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.

Cool. I've just entered now. See how we go...

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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
