Bel has only just started playing with suspension in that last session they had other issues before that session they ran the 44. They were about to make more changes for the last session but the day had to end because of oil on the track. Remember the Bel car has under 300kw.

As it stands at the moment we have almost DOUBLE the amount of EOI forms as we have entry spots as we have been limited to 70 odd entries as we want to maximize the track time we give you guys. I want to give Open Class an hour on the track and Clubsprint Class 45minutes. As it stands Open Class may very well end up being an invite only affair for this first event.

:P I doubt the old-school Datto would make the invite list - assuming Superlap is Late Model JDM focussed.

Can you put me back to my original EOI for the JZA80 Supra in Clubman class. I don't want to miss out on this event all together!

Yes from memory Dave told me that it already has around 320kw at all 4 wheels. That is pretty impressive numbers coming out of a 4 cylinder. When I saw it at wakey they were running around 280kw at the wheels, as it was just a test and tune day. As many people know, that car should be super fast considering the coin that has been spent on it.

BRING THE DATTO HARRY!!! PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT :)

mate I'd rather bring the Datto, but I don't think it will get an invite. Its not late model JDM car which is probably their target audience, its not a workshop car, I'm not well known in Sydney motorsport circles, or to the organisers...

I think if you have to limit entries, the first thing to do would be to restrict drivers to one vehicle - there's one guy listed as driving 3 different cars on the entry lists! Same should apply to workshops - its pointless having one workshop entering 2 or more cars in the same class, unless they're at least in different sub-categories (ie rwd, awd, 6cyl, 4cyl etc). Just my thoughts.

Yes they wer eonly out there for testing on the weekend and they were planing to go for a fast time in their last session but they never got that session. I was a bit disappointed about that as I was interested to see what the car was capabale of in its current state. Also a bit disappointed that Cameron ( Orange Evo 8MR ) from QLD had issues early in the day and didnt get a chance to put in some fast laps as I think that car will be quite fast now also.

What you will find is that most of the cars are not workshop cars. Yes on the list they are listed as it but the vehicles were just built there but are privately owned and we do not have the owners full details so we have keft them listed with the workshop name there. I will know how we will go with numbers after this weekend as there is a mini test day happening to workout format etc.

I throw your rocks back :thumbsup:

It was raining in the morning, it was then wet with partial dry lines, then it was dry. But then a Wrecks dropped it's oil everywhere. So no chance to get a full dry run hence reasonable to assess a faster time was likely.

If you spend some time racing with BEL or at events they compete in you will get to know how they work. They always run at half pace for the first half of the day testing their setup etc then in the last 2 sessions of the day they decide to start to set fast times. they are known for this they did it at all the Circuit Battle events, run at 6000rpm all day untill the last session then run full noise in the last session and go as fast as they possibly can. Gives people false hopes about how fast their cars are and how "slow" the BEL car is. It is a good way to catch people off guard.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
