Last month at the Powerplay Imports day they were doing 1:09:5s - from memory that was a totally stock car, stock tyres etc...

My inital response was just going to be... "Quick!"... lol

Was it dry. That is a decent time...only i would have expected it to be 3 to 4 seconds quicker

hmm I don't know that they were the world's best driver, but I don't think it has another 3-4 seconds on those tyres, probably only 1 or 3. remember its only got about as much power as your average vic track gtr, and 300kg more.

Yeh i suppose the tyres could have been shagged. But looking at how quick they are in all the magazine comparisons...the 997 GT2 does 1:04s at Wakefield. Russ kicked butt at Superlap in his doing i think 1:15s or 1:16s which compared to what the other cars were doing and their respective times at Wakefield...well i would have expected at least 1:06s.

But yes, perhaps tyres were shagged

I don't think thats a decent time at all.

sub 10's is mediocre these days. You need 8's or better to be considered quick

The NA silvia i just bought has a best of 1:09.3 at wakefield (natsoft) on the old surface. It has 120 rwkw....

You're right to expect 6's roy

This car was at the Eastern Creek private practise day on Friday 24th.

Certainly was not very quick - or was not as quick as I expected. I actually overtook him underbrakes into turn 2. I think they were just testing as opposed to trying to go flat out as I imagine it would be alot quicker that that.

In the 4th session the cars motor blew! It was sitting on the grass and had dropped oil on the track. They cancelled the session as a result.

Not a cheap track day eh ?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
