i'm thinking of doing some circuit racing this year and was wondering what class people would recommend? i was thinking of super tt but i'm not sure cause i've never raced before. i don't think i'm going to be able to afford Drift Australia again this year, but i still want to compete in something. i'll have to modify my cage and i'm not sure if my standard brakes will be up to it, what pads do people use? thanks in advance for any tips. nathan weissel

Get some r33 or r34 brakes on it, nice wide semi comps, then take it hillclimbing :glare:

I know a place you can practice :laugh:

There's also the motokhana champs in addition to the hillclimb champs. Or the circuit club or the SSCC etc

Nathan,

It all depends what you want to do mate.

When you say race, as in grid racing like Improved Production or any "State series?"

Or supersprints etc with other clubs?

Doing any state rounds etc, Im pretty sure you'd need to modifiy the car in line with the rules and regs etc.

If you joined the SSCC, you can do their interclub series with the alfa,hsv and wrx clubs.

They do supersprints, hillclimbs and 'khana's. (these guys arent strict with mods and stuff!)

With their classing, Im fairly sure you would be in the SVD class.

I joined the SSCC and will be trying to get out to a few sprints.

Pads? check out the suspension/braking section - theres a brake pad user rating guide in there! All I have been using have been benedict's.

Cheers,

Chris

p.s. Steve, werent you meant to be joining the SSCC?!!?

i kind of like the idea of racing door to door with other cars.

Have a chat with Duncan. I know he is doing a series this year, one thing though I think there is alot of restrictions to mods etc.

Didnt you say budget is a constraint?

Door to door wont be cheap. As far as racing on a budget goes IMO the SSCC sprints are good value (points are awarded etc)

i'm not giving up drift, i might have to postpone it for this year due to lack of funds, but i should be right for next year. i'll still do local drift comps and interstate ones with decent prize money.

yeah thats a shame to hear nathan - no doubt money is more important than talent in motorsport.

SuperTT for sure for an ex drift car.

Cams doesn't have any category suitable -

production cars like I run in are 99% standard including boost

improved production requires a 38mm restrictor (tiny) for turbos

sports sedans you would be legal for those but they are about 1.00 flat around wakefield.

AMRS is the most friendly for turbo cars in nsw, they run a couple of rounds in nsw each year. I'm going to try and do a round or 2 with them now I'm allowed to run a boost controller.

I haven't done a round with them yet, but I understand there is a maximum difference between your quakifying and race pace. Not sure what the penalty is but they've been doing this for afew years now,....

be a damn shame to not see you in DA this year, allways liked your driving style smooth and fast.

Would be very interesting to see how the car goes in proper racing, as in grip and power levels. And to see how someone thats been drifting goes in it.

Good luck!!

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
