Dave(blitzxtr) Was great to finally meet you and see that GTR in action,for 16psi it sure did hammer.

Dave and i had a ball considering our car only did 4 laps...two of them on pace. Engine wanted to share oil with engine bay due to a poorly designed catch tank system for circuit racing. Rather than sending it out risking putting oil on the track we decided to park it and live to fight another day.

1.18.5 is pretty good first time out and we have an idea where the set-up needs to go to better balance the car. Factory brembo's need to go and some SAU Vic. style anchors need installing.

kerchow, first excuse posted already! John P do you have any copies of the GTR driver's excuse book you can post up some excerpts from?

Well done to LotusDave's offsider for taking out the day, Mark for keeping the GTRs near the top of the table, and very honourable mention to Dave/BSM in 3rd by only 1/10th. And John for piloting John's boat home in 5th. Those top cars are absolutely flying around there.

And good on all the SAU NSW entrants for giving it a go!

excuse for what?? putting in an outstanding effort in first event? or considering other competitors when people were pressuring us to send a car out that i knew was dropping oil?

i dont need to make excuses for that sort of effort...im proud of it.

you dont need an excuse for your busted RB26's Duncan...its expected by now. :(

Although...thanks for the last comment...at least we are giving it a go mate. Its a lot more exciting than drag racing and Dave and i are keen for the next event.

that was fun. Well done to all. Great cars driven fast. Might have to build a proper SL car for next year. :(

it was great watching your car dave.

seeing the different corner entries and exits. some cars very settled and others on the raggedy edge.

it reminds me of the old touring car days. different solutions to the same problem....trying to go faster.

thanks to all the guys that entered.

^Shouldn't be aplogising for those, some good stuff in there.

Great day, ran pretty smoothly apart from a few minor incidents (an upside down Evo being one). Good to see alot of great cars being pushed to their limits (and beyond).

Lofty, what happened in the shootout? Car or brain failure?:( Congrats to the lotus boys and HiOctane racing, that GTR is a beast, and very aggressively driven (made for some great photos).

Evil, how did QSR stuff up your other sessions? was there oil on the track after he drove the ailing rx7 around for 3/4 of a lap? I don't think he'd done that sort of event before by the looks of things - first lap out he used the drift/motorcycle part of the track in the karting complex...

Anyway, I had a good day spectating, will post up some photos later.

Hey everyone no excuses for me I am stoked. Had a great day considering the amount of track time our group got 17 laps ( thanks QSR :D ) Thanks to all the SAU peoples that showed up it really helped the confidence coming down pit lane. And congrats to Chris I felt your frustration in the second and third sessions but I suppose that is racing???? We will have to get better so next time we can be in group 2 or maybe 1 :(

Congratulations to the winners and the drivers of the landcruzer for not falling over through turn 1, that car flys in a straight line OMG.

PS: Neil my car does sound shit now :)

Cheers,

Ryan

Well, he would pull over to let Ryan and I overtake...but when we got next to him he'd gas it up and try and get back in front of us. Ryan made a good move under brakes, but I wasnt too confident with his driving style, that I waited for straights....even then he'd move over again and then try and race me, then cut back in and would miss me by a meter or 2, pretty close!! Its a sprint, not door to door! lol I dont know what he was thinking?

I have no sympathy for his motor now!!!

Ryan - Very well done on your time mate, you did great!!

I still enjoyed the day, great range of cars, and the new people that I met were good blokes too!

edit - wow Jase, awesome shots mate! nice one!

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      By Dylannn · Posted

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?

      Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov
