I'm keen to see how Sams car stacks up against the other 2 R32's. That should be pretty interesting.

So shall we start a book now for the odds on Brisby actually making it.

No chance in hell currently leads the odds @ $1.01

I was going to do F1, but being OS for so long means if back in Aus I should catch up with family in Sydney..so family=Sydney so works out. Plus this will probably be the last time i ever get to drive Oran Park, so have to fire up the cameras and record the prodigous binning so i can win some white goods on Funniest Home Videa :yes: Cans after Superlap watching the GP sounds like a good compromise....now just to work out some Indian financial rort to pay for all this :D

Thats an easy bet. I will take it. More meaningful would be will the car be ready 12 days before the event or 12 hours :D

Bah - when are cars ever ready early in advance. I'm 2 weeks out from heading to tas for my 1st ever Rally and Benno hasn't even started fixing all the broken stuff on the car from July yet. Everything (including the engine out to fix the diff) needs to be done next week so I can do everything else the following Tuesday (as Mon is a public hoiliday) before I go on the ship on the Wed.

Team last minute FTW!

Some slower cars too...lol. Will be a question of working out the cars in your session and trying to pace yourself to them...can burn a lot of time at OP letting quicker cars through :D

Whats the cap on numbers?

Actual times from last year below. Most should be faster this next one pending weather and track conditions?

Superlap 2008

Just sent my entry for Open class in today. Sold my old CA18DET Datto 1200 track car the end of last year and I pick up my new toy this weekend. I had been thinking that the same engine in a Silvia or 180SX would be faster thanks mainly to the more sophisticated and tuneable rear suspension and the quicker steering, combined with the slippery shape I think that will more than make up for the little bit of extra weight they carry. I found a sileighty with all the right bits and pieces that just needs a bit of a tidyup and maybe a few minor suspension tweaks. Dave at Japanese Parts and Performance has been very helpful throwing in a few things I needed and organising the tune with Matty Spry from PITS. Can't wait to get it on the track!

team up sabotaging that S2000 then see who does the best job on each other's car eh?

maybe we should just hog-tie Boz and throw him in your boot. I don't want to be beaten by a WRX either... and we'll get to see if Boz really is quick in any car!

i think i might enter so i can see how my shit cars a r31 with positve camber and a fat bloke in it can beat!

solid rear end so its a drag car so should beat all the shit gtr's

(my car was built in newcastle so probably wont start on the day... farken r31!)

and its a skyline so should beat all those door chock shitta's zed car

im already blaming the coil packs for my shit 1:19 time... would have run faster if i bought new re-treads and learnt how to steer

ultimately in 3 years from now ill tell everyone i was running 1:13 even though i didnt even turn up to the event..no one will know beacaue the track is gone!..... and the bitches will flock to me!

and roy your gay arse rb20 and your reach around gear shifts are turning me on... look forward to tyre shinning your rear tyres!

got that right...just as a precaution i build my engines in Lake Macquarie and my cars in Port Stephens.

Newy cars are crap!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
