Sensational drive there Boz!!!

I own a turbo s2k as well and I fully understand how twitchy this high powered, short + narrow wheel base car it can be. After seeing how you steered I realised why I can't drive my s2k as fast as my bnr32.......I need LOTS of lap time with it. Very inspirational drive Boz. If you do come to QLD to teach, please drop me a PM. I will try my best to attend :ermm:

PS I am surpised that Elias has not put a roll cage in that car yet :D Do you know the weight of the car?

lol Elias has thought about it. Because it has never been a specific track car and was/is his daily driver/toy it would probably just make it a little too hard to carry his kids.

I would think it is a fair bit heavier than standard. I am pretty sure a standard car is 1200+kg. Maybe you would know the standard weight.

We shouldn't get carry away with Honda on a forum like this lol

I wont post some rolled s2k pictures to scare you but yes you are right honda claims that the car is something like 1250kg but I think that is a dry weight. Still too heavy for a little thing.

It looks like you had a lot of practice in this s2k. You seem to know exactly how the car behave.

Was there any 180 on the day?

I'm sure they weight a bit the same, a good set up 180 or s15 would still give that Honda a good run for its money.

LOL West, watch the video again :P My car could perhaps even go close to the S2000, only it wouldnt have had Bozman driving it :(

The car use to have a GT35 when it was running straight line stuff. It now runs a GT32 to give it some mid corner speed at the track.

I think a good set up 180 or S15 would give it a run.

Practise lol if you call 4 or 5 laps in the car around Oran, I suppose you can call that practise :P

Holy moly! nice lap mark. that is stupid fast. There is such a big gap from say say 1:20 down to the 1:12s you guys were doing in the 32. Especially considering it's still a road based car. Very impressive especially so when you consider mark has done less than 50 laps of Oran park by my count.

Geeez, the R32 is hauling ass. Well done Mark, great effort in being less than second behind the Lotus.

I must say I'm more impressed with the R35, the times Russ was punching out in standard trim with standard rubber is amazing.

Will the R34 be ready for the next one Russ??? Rumour has it its in 3 months time...

hey guys just thought i would let you know i have posted up a lap of mark running around

what's even more impressive about the 35 times is the speed de-limiter stopped working half way through the day! I think Russ' best time was set with the limiter working. :(

Comparing that to the S2000 vid you can see that with more practice around OP Mark would definitely go faster. Or maybe just let John Boston drive next time... :(

Different cars, different tyres and need to be driven differently. So i dont think you can say Mark is giving away much behind the wheel jsut from looking at that vid

Nice vid Russ and it gets going out of corners well. I can't wait to see in car vid thea the Ignition DVD crew took with in car camera in the boat with Bozman driving, and sure to be handfull and taily compared to Marks drive.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
