I'm a little devistated; I did all my sums on the weekend and came to the conclusion that I dont have the budget to do this. Not this time any way. Looking forward to the next time its on. Untill then I'll just do some more Lakeside days, that should help put a smile back where it should be.

well i picked up fastfours today and gt2 and the benz were in it and they were bloody filthy from rain and road, also had a corner by corner detail comparo in your words around the track,

hehe! was a good read. looked like you guys had a ball!!

HEHE yes it was great fun. Nothing like putting $730k worth of cars on a dirt road :D

I am just wondering how fast fours got it, as I thought the story was for MOTOR only.

Boost button is the go, although I might raise the low boost a bit and see how goes for traction and drivability.

DiRTgarage are you going it for sure or just beer talkin? You will have some stiff experienced well set up cars to compete with, but at least getting out there. As giant will know and might explain there is heaps of time to be gained in years of experience with testing and set up and what parts work and what doesn't etc. How much faster have you gone Russ compared to were you were at 2 years ago??? HEEEEAPS. Two ways to accelerate this advantage is lots of testing, hook up with a workshop with track experience that supply parts, use other people experience with the score on the board and get advice, and use motorsports engineers, and money helps. Lots more to it than going in a straight line.

Yep Sydney kid is helping me with suspension set up and rear sway bar now etc, and some fine tuning, so I can at least get closer to giant and lofty and maybe others.

John I;m curious about the weight of your car i;m guessing around high 1300 kg;s

With out my front diff this is a good guess but wrong. Not quite that light yet. Did someone mention something about being secrets. I will say it is getting lighter every day.

Hey Chris and Anderew. Glad you boys can make it to the day.

Chris, you are on :)

Andrew, should be mate. 8.15-8.30 should be ok to rock up. Might be worth giving oran park a call on 46 46 1004 regarding fuel and pricing as we have nothing to do with that :D

OK the bar has just been raised for the 5th July!!!!!

Just had a look at the entries and noticed Mackie and Lucas have entered in the exiges!!!!!!!!!!

Peter Lucas just did a 1.34 around the creek on the weekend, while Tim Mackie did a 1.37!!!!!!!

So Lucas is 5 seconds faster than Berry around the creek and 9 seconds faster than Penlington.

Yes these times were done on slicks. These are proper race cars that have entered and are able to run in open. We are all up sh!t creek.

    • 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.
