So Open has spaces left? Have we got an updated list? Id like to know who's going to beat me (pretty much all of the field im betting)

That datto would be crazy fun, if my old one had 400hp i think the same smile would be on my face as yours

Hey blitzxtr Dave have a go, I think I will be strong contender for RWD and 4WD I predict will be between Lofty and Mark and Russ in their R32's. I bet my house with all my toys that I have the fastest zed on the day, he he. Maybe next year with limited budget of time and money, I have my alloy block 100kg lighter and .8 of a litre bigger VQ motor installed, with a bus load more power, I might be in their ear a lot more then. Btu then Giant brings out his R34 GTR and on it goes.

PS I know how hard and expensive it is mainly in time to convert a road car to race car, and how hard it is to remove Sikaflex and Wurth rubber under car spray, which I pumped it's arse with in the doors and quarter panels etc, trying make a quieter road car out of my zed years ago.

sounds like your chasing the rear end roy!?

get a big bar and work all your bushes and check for movementm try an put pressure on the hub as you would underpower! our car use to do it too.

There will be more pro drivers then anything else bozman if one of the pro drivers smash the car they are driving who pays the driver or the owner

Depends on the terms of the contract, in our team Bathurst 12 hour deal it's the driver, you bend it = you fix it, you write it off = you own it.

I think having a pro drivers stepping into cars will detract from the event and its success as it simply becomes cheque book racing then rather than a grass roots style of event. And i believe that Australia would not be able to sustain a series of this kind due to lack of popualtion and funds and if competitors get discouraged from entering this will only harm the event. Just look at drifting for example imagine if in its infancy a local workshop had a pro D1 driver driving their car and winning everything I doubt that it would be as popular as it is today because people would have been discouraged from entering due to the one sided compition. The series as it stands now is extremely popular and has fostered a lot of up and coming local talent and companys. I believe that this style of event could grow to become just as popular as drifting and progress to a similar level as long as it is run so as not to discourage grass roots level competitors.

sorry guys but if you think this is a grass roots event (particularly in open class) then you have missed the point. It is clearly targetted at workshops to show off their abilities, and if you have paid say $200k to develop a car, why wouldn't you pay a tiny bit extra for someone to drive it to it's full potential.

there are plenty of events similar for "grass-roots" or club racers, like the state super sprint series at Eastern Creek today. pretty much anyone with an L2S and $200 for entry fee is welcome

Re damaging the car - if I ask and pay for a drive, I expect to pay for damage. If I am asked and paid to drive, I don't pay for damage. simple.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
