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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
