After the 1st 2 practice sessions the EVO's are leading the way with last years winners in the BMW 335i close behind.

A reasonable sized grid has rolled up this year. Unfortunately the TRD team pulled out due to "lack of development and preparation".

If the race is anything like last year it will be great. Not to mention the grand total of 6 safety car laps in the whole 12 hours. Not bad considering half the field were semi proffesional drivers and the diverse speeds of the cars.Shown again this year with the Alfa Diesel some 61 seconds slower than the EVO.

and here he is topping the timesheets at bathurst.

man I wish they would let cars older than 5 years old into this event (like 17 years old would be nice). reckon we would finish top 3 if we made it to the end.

i thought the times have been pretty good considering they are "production cars"

hopefully Dave can bring his EVO IX GSR further up the grid tomorrow (or sunday)

The SS wagon is pretty fast in class D

** you have the wrong picture up earlier ?? :) **

well the real limiting thing for all these cars is standard boost on standard turbos, exactly the same rules we run.

every gtr on george st has 300+ awkw but we are stuck with less than 250awkw in the race car.

yeah sweet ;) Its sad what the taxis have done to bathurst 8 hour with their 32 car grids. I love to watch the number and mix of cars these guys put on.

Will be a tricky weekend for them with the rain as well......

I'll bet the evos drop like flys over the race (just like the sierras used to) but hopefully at least one of them will make it to the end. They are the quickest cars and they deserve the win :P

GO Dave :cheers: pole position. Looks like it will be a close race if all the cars can hold it together.

The commodore was out on track this morning :ninja:

(this must be the Duncan and Nick thread)

lol is noone else home this weekend or do people really not care about proper racing?

Interesting that they all found 3 seconds on their practice time, that says a lot about how much slower they want to run for reliability.

Forecast is dry/chance of afternoon shower. So probably dry with an interesting finish

My old man is there atm with one of the HQs. they are only a support class, but they have 2 grids worth of cars! The car he is there with qualified on 2nd pos, dont know how he went today tho.

Kind of makes me wish I had my HQ still! I raced there years ago in it, & had a blast. Didnt do too bad either considering there was about 150 HQs there. I got up to 2nd place with 2 laps to go, gaining on the leader, then broke a distributor wire! finished 25th. spewin.

fun up there Brendan? The HQs would have been all over the place, especially coming down from mcphillamy

We had ours very well sorted handling wise, & I was one of the few who could hold it pretty well flat through there. I had a big moment one time comming off skyline, where I was trying a later braking point. definently didnt pay off! Flat out through the chase was a thrill, but my fav part tho was the dipper. ahhh good times...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
