The Club is by invitation only, for R33 GTR owners. Find me on FB and friend me, and I can add you to the Club. Unfortunately the first batch is already sold out but several other people are excited about this cover so we will have a second round, with same pricing (I hope) but maybe more options like different colors, etc.<br /><br />Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586596582322556131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-42583660506527378482021-10-12T18:09:26.571+09:002021-10-12T18:09:26.571+09:00Hey Aki,

I've been told you're working on a car cover for the R33 GTR, I was just wondering how i get my hands on one when they become available.<br /><br />Apparantly theres been a discussion about them on 'Club 33' on Facebok but i cant seem to find that page. <br /><br />CheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545330613817789176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-20968684410225436592021-10-06T22:58:36.458+09:002021-10-06T22:58:36.458+09:00Kadir, always good to hear from you, thanks!

The local Top Gear magazine tested my R34 and did the same. You would think an automobile magazine editor would know better, but no! Looking back at their older car review videos, the same happened to cars like the NSX they tested. Hopeless!マットnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-88339228047002964602021-09-05T05:19:12.861+09:002021-09-05T05:19:12.861+09:00Could do it with a two channel system if you want ...Could do it with a two channel system if you want it pointed over the shoulder, another option is the two camera in one system that Uber/Lyft drivers use to see their face + passengers in case anything happens. I recommend using a supercapacitor powered camera instead of a battery, the lithium-ion battery cameras don't live very long.<br /><br />I suspect the reason why Nakayama-san revved the engine is to try and get to the point where instead of the piston/rods loading the crank, the crank is loading the piston/rods. Audible transient bottom-end knock like that can be an early sign of trouble to pull the engine before you go from a relatively cheap rebuild to a complete engine replacement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-53603702722880569242021-09-04T21:26:56.366+09:002021-09-04T21:26:56.366+09:00Anon - good to know, and I honestly wasn't too...Anon - good to know, and I honestly wasn't too worried - as you say it happens sometimes.

Annoying but that's just life sometimes. What will really do damage on these engines is repeatedly bouncing off the limiter. The ECU has too little hysteresis and because it isn't drive by wire it can't smooth out the rev limiter by chopping the throttle and controlling the opening, so the engine repeatedly goes into full torque + power shock load on the oil pump gear, then it hits the rev limiter and suddenly unloads which creates gear lash that allows for the shock load to happen, then repeats again multiple times per second.
