[phunky_monkey]

I know they use a lot of Bosch Dyno's over there, and apparently they give a figure closer to flywheel hp...

[Primordial]

even if you fed the engine a never ending suppy of tall d cupped shaved virgins is shouldnt make that much diffrence!

GREAT work!

Is this going to be a continuous event? Are you guys coming back next year again?

[West]

[funkymonkey]

great effort guys

as long as you beat all the other gaijin on the track, that's all that counts... esp the pommes and the yanks

i dunno. if they were regular then sure, but shaven certainly adds a couple hundred horse power to my engine...

[pkblade]

Fantastic effort guys! ya did Oz proud. Also, given the budget & time constraints it's a testament to Aust'n tuning & build quality.

The UK contingent did great but were plagued with numerous problems, despite having the resources of a big local company backing them.

Results taken from the Time Attack UK site:

Great stuff guys, just shows that the local boys dont have the mortagate on engineering expertise or driver talent. Well done. I get the feeling that Richard might not be the only tourist there to cheer you guys on next year.

[Trust33]

nice stuff breaking below 1 min. i get the feeling that the others who run below 55sec have uber power and done allot of hard laps arround tskuba.

[260DET]

Bloody well done, that is an exceptional result, pity I have to blow you blokes away next time at QR. Joking........of course

[Downforce]

hks arnt invited for some reason.

LOL.. maybe because last time they were invited they entered with a full carbon fibre panel Evo which kicked everyone's ass Controversy, i love it

[LEANBAC]

good work guys, not many people get to do what you guys did

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

How did the PDX Wrx go? i cant seem to find it on the list there.

hey guys

i just want to thank you all for the congratulations! it was an awsome experience. i really ejoyed the racing and the people and the experience, the english lads were really nice too! we didnt get get on it with them as they had many late nights working on the cars!

just reading what sydneykid was saying, it is absolutely correct tyres really cost us!! but all experience learned , the car had a 58 in it on these tyres but required more time in the last session (only 10 minutes & slow cars on track meant four quick laps and couldnt get tyre temp)

all things going well we will be back there next year ( in the r34) with a car that runs 50 flat or better on the sprint at qr and sub 1 minutes at wakefield on semi's, that has to be the new goal!

i will post some pics on incar tonight hopefully when i have had a rest, just flew in this morning.

marks already got his head under the bonnet of a gtr back here! , we have heaps of ideas!

i cant say enough what a cool trip it was to go to the nismo festival(huge! i think i saw over seventy gtr's, 4 gtr 400's in a row on the road while eating breakfast before heading to fuji and the track setup would have been two to three times the size of eastern creek!!) and then tsukuba which is not a big track but very up close and personal with some very very special cars!! rocommended to all

jdm car freaks.

i would also like to thank the people who helped us with knowledge and products, the car was a reliable bullet and we couldve done fifty laps around there in one session, i think we would be the only ones that could say that!

russ

p.s we didnt see the american subaru there and the hks evo was still on its way back from buttonwillow in the states (where it kicked there asses!), the driver of the hks evo jumped the uk evo and managed a sub 1 minute for that car.
