Saw some of these cars passing me like I was standing still the weekend before this on the test and tune day, awsome things. I was in the white 32 GTR with the SAU WA sticker's in the qtr windows

Ah ,yes I was driving the Blue United Oil Series 6 RX7

I remember seeing you there.

Where can i read more about Kerry Wade's R32 GTSt?

Not sure I think its all kept pretty close to their chest!

I know its a R32 GTST with a twin turbo RB26 in it.

All cars run the PPG straight cut do box 5 speed.

we have limits on wieght/tyre size.

My RX7 is 1210kg with 16x7 inch rims, 225/50/16 Bridgestone RE55 control tyre.

i went down and checked this event out with a mate and damn it looks like awesome fun, im building a 32 gtr up for track and was interested in joining up but speaking to a few drivers and costs seem to go through the roof doing these sorts of events, they all said dont bother unless u run a dry sump for a start :thumbsup: I could get the car specs as good as most, but the ongoing costs seem to be alot more than i imagined.

The late model rx7s including yours kingscorp are the best base for this type of track work going by what i saw on the weekend, they seem to be soo competitive in all motorsport to be honest, the little rotors dont get enough credit in my book. They also sound awesome in person definately one of my favourites. Wade's r32 is right up there too, we left before the last race, who ended up winning that one in your class scorp?

great racing guys, good dicing and a little rubbing but nothing silly. I like the look of the gtst's interior too lol.

unique1...sorry to say there's no such thing as cheap racing. I stuck to production cars to keep the costs down but its still a real big step up from a club car and supersprints. If you can't spend enough you will just end up at the back (or in the paddock) no matter what class it is.

All i want to know is what suspension and power is the GTSt making. I have been thinking about a PPG gearbox, but they dont make a gearset for the R32 GTSt box :cool: A good gearbox is cheaper then a bigger engine and power that jsut stresses everything else on the car

It would be a genuine 450rwhp as are all the front running cars you see in the footage. I would say its a R33 GTST gearbox, it is definatly a PPG gear set

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
