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!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
