im cool with that, but by the looks of it ill be competing against myself lol.

but it wont be an issue at this event as i am at F1.

still think its weird running a major amature motorsport event on the same weekend as F1 :)

That is motorsport. I agree.

If you cant stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.

I for one couldn't care if John or anyone else was competing in my category. If im a good enough competator then ill earn my position on the results table and thats where Id belong.

No use complaining because there is always going to be someone better/faster than you.

If im top 5 great if im bottom 5 well thats were I belong for the given day. Suck it and shake the winners hand and learn from it all.

No use changing classes to suit various Hybrid cars either.

Look at the rules, build the best car you can afford within the guidlines and go compete.

If my car passes to race at statelevel events, will it be elligable for this? not worried about the belts but I don't remember ever seeing an FIA stamp any where on the seat. Perhaps it is on the bottom.....haven't looked under ther in many years.

Motorsport is 1 where you jump in wilth all the big fish and you just have to see where ur all standing after all the BS stops at the end of the day. It might just be that you look down the list, and in your own mind strike off all thoes out of your walletts reach. Point is to enjoy the day and do your best.

LOL If that is the case then I should have bought Mark's and Russ's R32, hire a driver, over indulge with booze in the pit lane and still call it a sport :( If it's free to modify race class then why is there a need to exclude Lotus, Lofty, Mark/Russ, Garth Waldo/BEL into the pro class?

On a serious note, rules are generally developed for the success and survival of such event. If the rules are only designed such that people just want to enter for fun, then that fun will soon burn out and the event may be jeopardized. If the rules make everyone feel competitive then the rules promote more enthusiasms for everyone.

Having said that, all of the motorsport events I've entered were only for fun. I will try to bring my R32 GTR to the event. It is slightly modified, has a half cage and RE55s tyres so it will probably be in the open class. If fund permits I will try to hire a stirrer for my turbocharged s2k as well. However I do feel unfair for the other owner-driver to have such experienced driver in their class. That's why I suggested the open class subcategories of driver-owner/hired drivers or may be a semislick/street tyres subcategories in the supersprint class.

Queenslanders, has anyone got connection with a car transport company? What would it cost per car if we all chip in to hire a multi cars carrier/truck for the superlap weekend?

you are all a bunch of sooks!

who gives a sh1t about the rules/classes etc as what ever they make them they wont please everybody.

treat it as a track day, have some fun and come out on the piss afterwards.

getting your arse whipped every now and then is character building.

the best part is you can run EC on Sat. then OP sunday....what a weekend!

exactly what I'm doing. Signed up for Autosport's EC track day last week as soon as I saw the date for Superlap.

any news about Oran getting hired out pre the event? Saturday or the Friday?

That would be great if it could happen.

If not, EC on Sat. then OP on Sun. would be cool too!

Any details of the EC track day guys? A link?

I have a good connection, how many cars you thinking? Mine's out as I'm F1-ing.

ok, I have a friend with an interstate trucking business, ranging from flat beds to a race car friendly B-Double that can load seven cars and all their support gear, including very low cars.

The sooner you work out what you need sooner we can solidify it. I'd suggest contact Giant, he loves towing especially in his new 'Cruiser, but he may want to add two cars into the fold?

Ad maybe Harry, Evo Cam too? I'll leave it to you guys :)

talking it up like that is kinda asking for a breakdown, but I've driven it to a Wakefield track day as well as Superlap last year, and half a dozen local events without any issues. Stock Supras don't breakdown. As long as I can stop the tyre rubbing through the main wiring loom (so far its only taken out the ABS and traction control, so its no biggie) I'll be alright I think!

the bumps in the midlle of the kink and one in the downhill left hander after the bridge at Lakeside make the front right rub on the wiring loom diretly above it... I've already raised it up 10mm at the front, but it still rubs. I'm hoping a pair of swaybars will stop it - I don't want to go any higher.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
