you probably need to be more specific, but I suspect jetwreck can just go and check up on any questions by looking in the garage. bastard.

ahk, im basically just interested on what was done to it to get it to the level it was at, so really just everything.

Motor basics below.....the rest of the driveline also plays a big part in the performance of the car.....hope this helps.

R31 GTS-r intercooler(sort of....there a GMS story behind it)

8:1 compression for the high comp motor. 7:1 compression for the low comp motor

21PSI on the high comp. 23PSI on the low comp

Nissan Motorsport Block

Custom grind cams(have fun finding blanks)

JE pistons

Nismo Rods

Standard Crank

Garret 3/4 turbo(non BB)

Titanium Exhaust Valves

Stainless Inlet Valves

GMS Sump

Electromotive ECU(Go Motec.....we have to run the original ECU)

PWR Radiator

I always had a feeling that the Group A cars were being underdriven a tad as the owners are not always gun professional drivers + their cars are expensive and often of significant historical value. But...

Wow, Seto jumps behind the wheel and blitzes them :P So glad to see one of the old Grp A cars turn a bit of genuine speed. I was starting to get concerned by the fact that my lil GTSt can do similar times

Give us a couple of thousand laps around there like Seto and we will get a bit closer. Some of us have only done about 15 laps. I also think that 5 seconds off Seto's pace in the wet is pretty good for non professions.....and bringing them home straight on top of that. Good weekend had by all.

Well done to David Towe(BMW) who won & Bill Cutler(BMW) for third in the last race in the wet.

I was not having a dig at all. The std of driving thru the field is better then i could ever do. Anyway, if i had any one of the cars out there i doubt i would be able to race it becuase of the cars value and the expense to source parts and repair. So massive wraps for both punting the cars in the first place and doing it as well as you all do.

But, there are street cars in the car club that are quicker and it has always left me wondering, has car development come that far in the past 20years? Are semi slicks that much better then the tyres that were run 20years ago. Or does the old power vs weight with good grip will bag you better time? So for me it was good to see the M3 show the turn of speed it did :/

Any truth to the talk late last year that Richo, Seton and Bowe could be regulars this season? Be great to see, and i imagine as a competitor awesome to be racing against drivers of that calibre

I just re-read my response.....sorry my response reads a little different to how I had it in my head.....I know what you were saying and it's pretty clear you weren't having a shot at us.

There are some pretty quick street cars out there I agree.....but can they do 1,000k's at 9/10's or even 40 laps at Eastern Creek at that. On top of that do they get better the longer they go? I have driven some pretty well prepaired street registered race cars in the past and non of them really do the race thing as well as the Group A's or a purpose build race car. Power to weight with good balance and grip should always pay off. I find if you have to much power it is very easy to overdrive the car, or make tyres go off. This is OK for short races or sprints but not for long races. Just to be clear I am talking about Circuit cars not Targa/Hillclimb/Sprint cars.

Richo is still racing his Falcon, Bowe his Mustang and Seton his Capri. What I can tell you is Seton may be driving MCM this year with us. Wether it's a BMW or Sierra I don't know. Unfortunately I wont be racing at MCM but Dad will.

P.S. Payback will be sweet if it rains at MCM....I'll see how Dad likes semi slicks it the rain!!!! :down:

thanks mate.

I just wanted something better than the pissy little one i found.

If i ever get to the stage where i have more money than sense, i would love to build a complete replica in that colour scheme.

Hehe - I have same vague plans for a track R31 in Group A guise. This PDF scan may help for a 32 replica.

From memory powerplay imports have the GIO R32 for sale... POA of course

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
