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!

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
