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.

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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
