second hand ones I use which are about a second off the pace of new ones according to John Web, Porsche Race Driver, who I get them from. Otherwise some semi slicks to shut everyone up.

GTR Jason get your fire bomb fixed and ready hey? Beer Barron put your beer down and have a go you must be keen after experiencing that lot from the side line on Sunday. Got the gear use it and be part of the feeling. Alright I will give you a head start.

By the way those wondering who was the mad driver in the tan coloured old 323 with carby and drum brakes and auto, it was one of our Mechanics Mat who rides some mean bikes and he tired his best to scrape the door handles.

Ha Ha your a funny bugger John. Kel's car is as stock as it's class of RACING allows.

I think you should be more worried if I let Duncan drive my car,,,We would all start calling your barge the Titanic.

But seriously Have you ever thought of actually converting it to a Sports Sedan,,,,you are already 1/2 of the way there.

Neil.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
