I was thinking your place would be good for post race punch up and beer fest. any scores not settled on track can be dealt with the old fashioned gentlemans way. with a glassing.

I love that pic on the previous page that you posted John.

I remember that day.

In the pic I can see my fellow driver trainer Benny in the silly seat with Jason driving his GTR.

At this stage Benny has fire coming through the floor and trying to burn his feet :P and I think he may have been telling Jason....can't remember exactly what though :cool:

GTFO!?!?!?!

:)

lol. jason's car rocks. It once melted my shoes to the floor in the passenger seat. great fun though.

Was that Ben in there, he is game. Took three fire extinguishers to put this one out. I would never get in a car at the track with this crazy driver.

RE Dave Loftus I think he could be a dark horse ring in that might thump us all. He certainly knows how to set up a car and vast experience and good driver. More power and going on a diet hey. I migth get that front diff installed.

don't write jason off too much you boys. don't forget his place is about 5kms tops from oran park... I reackon he's done a fair few sneaky laps around there by now. :)

give 'em hell jason!

don't really know how Loftus could ever be called a dark horse, if I was putting money on someone it would be him.

lap record of 1:15.5 in restricted IPRA trim, set in race conditions and on 048's is pretty impressive. He could turn up in that spec on better rubber and knock a couple of seconds off.

nathen i never told you i had retreads so stop talking shit and i will see you at the track big month

Jason, As I explained to you on the phone after you had a go at me I NEVER said anything about retreads I said you were on rubbish semi slicks. NEVER did I mention re-treads. Please read what I have said next time before you ring and abuse me. >_<

Re Lofty I meant no been in our scene as such, but obviously will be.

Yep some big cars, big ego's will be turning up. At least we won't be fitting for the same corners, so should be tidy and only bruised ego's.

Go Jason have a go.

shame our car doesnt qualify for the Clubsprint class >_< there is no way in hell i am even going to go near the track with seasoned racers like the Hi Octane car and the likes on the track :( not to mention the lack of roll cage in our car :(

But its not a race. Everybody will be racing the clock so there wont be any door to door racing. People show each other lots of respect with space to race and pass. Nobody wants to get held up on a good lap so the format lends itself to a wide cross section of cars and drivers. Give it a go!

ah, fair enough. I guess he's probably less known in these circles.

certainly are some fast and interesting car/driver pairings in open class. If I had any confidence in my CA18DET Datto giving me some value for my entry money instead of an early return to the trailer, I'd have EOI'd that instead of the Supra road car. wouldn't have been in the running outright, but would have liked to see how she stacked up against some of the rwds. But I'll be there with the Supra in Clubman having some fun and a front row seat to see these Open class weapons.

RB26 S14 John :D Its not getting caged so it wont be getting entered. I would have taken it out just for a thrash and an excuse to get it round corners but the lack of roll cage rules me out straight away.

Roy, not entirely aware of the program but knowing some seasoned racers will be out on the track i am not about to get in their way. I have literally about 30 minutes of circuit time under my belt and even that was many years ago. And even if it was individuals who had the track entirely to themselves the lack of roll cage rules me out :D

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
