Hi All

Just to let you all know the BSM GTR's took out 1st and 7th at the IPRA National titles held at Warick QLD last weekend. I had a clean sweep taking pole, 3 race wins and the 24 lap final. John Boston driving the 2nd car finished a fantastic 7th.

This toped off a fantastic year for BSM Winning the NSW IPRA Championship and setting lap records at Oran park (1.15.5 ) and Eastern Creek (1.42.5 ) All this with turbo restrictors.

cheers Dave Loftus :)

congrats on the win! I went out there on the Sunday to watch, saw all 4 IPRA races on Sunday and had a bit of a sticky beak at the GTRs in the pits - very nice. Also got to catch up with a few mates who were either competing or crewing for other cars, plus I picked up a front spoiler and some race fuel for my Datto.

Dave and the BSM GTR were definitely the class of the field, although Justin Keys (a local QLD RX3 runner) threw everything he had at him after the safety car in the middle of the 24 lap final. Dave drove really well to hold him off and then re-establish his lead. I was wondering how the tyres would hold up for 24 laps on the GTR compared to the much lighter rotaries... And the under 2L guys put on a good show too - there were some crazy fast fwd U2L cars from interstate, even as far away as WA. And Kevin Ledger's WRX from WA was running very competitively too until problems struck. Well done to all who made the effort to come up here for the IPRA Nationals - I really enjoyed the racing you guys put on!

Great work Dave, and John. Pass on my congrats to Geoff as well he must be stoked, all that development has really paid off.

There were plenty of people, me included, that thought a GTR would never get to the front of Improved Production.

Will you guys be at Oran Park in 3 weeks? We are bringing ours back to the track for the combined touring enduro

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
