We came 15th out of 40 in class and 16th overall out of 74. We will be aiming for top 5 next time round. Might need a few more laps and better than OEM brakes to do it though. The cars probably good for a 1.14 set-up how Luke wants it...he was on a 1.16 on his last lap before stopping due to oil in engine bay.

What an awesome event :D

A big thank you and congratulations to the event organizers for putting on a spectacle which was well worth the time, money and effort to get the car down to Oran park to compete in.

Great turnout, atmosphere and live commentary. In my opinion it really helped the race teams see where they where in terms of ranking and the blow by blow battle between the R32's and Lotus's was fantastic to hear from a spectator point of view.

Was fun to watch the Hipower Racing CRX keep a few of the GT-R's and Evolution's honest in open class. The team is already planning out what it can do for the next event to improve on it's 1.19, wasn't too shabby considering it was a first time on Oran park for the car.

The point I'd like to stress for the next Superlap would have to be the call for more on-track marshals. I was standing at the closest spectator point to the roll over of the Evolution and it took way to long for the incident to be communicated to the drivers; or race control who were running on the circuit.

Looks like it was a great day, apart from the incidences of course.

I'm really dissapointed I couldn't get there, but what can ya do I guess... congrats to all that ran :D

What happened to the side of Adz's car? Sand trap?

Richard: Sheezus!! He drove around the track like that?

Thanks Beer Baron.

we had lots of fun in the silvia . 17th outright even beat lots of awds. 2nd fastest rwd and awarded best presented car. lots of sideways action.

how can you beat that. and i drove my own car.

I don't think the RX7 spilt any oil did it?

In his defence, it was probably just burning oil, not spilling it, since one of the seals blew.

Although why he went around another lap is beyond me.......................................... :P

Yeah i had a good look at the track after he went past and didnt see a drop. We probably dropped more oil than him. :(

Already got a decent catch can set-up (same as twoogle's) ready to go on the car to prevent the disaster we had on Saturday.

Hey DiRTgarage we were on a 1 min 10 before we broke traction.

Slot car came 6th. Missed the all important top 5 but considering the top 5 open class cars are big budget cars and teams, not so bad I guess with more in it. With softer rear springs required as she was oversteering a lot and bit less neg camber in front as inside tyres in front getting much hotter than outside and understeering a bit. Lots more in the car yet. This one was huge and next one cars will be better and event will be bigger.

Also big well done to Russ giving that R35 heaps and pushing it hard enough to come off the track, so not holding back. Also Mark just being beaten by those pesky Lotuses? Still awesome time though. Not sure how I will ever catch you guys, maybe a bigger rear wing??

Actual Times here.

Superlap TImes.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
