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

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
