What happens if it rains?????

Does it still go ahead???

If it rains i will kiss my transfer case. I really will.

Depending on what we get back from cams cages may not be required in either Class. BUT I can not say that for sure just yet as cams are rather slow at gertting me answers.

Nathan you've got my number - i have the cage all ready to go and as you know i dont want to use it. Please call/sms me the result from cams asap (cause the car is at the workshop right now, 3 hours away, its an effort and a half) :D

Yeh well the usual class split is between road reg drivers with R tyres and trailer queen racers with slicks, there are lots of other events including sprints where this difference is recognised, why not here? Who is going to buy a set of S tyres and wheels for this?

Not trying to knock the concept, it just seems that some of the rules are out of sync with expenditure already incurred for other events and classes. Hard to see the reason why.

that's the way Tsukuba Supelap is run in Japan. its all about how fast you can go on R tyres.

and if you don't want to run against the Open class cars you can go to Clubman class on normal road tyres. Most guys running the kind of cars targeted (late model JDM) at sprints and track days will already have 2 sets of rubber - street and semis, so its no big deal. If you really want to win Clubman, you'll probably need to buy (and buff) tyres, but some guys will already have suitable tyres too like the 595RS. And some won't care and just turn up on their normal street rubber, like me. The street tyres will be a big equaliser too - he with the most power won't neccisarily win. It will be more about overall handling balance.

I think its a good concept. I'm in for the Clubman

Steve, I am hoping that you will not need the cage so as soon as I know I will let you know. From what I have been told so far you wont need one but I need to clarify that. Either way the class you want to run in next time will not require one :D

well for what its worth, my opinion is that cage is a must for open class considering the pace these cars can run. jdm cars and skylines in particular really redefine the pace a pretty standard road car can run at. I think you guys are underestimating how quickly the top open class cars will go.

You are correct Duncan but my understanding is that all the cars that will be in that top 60% of the Open Class meaning the really fast guys/cars will all be purpose built and have proper cages as it is anyway. No Super sprint entrant needs a cage yet majority of the time the top guys all have them. You may still need a cage but untill cams get back to us I cant say yes or no for sure.

Roll cage yes if open class and fast car as not all will be pushed. If you did roll it, which is so rare, it would likely be bad.

Hey check out this fuel a customer just showed me. New Fuel

I assume it is allowed Nathan??

Also anyone know of options with forged 18 inch wheels 10 and 11.5 114.3pcd around 35 to 40 offset?

Yeah Im sure speedweek would love it!

the car show....maybe?

Ah Harry is going to make the trip down! good stuff! Supra??

yeah mate, just in the Supra. Should be a little quicker now thanks to some very minor tweaks - I spent alot of time tweaking ride heights and have a better balance now, and also converted from sequential turbo operation to simultaneous which gets rid of a big 'hole' in power delivery for track work.

Speedweek? I'm sure they will take anyone willing to pay their over the top prices. would be a great event to have televised, get some TV profile back into circuit instead of drfiting (oh sorry I mean grip driving)

Hey big bones I know you can drive and was that the Silvia with 3 litre engine and positive camber in front end and three wheel studs on one of two wheels? Have a go fatz no puss that's for sure.

3 litre engine in silvias rock! specially na single cam ones

positive camber happens when you weld drunk and have a track day the next day and give no shit but want to d skidz :P!

as for 3 wheel nuts i put that down to weight saving.... shaved at least 1 second of my time

life is hard when your this good looking!

    • 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
