Le mans 2012!!!
as per the last two years this years Le Mans 24Hr was absolutely awesome!
Got a few sweet pics of my car taken on the way to / at / and on the way home from Le mans!
On the way
Camped at Houx Annexe
On way back
Weekender update
Went to the weekender...
Took it on track which was bloody awesome and the car felt great until on my 6th lap some thing went CLUNK and I lost all drive
After a 6:30hr recovery it was home
Then today we got the gearbox off
And it turns out it's shagged. No matter what gear it's in when the input shaft is turned the prop doesn't.
So it's like this until I source a new one!
Bad times with the gearbox, photo's look good though, looks well on the move!!
That's one great looking recovery truck
I'll swap my gearbox for your engine
1998 Nissan 200sx s14a , 2000 std 5 speed with nismo supercoppermix clutch bn6 Sapphire Blue
Fixed now! So glad to have it back on the road!
Update
Fitted mikalor clamps to the intercooler to replace the jubilee clips
Put a new seal on my Greddy oil cooler sandwich plate, (57mm x 4mm) has reduced the leakage but not fully stopped it
Picked up a few upgrades for thr Z32 rear set up - grooved disks and EBC yellow stuff pads
And finally managed to get hold of A'pexi PFC hand commander, this makes putting my 740s and Z32maf on so much easier!
Update
New bucket seat!
Decided the sparco circuit VTR was just too much for road use and really was only suitable for track work so replaced it with a brand new Driftworks Imola pro that I got for a steal.
Fitted it in last night
Entering and alighting the vehicle is no longer a mammoth task! and it looks a hell of a lot better as the sparco was really worn out. I might get one for the passenger side but there are plenty of much more important things to spend the money on at the moment!
What have you done to your clocks to get that look?

One of my exhaust hangers managed to pull out of my back box so took it off and welded it back up over the weekend, only got this useless picture of it all fitted back on but it looks nice so
sounds a lot better than it has for a long time now!
Update
I fitted my tomei poncams yesterday which means the 380bhp+ build is underway!
They sound bloody awesome, just on the standard map at the moment so I've turned the boost down to 0.7Bar from 1.0Bar and the car feels just as quick as it did without them
Just need to get my PFC working (car will crank on it but not fire) then can get my injectors in, Z32 maf on and finally the turbo on!
Update
Few pics of todays antics
Fitted my RAS kit (should have done this when I fit the cams the other weekend! ), Tomei poncams can also be seen.
Just need to notch the rocker cover to get it back on!
Also fitted my apex performance air filter heat shield
Update
Fitted my Z32 AFM and stainless inlet trunk, it's pretty tight for space with the hotside piping and the oil catch tank lines!
Fired it up and it runs fine, just need 30mins so I can do the idle self learn on the A'pexi PFC.
Update
Got my vertex copy front bumper (aerokit) fitted up today (very good fit), it fits really well with the lines of the INGS skirts, I think they suit the vertex kit better the vertex sides.
Obviously it looks a little garish being white but looks better in real life, I've got the indicators for it too but I need to move my oil cooler before they can be fitted.
Update
Well it's finally happened i've fitted the GT2871R!!
So here is the beast of a setup to go on
Obligatory empty turbo area shot
Old vs New
Then fitted!
Went really easily actually with no real problems at all.
Also offered up my downpipe that me and a mate welded a flexi into and it lines up great sits a little closer to the chassis too
Just need to put some more coolant in, finish welding the downpipe and then can fire it up!
this car really was missing a different front bumper! great choice dude, it will look awsome when painted!
