If you can put together a 900kg car with double wishbones all around you will have a very strong potential. both the front running gtrs would be 300+kg heavier.

And if you mean 350rwkw then potential will put it in the top 5 of this field I think.

Only with a good steerer - Stu only knows how to go straight and then turn around for another go.

Duncan, you should put your hand up!

shit, just need someone who can drive lol.

this is my light weight powerplant. hopefully can provide the goods. i know its missing a few cams, but its got a few extra cylinders.

Hey Stu, No one entered the V8 class so it doesnt seem to matter how fast you can or cannot drive. The Jeep was in the carpark at the last event and should have entered it in both clubman and open class.

your brake question has been answered here..

lol no that is John Boston's job :thumbsup:

Stu I'm no expert in those motors, but how do they keep the compression in with no head?

Looks like one of those dinosaurs I have to race against where they complain about not being able to change the "cam"! once the motor is in

fair go jase, it was about 5 years before i even saw what was at the end of the track, ive only done a dozen passess. lots of laps of kembla though, so very inexperienced to say the least.

Thanks guys, was very helpfull. And yes duncan, i have a slight leak-down issue at the moment but i hope to have it rectified shortly.

Well seeings as some people have said this chat has gone towards drag racing talk, Ive decided to run at WSID tonight :rofl:

Wonder if I can do better in a straight line than around corners! :rofl:

Im not really fussed about the v8 class.. wouldnt i be racing against you guys in opens?

Hey John, are 300ZX rear brakes the same as R33 GTS-T rear brakes?

Yep all same callipers, pads, rotors. R33 has cast iron knuckle or hub and zed are alloy like GTR.

My roster is Grand Turismo 6 days a week and some Sundays.

When we get around to putting the VQ38 in the slot car it will fall over 500rwkw and alloy block and lighter component motor alone will be about 100KG lighter. Plus carbon Targa roofs nearly done, carbon tail gate and Perspex windows and lighten passenger door it should be a bit over 1100kg, throw in the PPG dog box still scaping money to pay for it. Throw in big aero, what do you say Bozman will be in the top 5 at least?

PS Sydney kid sent my softer rear springs yesterday, which will also help.

Should run 9's on radials then, Johnnie!

its all fresh, and has been clearanced, standard stroke 5.7 ls1. 11:1 comp, the asuall stuff. Running a really agressive roller camshaft, longer rocker arms and rocker gear to suit. thats it. they are really very simple. My tuner is confident of mid 350kw @ the wheels and 550-600nm torque. running the tremec with Jim Berry ceramic clutch and 4.3:1 GTR diff.

You would be open, yeah. But within the V8 sub-class.

What are the specs on the LS1 you've got in there?

Far out John you must be a gold lotto winner or the most dedicated track junki around as i recall some talk about you not getting paid to drive cars for a living :( . Dont take it the wrong way as i am by no means having a dig at you but that is a lot of track time and would make it hard for even the most dedicated weekend warrior to get in as much practice as you get you lucky bugger . You sure have the schedual most of us can only dream of though. What else can i say but i am jealious :D

I didt realise you were building a Chev powered R32. Very cool! I have often dreamed about such a creation, the only other engine i would consider instead of a chev would be a 20B, but Chev would be better long term prospect/

Cant wait to see the finished result!

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
