The Alford GTR will be competing in Support of the V8's in the Australian GT series

http://www.australiangt.com.au/_assets/ENT...%20BATHURST.pdf

Should be a great class battle between the Z06, GTR and Exige. Last time At EC the Exige came out on top

My money will be on a clean sweep by Wall in the Cup S (but then again i am biased towards this team).

However with the amount of restriction on the 997 the lambo's will be strong. Viper will be unstoppable down the straights and the Aston shouldn't be too slow either so should be a good weekend of racing .

Better than the taxi's at least

Oh also forgot races will be televised :)

Seen the exige up close quite recently, real nice car. I know the Chief Engineer. Watch out for it, they have done something special to it.

Having both R35 and highly moded Exige (240R spec) in my Garage...

I can't see the Exige winning over an R35 in the Prod Class on anything but the smallest of tracks ....as the Exige just does not have the legs.....

But hey.......all it takes is some talented driver and one Exige getting trashed to an inch of implosion.

wonder what sort of handicaps each competitor runs?

Its a case by case situation.

The Wall Cup S has everything under the sun short of having to tow a caravan to slow it down. To a point where it was dangerous (and outside FIA regs at the Clipsal)

So the more success = Greater restrictions on the car.

My Bad, I misunderstood the classes. I didn't read whiplash's original post properly about the production class. :ermm:

The car I am talking about is the Elise GT3 car in the championship not production class.

Go the GTR in production class :rant:

Them is some pretty hopeless lap times for an R35. Was it raining?

You will remember that Luff ran a Bathurst lap time in a bog stock Aussie R35, wearing Bridgestones,

on a damp track, requiring him to brake and lose 50km/h before entering the chase.

He still ran a 2:25.

What gives? I would expected better from a stock GT-R, let alone a race prepped one.

No nissan pulled out of being the safety car.

V8 supercar want the GTR to be painted in XXXX colours and nissan refused to have the "safety" car linked with alcohol. Fair enough i say, so Nissan took the car back and now AUDI supply the safety car

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
