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

    • you can enter your VIN (the original, japanese one) here to find the correct part#: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan however, after all this time it is more likely to be a wiring issue than the sender
    • no, it was the same here, just flurries but no need to get the toboggan out....but it is exactly the sort of days where its good to have some inside jobs on the list. Speaking of which the fuga is driving properly after 2 1/2 years.....but that is a whole other thread
    • And yes, put in the restrictor while you are there; a standard engine is fine with a little less oil and you are less likely to run out of oil if you have sustained high revs for any reason eg visit a track one day. How did you clean the cooling system
    • I didn't think about how a circle works before, dumb.  Before, I had .9mm restrictor bolts but I can't use these cause they were shorter aluminium bolts that just tear off their threads when tightening since the OEM lines are thicker than the shitty braided one that was installed previously. Now I use longer 1mm stainless steel restrictor bolts. I think the difference will not affect the health of the turbos, but I guess I'll have to drill out the main feed bolt as I agree multiple restrictions sound dodgy. The one that was installed with the braided line was just too short, but completely without a restrictive hole.
