Not a skyline but is a car that i get to drive from time to time. My Skyline was entered but just refused to go to this one.... So with some negotiation I got to take the cop car for a spin. I also wanted to show you guys the fastest and most open Street Sprint we have up here. The track is in the sleepy little town of Oakey, just over 1 hour from Warwick, just west of Toowoomba. Craig weston pulled 2nd outright in his 32gtr from Ray Vandacey's Skelta, 3rd was a 351 escort sportsedan, 4th datto 1200 2A closed sports with a turbo & supercharged 4A, 5th a GT2 porsche, 6th My cop car on all nissan suspension, 7th Jason Black Nc BDA escort, 8th supercart, 9th Evil 4, 10th Off chops WRX. We did ok.

Might as well post some of my in car from PI a few weeks ago....

First is my new PB lap....the fist pump at the start finish line at the start of the lap was when I saw a high 47 flash up on my previous lap ;)

and this is a collection of some overtaking. First part is me trying to overtake a big single turbo R34 down the straight only to be passed like I was standing still by a 6.6ltr V8 powered 260Z ....middle part is me catching and passing a GT3 cup car and last part is an ex(?)-V8 supercar - we came out of the last corner side by side only for him to pull away down the straight using ubber killerwasps. Two corners later his lead disppeared thanks to corner speed and I was able to overtake.

Enjoy

Posted this elsewhere but thought I would throw it in here...

Paul Stokell in my car at QR on the sprint track (yes I can hear the yawns already lol)

53.48 with some casual water in the dipper and on crusty old second hand slicks

my favourite part is Paul's inside manoeuvre at Turn 1 (4:55)

I managed a 53.9 today, dry track (crusty second hand slicks also) and not that pretty a lap. caught myself out braking too deep into turn 5 whilst watched Aaron Hodges in his crazy Escort park it in the dirt at the hairpin of turn 6 (1:45-1:50)

yeah, all my Vbox timed laps are usually 0.3 - 0.5 off the QR system. But I don't get too upset as I assume everyone gets the same error, as long as the error is in the same direction!

not sure though how this works for accumulated laps though. imagine 0.5sec over 5-10 laps..... QR must be able to bend the space/time continuum.

I posted my Vbox times though as this is what I compare to Paul's benchmark.

The S7 Michelin compound we used today was second hand and went off in the arvo session like you wouldnt believe. Arvo session times were over a second a lap down on the morning session despite some cleaner driver.

nice work mate. looks like you must be punching out somewhere between 250 and 300awkw? not sure if the cup car was a 997 or 996 but the 996s only have high 200s (anywhere from 260-290kw) at the rears but they are a bit lighter than us but still the way it pulled away on the straight makes it look like you're doing a lot with what you have. :D

how fking quick was that zed too!!! he must have pushed the warp speed pedal next to the accelerator...

Thanks Baron and you are spot on re the firepower - last dynoed between 270-280 rwkw at Racepace (have to dig out the print to be sure) mid year. Entry list doesn't specify year of cup car so would have to check photos to work out the year - at the end of the day I'm just happy to put in a faster time than a cup car on slicks even if it is just driver related :D

As for the zed, a quick internet search has rumours of the 6.6litre V8 under the hood being an ex nascar engine pumping out around 700hp :bunny:

yeah I thought 996 cup car too. but they are still bullshit quick. like I said pretty limited in the power stakes (similar to your GTR ant) but with a purpose built motorsport chassis (chassis is built with cage integrated from the factory), much lighter and of course slicks etc. I have driven one and they are a serious piece of gear.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
