looks like he got brake fade and then started the panic routing... "pumping"... plenty of time to keep the pedal to the floor and hit the handbraker, clutch and shot in a low gear... he had about 3 sec or so... you'd be suprised how long that would feel like in his situation, knowing what its' like flying off the bike... scary as feck and can just hope that my spinal cord reactions will be different from the guy there.

handbraker? Engine braking? Shooting the engine? man the list is endless on how he could have slowed that speed down before hitting the corner... is there any inside photage of that crash?

VVTI kicked in yo! find it weird too must have got the accelerator peddle stuck and lost brakes... Agreed on complaining, the marshals on the once I go to seem to be pretty good but they don't nail down on everything... find it hard to understand the non existant tutoring going on when new people enter track. Had issues the last time with easy things like people moving to the right when you are about 4 times quicker then that car... that people took the inner line and just nicely squeezed you out of your line almost forcing you off the track... like wtf... some of the lads (and women) on the track need to stick their L stickers on! mmm makes me think of it I think I'll stick a memo off to the lads arranging the trackdays

Dont update to 2.2 if you got O2 someone on here bricked theirs last night...

what oil is it your using at the moment? Develope tapping after a while when oil has been in the engine for a while, find the redline a bit louder then other oils I've tried, currently running motul 5-30 fully synth in her and she's running great

Stopped using snipe and started bidding more Been nailing a few people trying to snipe too. For instance, if a value of good is set at 10£ and you decide to snipe at 12.50 when it's 5 seconds left of the auction. If I've then a total bid of 200£ (has the 10£ bid) I'll automatically will pay 13£ and you won't have the time to snipe again... sniping isn't always a good thing...

my one I think can do the alarm whne turned off, will try it now.... mine is a unbranded one not owned by some company... might be different. Latest update makes battery life better much better. i turn off all automatic syncs like weather, mail, fb, tweet, etc etc etc... and manually sync when I need to read stuff. Also make sure the display is set to "automatic" to save more power

Exactly why I prefer to stick to Hot Marques at Knockhill...minimum value of £15k on the cars- then again that doesn't guarantee driver skill levels they let me on! mostly no brainers don't afford such cars and you'll be fine or so we hope, some peopel with deep pockets are just as bad... some of this is down to the structure of the trackday and who is looking after it, sometimes hits me how little training and guideance some people get on a trackday...

Hmmmmmm you lads forget that there are other drivers on track... no matter how 'safe' you think you drive they can still hit you! Some crazy mad people on track... in 500 euro cars... would be nicer if they tried to make different groups on that....

Was thinking on getting a cage for mine that can partly be taken out when not used. I could always use the bike gear in the car! Lol...

N Started there prices a bit screwed though...

lol, remember to get it fitted by approved Magnaflow place so you get LIFETIME WARRANTY on the system INCLUSIVE of baffles... my baffles are nicely burnt out now so going back to my place to see what they can do for me

Will do, Steady Zeddy has a kazz and it's not making any noise... (That I could hear anyway) think it's a 1.5 way though not sure re 80% lock either (sounds pretty high)

Want some of these?

The NISMO is a direct drop in replacement for a base (non LSD) car with manual transmission. Quaife is nice, I use one now myself, but less than ideal if track use is the primary motive (especially on r compounds), as the Quaife only works with both wheels on the ground. The problem is, Z's tend to lift the inside drive wheel and when that happens, you are back to having an open diff. The clutch type, like a NISMO, affords you adjustability in terms of lockup %, and it always works, no matter what. Downside is they are not quite as kind at very low speeds on the road (ie, 3 point turns, or pulling into or out of a parking spot). Alot can be mitigated by different fluids, but it will do it to some degree. The real upside of the NISMO is it's cheaper than the Quaife, and comes with the bearings, seals and hardware you will need as well as fluid. Quaife comes with nothing, and will require additional $$ for extra parts. A proper diff cooler setup is going to run you way more than the diff itself, by the time you factor in the pump, lines, etc. Again unless you have an honest to god race car, it's tremendously overkill and not at all required We stock both btw, so whichever you need, feel free to let us know Not sure where I got the thinking that you'd need a VLSD to install a Nismo LSD Read,heard,told... Anyway with you stating noisy and did hear it wears down the clutch/flywheel setup faster too (again not sure about how accurate that is) and that I want to take the Z on the track occasionally not every weekend. Id be hoping to use it in town without to much noise and hassle. Nismo cheaper then Quaife? <<< How much can you sell either for? Quaife comes with nothing, and will require additional $$ for extra parts. Having read a few DIY's online I didn't think you needed any additonal part list, what in your mind would one need? Those DIY's are a bit on the 'spanner, beer & throw it in' way so think I'd just take the diff out and take it to my mech and let him do the swap... was hoping to do it myself but don't want to wreck anything. So you think It's overboard to go for a diff cooler setup? Seen that they can be gotten for 900$ odd all in, still researching that though. Thanks for the input mate

thats they way I put mine back mate (only need to push it in to the right hand side a bit more)

I'll take this too please

I'll take that!

just a tad 7hours driving... could wait a few Think I actually rather go south to mainland europe for a ring trip or something,then again a bit known to do silly things

I'd love to

I would be there if I was in the UK mate, deepest condolences to family and friends

congrats aufla

i just got a spacer for the oil sump. ANd how hot does it get? dont know how hot but that needle next to the fuel gauge stays put where it should be...regardless of the laps on the track cant see why anybody would need to make any changes anyway just for the odd track day that is not good mate... driving in darkness like myself... seeing how hot the other Z got on track I got pretty worried about just how hot my engine oil must have been running (doing plenty more laps per session), also that the gearbox started to say no no (going 3rd to 2nd) after 8ish brisk laps...
