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

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
