Pictures From Super Gt


Recommended Posts

Thanks, glad you like the shots. The grid shot with the race queens is one of my favorites. Funny thing is I had an old Japanese guy pulling me back from my rucksack while taking that picture. I hate covering such events as much as I love them as you always have some jobs-worth know it all giving you sh1t because you are in the wrong place at the wrong time according to the "rules". Thats probably the thing that really bugs me the most about this line of work, being treated like a clueless child by worthless people that have as much authority and status as extras on film sets! Anyway rant over! Looking forward to shooting at Fuji next w-e.

haha, the shot is still excellent. I remember plenty of pushing and shoving at tokyo autosalon on press day... though it was even worse on the other days.

I just saw your article on the Saurus 32 GTR. Wow. it was probably my favourite car at this years TAS. looked so tough. and a great, different colour choice. I love how everything on it looks so neat and simple. nothing is over done. awesome car.

u mean Fuji san? ill be there this weekend with a bunch of gaijin climbing at 10pm saturday night to catch the sun rise sunday morning ;)

awesome shots mate. I'll be going to the next round at fujispeedway, if your not spending all day snapping away then wanna hook up? and if your busy afterwards I know a wicked touge right next to the speedway were we can have some fun. i drive an evo and would LOVE a ride in a 34.

You see many foregin drivers in the teams.

Are they just to bring in the crowds?

Any up and coming japanese star drivers?

it's the other way around i've been told. they bring in overseas drivers to win racers, but the Japanese drivers inspire the fans. :) (not knocking their skill either though)

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
