Yep Bozman aero mods coming along. We have been chopping up the side skirts and rear of the car making some real rack off side skirts and big rear diffuser. Sure to help, and designed with help of Carbon Artistry who has done our work for over 10 years and does lots of race car stuff. Also taken advice from an air craft engineer who is involved with the V8 Supercars.

We may not be the quickest on the day but will have the best aero of any car there and will look the part. Don't right us off either. We will definitely have the quickest zed there, he he.

Hey Jason I found another pic of your car.

Is that Kennedy? Please tell me you are going to superlap. Since Marcov can't make it you're the best chance I know of that could threaten Mark Berry.

hmm, I don't even think the berry/newman/hi octane GTR is the favourite. their time's only 2 sec faster than a full steel, full glass, 27mm restricted, crap tyred IPRA car :bunny:

Who's car would that be would be keen to check it out. Must be a bit of a weapon if its only that far behind with restrictors in place. As i would have thought that the Mark/Russ/Hi Octane car would have been the benchmark for track spec GTR's in oz as they seem to have the runs on the board. There are plenty of keyboard warriors out there but not to sure how many will back up there talk with times at the track ?. Should be an interesting event anyway sounds like there will be some tuff cars comeing out of the woodwork.

add to that Jeff and his crew at brandster have been developing 32 GTR race cars for years now and there is a lot of know how behind them. Fark, I've been in Jeffs garage at his work and there are enough GTR parts in there to sink a ship. many of them modified and/or developed or refined by those guys over the years. They have been one of the few real serious guys working at making a 32 GTR fast over race distance in the last 5 years. I would say Jeffs car with dave behind the wheel will be top 5 for sure and most likely top 3.

i fart in your general direction!

NO NO NO.

Lets get back to the car thing. Superlap to be exact.

I will re kick things along.

Zeds smack GTR.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
