Nice vids Mark,,,but to tell you the truth I'm not really a Rotor fan. I love Nissans and Porsches,,,just could never afford to race either of them.

Roy,,,you smokin pot or what. Nothing makes the Alfa look slow. It's been at the front of sport sedans for 2 decades. Lots have come and gone but it's always been the front.

If you have a big budget there is a SR20det powered RX7 that is a screamer up for lease.

You obviously didnt see what the Peanut Slab Sierra did to the Aus Sports Sedan grid when it rocked up to events in Aus. Most notable was the Indycar support race years and years ago when it arrived a few days late due to rough seas and didnt qualify...so was forced to start from the back of the grid. It won the race. Carling had a problem with the car which meant he wasnt able to hold him off.

Ditto the Keith Carling 300ZX (Yellow) was a weapon and reports have it that Keith wasnt the worlds greatest steerer. Back in 92 the thing did a 2:13 at Bathurst! Its a record that still holds today.

If anyone decides to throw even a lil' (big) chunk of ca$h at a new motor, it'll be record-smashing galore with the '07 rule revisions.. . . . No more Multi-Valve equivalency rule !

That means 4-Valve heads on 6Litre Chevs, and 3.5Litre turbo/Supercharged 4-Valve motors.

KRIKEY ! Can anyone plonk-down the monnies for a 6L V12 Ferrari engine? Maybe splice 2 RB26DE's together?? :)

Seriously though - can someone gift Me $20k for a race-tuff 2JZ stroker with twin 400hp snails?? :P

Here it is Roy and yes awesome car. I learnt a lot from Phil Ryal who put it together. It had Renault F1 Turbo's with Inconell rear housings and made over 1200hp on engine dyno at 2.2 bar although ran around 800hp racing. Did a 40.9 Oran South and I think high 129 at Eastern Creek and 203mph down Conrod.

When did they start calling the class Super Sedan? Do you mean the Super TT Series run under AMRS? The series that the SAAB is running in is still referred to as Sports Sedans.

Dean Randle had a pretty good start to the season. Although a friend spotted Glen Seton testing the Baily 300ZX at Oran Park recently. So if Baily is getting assistance from Seton with setup, then no doubt the Phil Ryall built ZED will be having a very competitive year.

So many good cars in this years series, next round should be interesting. They really need to get this class back to racing with the V8s. Especially now that GTRs etc are eligibly. I know of a few GTRs that would actually be competitive in the series

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
