Yeah was the interclub supersprint (Im with the southern sporting, and its with the wrx, hsv, alfa clubs too)

Yeah im pretty happy with it! Ive only owned the car for 5 days!

When I get used to it, yeah times will drop! :P

Was a good day today Chris.

I managed to destroy an engine after lunch. Didnt spin bearings this time but instead melted a piston just for something different. Looking like an injector problem.

Its all out and stripped now will get a new set of pistons tommorrow and throw it back together ready for wakefield.

Looking at the times from today Greg and I both did our quickest time during our little race in the 3rd session lap 10. Which is kinda annoying as my car had more in it once the tires and brakes were settled. We needed one more flying lap per session.

Im very impressed with how reliable Gregs car is when he's not getting the mud out of the guards at EC.

He had a great battle with an Evo in the last session! .............and of course came out in front

Ahh see I was lucky enough to learn racing in a car where braking was optional.....it really changes how you think about braking. It will definately teach you how to make the most of what you have available.

Sorry to hear brad....better get it fixed and back out there! Serve you right for having too much power tho. And c'mon you both got beaten by a filthy cheater evo, and the commodore ahead of you both better be an ex super-taxi. It funny how all the alfas come last, goes to show how far club cars have come in the last 15 years.

Yeah Warren can steer that EVO. That comodore is actually an old VH!!

Mine was making stuff all power. It was running 1.1 bar all morning.

I was planning to use the engine properly in the afternoon sessions but it didnt happen. It would have been around 150Kw or so short of its potential in the morning. and undeersteering like a bitch. (you know the problem I have with that atm)

It'll be fixed by next weekend Duncan. Its all out and stripped in the garage now.

The 15 has always been reliable. Mainly because its very very basic, virtually stock with a big turbo. He keeps the revs low and it lasts.

Ouch Brad, thats no good :)

Sorry to hear mate, as I was heading out for session 4 or 5 I saw you were packing up, came back and you guys had gone.

Next round is OP south yeah?

Holy shit brad! i got an n1 block/crank if you need one its been machined tho, can talk about it if you want.

i wont be bringing mine over anytime soon now. Gabby's given me 3-4 weeks till i have it back. i might do something about cams now..

What do you think would be ideal in the way of cams?

i already have bought, Supertech springs/titanium retainers, supertech valve guides,

i would like to go a fairly big lift. 10mm-11mm but want the easiest and best option without spending money on buckets or whatever is needed with larger cams.

Mick, when did you get the 34??

i can vouch for the little MX5, great little car and looks great out on the track thru the corners.

Yeah sorry to hear you had engine issues Brad and had to call it a day early! Congrats on some bloody quick times to you n Greg... you guys times are my bench mark... but was happy with my 1st outing in the silvia. Already planning the shopping list to beat the 1:22 from Sunday!!

Ando your car looked great going round and round :banana:

The blue and black works well together!

wtf ... u were there??? Where?? When?? Why?? LOL\

Yes it did go round n round n round... still waiting for any pics from the day :)

Thanks Ando. It should have been significantly quicker according to the AIM data logger but we didnt really get to have a good go at it. There's always next time though.

Are you coming down to wakefield with us in two weeks??

I bought the DVD from our photographer. If you didnt I can get Jess to email any good ones to you.

Sheesh so what sort of times 'should' you be punching out at GP? 1:15's?? Thats stoopidly quick...

Mate i would love too but i think i am going to save the money and go for the Bozman driver training day in May... Jess was saying its worth while since i have never had an official 'training' at all... just get out and give it go so far... but i cant even heal-toe.. lol... so im sure a full day with some training would do me a world of good!!

Of course i was there :banana:

Spent most of the day at turn 12 watching people oversteer :D

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
