after 3 years of trying we finally won this bloody series in the Road 8 class!

The series was tied in points before the last round, but we now have an unbeatable points tally with one round to go due to the GT40 being a no show on the weekend. a little disappointing to win it that way, not sure what the problem is with the GT for it not to turn up.

our car was 4th fastest car on track out of 120 cars for the day.

big thanks to John from Import Bits who helped me out with some racing slicks for the day :rofl:

Well firstly, well done. Winning anything (A race, a round) is hard enough these days. A series is very good work.

Just out of interest whose is the GT40?

a guy by the name of Paul Gillis, nice bloke.

sorry for the late reply.

every day the car runs 366 RWKW @ 23 psi. we only managed the 437 RWKW once @ 26 psi. the car wont hold over 23 psi now, we think the internal wastegates dont seal properly, we cant find any other reason for it.

at Phillip Island we did a best time of 1 min 55 something, but with more time (and guts) would think I could have gone a couple of seconds quicker.

I saw the power figure in your sig. 57.3 is a hot time for a rwd. specially a heavy one like the Z32. well done!

I imagine PI would be a pretty daunting place first time there. we don't have anything like it up here to prepare you for those high speed corners.

Phillip Island is just the ducks nuts! if I could race there every month I would. if you ever get a chance to run there, DO IT!

Congrats guys, top effort!!

I've only ever run PI on a bike (high 1:40's) & it really is a track that everyone should go & drive/ride at least once. Nothing like 2-wheel drifting into Turn 1 at 190+ with everything on the deck & shooting sparks off the stainless exhaust, if it wasn't for the cold winters & Gestapo down there I'd consider moving back.

Funnily enough, even after hearing all the comments & watching race footage etc I never once noticed the ocean views whilst screaming down the front straight. Something to do with "tunnel vision" they tell me.......... :blink:

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
