ummmm I don't know what to say except...

YEAH BABY! now we are talking.

I assuming it's built for aus sports sedan series? looks good. what look like penske shocks, and obviously the full tube chassis and mid mounted engine are hard to miss! is it going to be running a 4 or 6 when done? bit hard to tell from the pic but I'm guessing an RB of some kind? maybe 26/30?

Yes it is for the National Aus Sports Sedan Series and will hopefully be completed by the end of this year.

Motor will be the RB25 that is currently being run in my DR30 with a much wilder tune than current. Using the RB25 due the multiplier factors to work out final capacity as we think the weight should come in at 950-990 kg with driver. Yes they are Penskes all round.

All I can say is I dont think I will ever ever take on a project like this again but it is so far past the point of no return that we just keep on going.

Car has been designed and built with only one purpose and that is to hopefully beat Tony Ricciardello in his Alfa Chev. A very big ask but we are going to try very hard.

well good luck, it looks awesome.

tony will be tough to beat as he has been campainging that car for so many years now he has it set-up pretty well. but I've no doubt you will have a damn good shot. It looks like an awesome package to me. who desinged the car?

I was doing some laps at a practice day at oran park gp a month or so back and Kerry Baily was there with his Z with glenn seton doing the driving. had a good close look at his car and it is very impressive. pretty sure phil ryall built that car.

well good luck, it looks awesome.

masterstroke of understatement there richo.. :bunny:

Maitland Performance Fabrications designed and built the space frame, hubs and cage. Fantastic workmanship and attention to detail but boy do you pay.

Under no illusions that Tony will be easy to beat...close to 30 years of car development and history have gone into his current car as far as I am aware. We are concentrating every part of our efforts on achieving maximum driveability and power down characteristics because if there is one thing to see in the Alfa Chev it does not matter if he is on or off racing line the car just squats and goes, however having raced against him in different classes his car is not quick at just before corner apex and just after...it is when it straightens up that it puts every bit of power to the ground.

Thanks for the comments...the photos don't really do the car justice.

Chhers

yep, it certainly looks top shelf.

no doubt tony's car has awesome drive out of corners I tend to agree too that mid corner may be where it falls down a bit. well I hope it comes of well, and keep on truckin! I can imagine the time and money into so far must be hard to take, but it will be awesome on track.

LOL...i have been so waiting for you to ante up and post pics of your car. Its so different and so waaaay cool! The turbo is bigger then my diff! :rolleyes:

LOL, we shoudl have done Dutton in it. We woudl have flogged all comers in the standign 1/2 mile :D

...oh and it has to be said. "Last of the V8s max...sux nitrous" Only it doesnt suck nitrous so will never replace Max's Interceptor

Quick peek at the deathtrap I've been building up for the past few years. Do you think I can run it in Improved Production? I have a CAMS license now.

..

...

what...the...HELL..is that that that...monstrosity..?

and more importantly, what lunatic approved your CAMS license?

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
