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

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
