Basically, you give em $220, they give you a car for 4 races - no cams license or anything! top fun and a great way to see if you enjoy it.....

ok, combined touring cars are any car built to Group 3e (production car) specs.  2 other 3E series are (were) Procars Performance and Production car classes, only difference is they run on slicks.

Most of the field is Falcons and commonwhores 6 and 8, a familia, gtir, integras etc etc etc any damn thing you want really :rofl:

BTW check the first photo in the first gallery, thats me taking the daewoo down the inside of a commodore in a corner :D

How's that little poolsah do? Serving it up to the 'lines I'll bet!!

I may have to put the Alfa in daily drive duties and make the GTI-R a track car...

pfft, the puslar gets smashed of course :rofl:

nah, its all good, there are actually 5 classes and only teh gtrs and v8s are in the first class. so its quite possible to win no matter what sort of car you choose, the whole idea is to keep it close and cheap :D

but alfa racings also a good option if you already have one handy, I've seen a few of their races and they are pretty good too

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
