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

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
