Its just about time for the biggest Motor race in the world - the ADAC Zurich 24HR. 280 cars across multiple classes with Porsche, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW down to VW, Fiat all fighting it out on the worlds greatest track

from my count there is around 7 Australian (out of the 280) entries, everything from 997RSR porsche's (VIP petfoods & Juniper) down to mitsubishi Mirage's. Ric Shaw is back again in the RX7 who finished in the top 50 last year

The new Lexus LF-A will make its track debut with a full factory backed team and all the test drivers (who have been doing countless laps of the track). It will be interesting to see if the test times are able to be reproduced especially as it will be running the higher down force package

non of the nissan faithful have upgraded to the new GTR yet and will still be running 350Z's this year. The faulken team has a new GTR chassis that they are working, and want plenty of testing ect before taking it to the track for a long hard endurance race

I'll post up some live stream and timing when they are released.

yeah i noticed dean was driving the GT3

Its a great event to watch! i have watched the past 2 in Dubai run by the same company that run the 24hr series.

And i could even enter the old crap box i call a race car as they have a local section in the dubai event, but sadly will be driving our evo project car which will be lots of fun i reckon.

44 Rose, Mal Leemhuis, Peter Alford, Anthony AUS Commodore SP 8 Holden

Go donut king!

Go Pete!

Will be watching these guys with interest- Pete certainly knows how to steer and is a bloody nice guy on top of all of that. Deserves to get a good result because he has the right approach to racing. He defintely had the mindset of an enduro driver so expect these guys to do well.

well i now have even more respect for the Alzen boys who are competing at the Carrera cup round at the Monaco GP and the 24Hr on the same weekend.

Flying between the 2 tracks would be a bitch little own being in the middle of a 24Hr race at the toughest track in the world.

The car is powered by the same 224kW 2.0 TFSI engine as used in last year’s class winning Golf GTi hatch entry and features a DSG gearbox with steering wheel mounted shift paddles.

I agree i love the look of the car, should be good over the 24Hr period

I'm entering the Hiace, soon as the LPG, cruise control and dvd screen are fitted i'll fill in the rego forms - just need a couple of drivers?

Won't have to stop for tyres or brakes just a couple of tanks of LPG and maybe an aircon regas to keep cabin temps icy cold :w00t:

I guarantee I won't come last!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
