Hey if Lofty can do 1.17's in his NA 2 litre Toyota Starlet in IPRA form on crap controlled Yokies, why couldn't a car with alot more freedoms and HP/PS/KW go alot faster :D

The most important factor, TALENT. Unfortunately money can't buy it. :)

Here is some in car footage from my mates street registered 400hp s14 at Oran park GP

This car does 1.07's at wakefield (old surface). Flat 48's around Oran South and a touch under 1.20 around GP.

This car is running semi's (RE55s).

This car is a consistent front runner and class winner in the Multi Club Supersprint Series in NSW.

I would be very surprised if a street registered car on street tyres could do 1.18 around GP.

Was it you who bought my Brembo's and rotors?

Superlap will be full of surprises!!!!!

What times does this car do around Eeastern Creek???

That's very impressive, street registered rwd 2 litre punching out those times, must be a great steerer too!!!!

Troy (aka Roy) has some stiff competition!!!!

But Troy's racing "twoogle" :laugh:

got a spare pair of -5's hanging around?

JAGR33,

The car in the video is consistently quick. But there is a lot of road registered car's doing similar times.

This car will not be entering superlap. As it is pointless trying to push a 200sx on street tyres around a race track.

Unless it's a drift event which it clearly isn't. These car's need semi's to go quick.

He should still enter it, will be a great event who cares if there are faster cars out there???

Anyway, still impressive in what your mate has done.. :laugh:

That S14 looks very well behaved for 400hp! Steerer looks smooth and is on the ball doing those times.

JAG, if you guys did EC as often as you have Sandown/PI etc i suspect you would all be doing around 1:42 to 1:44s. I think that EC is a pretty technical track compared to some down here in Vic. I really need to run my car again on some NSW tracks, never ran on any of them with semis and the TD06 :laugh:

You would really needs 18s on a rwd car in teh Clubsprint class. The extra diam and lower profile would have to help a car on street tyres.

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
