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.

    • 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.
    • 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 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
