Hi all,

I am currently trying to organise a trip for our NZ superlap winning car over to your inaugural Superlap competition.

In short , i am very interested to know how close the top imports are to the V8 Supercars on the same track or are they actually faster? (if they are , i'll save myself the heartache now and just quit :wub: )

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Scott

As it stands for the moment Scott the imports are slower. However I dont think we really have proper times for most of the imports on the GP Circuit at Oran Park. You also have to remember that V8 Supercars run on full slicks. I am sure if you put some o our fastest cars on full slicks they would be very close to V8 Supercar times.

I hope you can organise some sponsors to get over here it would be good to have some friendly overseas rivalry. :wub:

Hi evil weevile i did not see your car there today so i did not know who you where sorry you came out last time we where there didnt you ? Mark and Russ your car looks hot and the times are great this will be one of the cars to watch i think

nice to meet you guys at the track Saturday!! all i can say is you guys in NSW have some bloody awsome race tracks, OP south was a blast and i can't wait to get on the whole track thursday.

i hope the weather is a bit better but we did have the track to ourselves so great for learning the lines.

yeah times were mainly in the low 46's but a few high 45's from Mark.

one weird thing happened, not sure but it seems the right rear tyre has a damaged side wall as it got really nervous on that corner late in the day after we rotated tyres. will find out thursday.

also the bloody track is hard on rims and exhaust!! lol i have never seen ripple strips like it!

cant wait to go back and looking to following some one around!!

cheers russ

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
