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.

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

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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
