You'll get it I promise you. GoPro is charging now lol
Today was another long one, got the timing gun and tuner to the garage to fix the ignition timing. Wow, she became so quiet after playing with the ignition timing. She's idling great too now somewhere around 1k rpm vs the 2k rpm you saw in that previous video. The head sounds like it has aftermarket cams in it, it is definitely not stock, and I am definitely not complaining!
We then noticed the battery wasn't charging, everytime we disconnected the battery booster the engine would die. Replaced the alternator and BAM! Off I went. We locked the base map at 3k rpm to avoid boosting the car by mistake without a tune.
The R33 GTR clutch and accelerator pedals require a little getting used to, was quite a work out getting home, stalled the car a few times and made a nice fool of myself haha. I can't believe I've wasted 5 years of my life driving an auto, what a blast the MT is! This is the first sports car I've driven with an MT and what a pleasure it is. AT folks, you are SERIOUSLY missing out.
The gears are pretty long, I couldn't even hit the 3k rev limiter in 5th at 100 mph! And oh, my dashboard would like to wish the entire followers of this thread, a merry christmas

So I park the car, go to disconnect the GoPro off the rear bumper and what do you know, there was nothing there.
I drove back out and here's what I found:
RIP GoPro, you served me well for 3 years
