Titanium Toe Eye

Titanium Tow Eyes to fit most cars. email ueda @ endless-r.co.jp for prices etc






Last race of the year!

Last race of the year, 今年最後のレースで・・・
The belt failed on the car as you may have previously read, so we changed the belt for the uprated ones, and went out again! パワステベルトが切れるという惨事に泣きつつも、

This is from the cars fitst ever outing, many people racing, some good rubber was layed down, and on a non prepped track, we got a 60ft of 1.471...then the belt broke..
男前な走りをしたのはいいのですが。。。。これは引きちぎれて交換したベルトです。


This, our first run of the day.....no other cars were racing, just 2 drag GTRs. So we have no rubber layed down and on a cold day, with track temp under 10degrees. With 1.7bar on the T88-38gk turbo, we could only manage a 1.743 60ft.....Sugino san said the Buddy club suspension we were using should not be used anymore, as just too dangerous at top speed, he then commented as he got into 3rd, and bogged down, the car tried to steer into the timing equipment which is located in the centre of the track!!! So a slight let off on the throttle, then straighten up, then back on still gave us a 9.719sec run @ 245kmh
この日は練習日だったので、エンドレスのR32をふくめ2台しか来ていませんでした!路面温度も低かったため、最初は様子見の1,7barで。
動画をupする予定ですので見ていただけるかと思うのですが、2速でかなり振られ壁に吸い込まれていきます!3速、4速・・とシフトアップしていってもハンドルが定まらない!あぶないですねー・・・・
Then when back in the pits, we made some adjustments to 4wd controller, and upped the boost to 2.0kgm. 4wd controller allowed us to post a 1.501 60ft time, which is respectable considering the conditions on the day, then buddy club suspension also caused us issues in this run, almost sending Sugino san into barrier. He said he slightly let off straightened her up, and powered through with a 9.437 @ 243kmh.....which he was happy with considering the run.
ちょっとセッティングをちょめちょめして、暴れるr32をなだめてなんとか9,437までもっていきました。
さぁ次は!といういいところで・・・

The we tried 2.3bar boost, it was around 1 hour between the last run, we just couldnt keep traction, and Sugino san let off and rolled through the line with a 9.9sec time....




And then a nice sunset, and roll on 2009.....where we have some new parts, and new equipment to test :)

飛行機雲と一緒のいい写真が撮れましたので♪来年も試したいパーツや装備が盛りだくさんです!!

GOOD NEWS

Today we had a delivery......Sugino san gave me the box to unrap, inside I saw the new incar camera holder :) this for you guys is not special.....but it means were taking the white R32 out this thursday for a private session at central circuit! I hope the rain holds off, so we can see what the car can do, Sugino san said, although the steering belt snapped in second gear, he said the way the car hooked up was faster then the 8sec R33 GTR we made. So the potential is there....
社長が「開けてみい」とくれた箱には、新しい車載カメラをロールバーに取り付けることのできる、アイツが入っていました。
3点可動式なのでどこにつけても、前方をしっかりとらえることができる優れものです♪
これで雨さえ降らなければ、木曜は全開走行できそうです。。。
And this photo, got a chance to talk with Kawakami san, and he showed me his new demo car, carbon interior for D1 street class....flip up system was what caught my eye!
ご近所のNKカンパニーさんのデモカー、カーボンダッシュボードとworksbelの跳ね上げ式ラフィックス、きれいですねー!

Some things you just cant plan for, and on the first run in second gear, Sugino san snapped the steering belt.......couldnt believe my luck......I didnt even see his run as I was too busy taking a piss and not doing my job!!.....sorry all....but there is another chance we will be out last week :)
最高の発進を決めたものの、2速でパワステベルトが切れ、それでもなお、大暴れをしながらコースを一直線に突っ切って行ったそうです!!・・・・というのも、、、寒くてトイレに行っていて見ていないのでした。
これが本日最後の社長の走りになるなど露も思わずに・・・・
決して予選だからいいか!なんて思ったわけではないのです。
