He had it there on the weekend - the red one that is.

LOL JFK and I had a discussion about how V motors are gonna rule all when he finishes his new GTO and I finish the Z32 :D

Extra torque for the win :P

Didnt an R35 do ok?

I think the guy on the tiller was driving somewhere else. He didnt seem to be at Phillip island despite the car going around the track :D

v motors won nothing on the weekend. every class was won by an rb26, or a straight 4 :D

Has to be one running to win Duncan :P

Did the Radical have any problems on the weekend?

Radical was pretty reliable. Only sticking point was getting the right side rear alloy wheel nut off. Neil busted his 3/4 Impact driver which he uses to run up the wheel nuts. It was stuck on TIGHT.

The anti sieze wasnt quite up to it and the right side rear nut bound up tight on the hub there was a fair bit of alloy galling between the wheel and the nut. We tried everything to get it off. Ended up drilling it out so we could undo it. Pity was Neil missed a session cause of this.

But the new tyres he put on after this where fanstastic he said. :P

yeah I think Neil's biggest challenge once the wheels were changed was the same as mine the week before - its just a hard track to get the hang of in a couple of laps.

I had the big advantage of racing there the weekend before and having had a week to think about all my mistakes lol. there's no mistake the track rewards comittment but I needed heaps of laps to get any idea of what speed I could carry, where.

ahh i wish mate.

1. no restrictors, i remember the bsm guys saying the production car made more top end than the ipra car. which i reckon counts for plenty at PI.

2. i was running dunlop dz03 not yoko a048. that has to be worth a minimum of 1 sec alone.

but i was still stoked about the time, I went quicker than I expected to and no doubt there is another 1/2 sec in it with a heap more lap's worth of practice

nice work dundan! 1:48 in your car with what power etc it has is damn good mate. and quicker than neils radical! that is a big surprise for me. I know his isn't the latest one etc but they are still bloody quick so you must have been peddling your car pretty well.

Good to see everyone is having fun, taking home straight cars and even got the opportunity to play with a bucket and spade. By the way, What the devil made you spin in that direction on/from that part of the track, Were you drifting the kink again?????

No photos yet but my Xmas rebuild is well underway with the motor n box out. Crack the motor open tomoz and see how it all measures up after 3 years of caining around the tracks. I expect a set of rings is all that will be needed. Hopefully it will be back together ready for next years Super Sprint Nats, at Morgan Park I think?

hey guys i was gonna start a new thread but ill ask in here as the main people in the know read this thread...

wheres the best locations for the harness points on a 6 point harness? its in a r32 gtr and im running a fullcage and cobra fixed back seat so the main ones will go around the taxi bar, but what about the other 4 points? I found threaded holes for an eyelet on the sill side but no point on the tunnel side to connect one too. Unless i use the stud from the original seat mount? Then what about the points for the 5th and 6th points that run between the legs? should i just put it to a couple of eyelets that are mounted with a plate on either side of the floor pan for strength and bolted in?

hopefully that makes sense, i just want to make sure i pick the strongest points possible and im sure others have set these harnesses up plenty of times. :D

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
