Hi All,

Following on the spectacular success of the SAU pit team at our last endurance race (thanks Neil, Toulia et all!), I'm looking for assistance for our next enduro.

At the state championship round at Oran Park on Sun 31 August, the daewoos will be having a 1 hour endurance race.

I need a highly skilled team who can work as a well oiled machine to change a tyre in under 60sec.

As well as free entry to the event and being part of a famous victory(!) you get to watch all the other state champ races (improved production, sports sedans, combined tourers, formula ford, formula vee, alfas, clubmans, AF2.)

Please post if you can help out.

Under 60 seconds is really pushing it!!! i've done it in 1m 4 seconds on a daewoo and 1m 15 on an HQ!

have you had a team do it this quick? i was in the team for car 50 in the wakefield 500!!! did you enter that event?

Roy, red900ss, benm, majanal, thanks for the offers guys, while this is a serious race, I'm sure it'll still be plenty of fun. B-man, only if you agree to hold an umbrella as well :rolleyes:.

I'm not sur what the format is yet, probably just 1 tyre change (no driver changes this time). I'll confirm as we get closer to the date. Do let me know if any of you can't make it though as I'll have to find replacements.

Craved, if you can do this in 64sec we'd love to have you on the team :D. Race laps will be around 1.34, so we need to come in the pits, change the tyre, back out again in under 1.30 so that we don't go down a lap. I'm not sure about the in and out times (but I will do some times next Sunday at the UAS day to get a feeling for it).

We did do the wakefield 500 (car 7), we were the rightful winners that were robbed by car 50 :)http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=10404

If we're roll playing F1 guru's then I'll play Adrian Newly. I'll bring some cardboard and give the daewoo a new aerodynamic package. Give it a "full sick bro!" wing with a "OMG bro!" front bar and the competition will be wondering what hit them! :)

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
