Yeh two issue in a row and fingers crossed I was running a phot comp with SAU and HPI and that should be in the in the next issue Not sure though. It will be along the lines of how to take good pics, I did not write it but the pictures are from SAU members so that should be good.

The times were utter bullshit. The autosports cars WERE NOT the fastest on the day, and they weren't doing anywhere near the 1:06's claimed by the author.

The fastest car on the day was Dumhed in the black NA silvia. He overtook both of the autosports cars reasonably easily and he was running 1:09-1:10 all day

A few of us timed the autosport cars at 1:10-1:12 consistantly

don't worry, I told wheels magazine that I was doing 1:04s all day, and 1:05's on Nankangs, but using my feet for extra push down the straight.

At first they didn't believe me, but I just yelled "GTR!" at them until they thought I must be a professional race driver.

Hey just to let people know I was given this information by people on the day Brad gave me his times as he stated that he was timed doing 1:06:XX but sitting around the 1:10 bracket for most of the day. Remember there where no offical times out their. Offical timers from now on I say. And no offence for pissing people off with the times Club exposure was more my concern.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
