Everyone is busy preparing......

....their excuses to post here on Sunday.

Paul....interesting part of Luke's history to post. He has had lots of great performances, but holding the lap records for a very poorly attended production car series which only lasted 1 year is not really the highlight. Especially when we all know the trick to winning production car races is picking the fastest car in the first place. The BMW 130 was definately the car to squash those pesky mangas and pulsars.

Wow that was a shot across the bow Paul. Love the Marina bit, yes he is a fellow silor and smokes a pipe wears a cardy.

Where is GTR Jason's entry, or is it a late grand one???

I am going to Oran GP today for testing and bed in new tyres, I hope to try different springs with Sydneykid this afternoon.

all I see is hyundai this, and magna that.... :) lol, I remember when folks in that field used to just drive their road cars there to race. hardly a shock that searles team who were very professional and strongly supported beat their brains in. but credit where it's due, they went there to win and made sure it happend. :down:

Thats exactly what i was going to post. He is no doubt a good steerer, as he has been around for a while running many sorts of cars.

The only reason i remeber Luke is years ago in the 2L BMW touring car he started on the back of the grid because he missed qualifying because of shabbats or something???

The other thing which will be interesting is to see how he goes behind the wheel of a car with some grunt and weight:)

That may have been taken out of context...Duncan is a very active member in the sport here and i was surprised to not see an entry from him. We are all in the same boat (no pun intended John) at the end of the day and to see Dunc's fronting with only words on a forum is a bit of a shame. I am aware at the lack of respect he has for me and what we do...thats just something ive learned to live with.

Got a two car team fronting to give this a real shake in both classes next year...this year we will be just finding our feet.

Well, we all cant be blessed to afford days like this. I mean the entry was enough to make it even more difficult to enter, not to mention that track time wise running may be less then other track events.

But it will be good competition and a good event which is why i am feeling the loss for missing it. But that said, i like the idea of being able to afford laps at Silverstone, Brands Hatch etc later this year so :)

Yep sure will Luke has driven my car only around the streets but he is amazed on how hard it pulls. He has never driven a GTR with power before. So hopefully after the first seesion he should have worked the thing out. Be very interesting to see how he goes one thing for sure is that he knows oran park like the back of his hand. So i think ive done the right thing letting searly drive my car. Im a hopeless driver & would probably end up hitting the wall.

Personally the only reason i would let someone drive me car in place of me is if they were paying for the whole show and that way i could sit back and see how the car goes without having to pony up with the pennies. If i was payign entry, tyres, fuel etc there is no way you could get the keys out of my greedy little hands :) So hats off to anyone who is letting other ppl pilot their cars...

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      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

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By jdniss · Posted

      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.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
