The PRO class list has not changed in a while, but the others are growing every week

Not sure why it would say updated 9th Jan 09.

Give Nathan from Superlap a call or send him an email if you are keen.

I have just entered another car, so it is not full yet.

i didnt realise the lotus your running is Jason Micaliffs. Was speaking to him yesterday afternoon and he was saying your good for at least a second a lap. Your a bit special Boz. Then i gave it to him a bit for not driving his own car lol. but its a serious event now and very competative.

Tested the Pulse Racing Subaru that I will be running in Open yesterday. A pretty fast thing indeed :D

Yep the Lotii's are not running in PRO.....written off, not ready etc etc

You people are all so well informed in this little world.

Yes one lotus, the yellow one, was written off.

The other one, the blue one, which did 1:12.0 last year to set FTD, yet somehow had the time voided after some whinging by other teams...... blah blah

.. the blue one was NEVER entered. Been there done that. For some reason we were put on the entry list. Not our doing. Perhaps the organisers wanted some variety??

We are sticking to production sports racing. Too much $ being thrown around on hand-grenade enigines here for us. You would be shocked of you actually compared the cost (both purchase and running) of our Lotus with these datsuns. our car is set up to run flat stick for 1-hour races, our engine is stock 9apart from the blower!), from a front-cut integra, and un-touched after two years of racing.

All the anti-lotus talk is interesting. Given that both the cars from last year were road registered and used wrecker engines, it's quite laughable to say it's unfair that 700hp GTR's shouldn't have to compete with 4-pot 2 litre tupperware containers on wheels.........

I wish you all well at Superlap. have fun.

OK :P

im not sure if its Skylines or Skyline owners that you havent got much time for, but im shore that in any class of racing someone is going to whinge about something....You can see why the GTR boys would be upset though, 1200hp 4WD, definately behind the eight ball.

those "cars with wrecker engines" as you call them still cost more than most of the datsuns so shut it with the trying to down play the obvious advantage of a race bred chassis with masive power upgrades and the overall weight of a fart in a bottle.

These datsuns all run datsun engines too. Trot ya gutless lotus out with its original engine intact and see how it fares against the dattos. Meanwhile, find the tissue box.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
