Did they inform you of the likely number of runs you'd get for the day? I would have thought they'd give you some idea how many runs you'd get (like track days). I know the competitors who paid something like $190 on Saturday only got 6 runs.

I'm guessing too that the $90 included the $25 day licence?

Saturday was funny. Some guy in a 180B did his burnout at the warm up area in preparation for his first timed run, and all I smelt was clutch. Poor guy couldn't get up the first section to the first turn. Rolled down the high backwards and failed trying again. Surely, he must have known his clutch was gone before he entered on the day. And he blew $190 odd. At least you made it up the hill to the finish line 5 times for $90. :P

nope, they didnt tell us what to expect. they did tell us they had over 100 particpants, from memory, somewhere around the 110 mark or more, when we were led to believe the max was 75.

and yes, the $90 included the day licence. even then, $65 for under 4 minutes of track time*? yeah, f**k that.

*im not counting time at the warm up pad or any of that as track time.

you might be onto something dame :thumbsup:

the march engine has a turbo and supercharger ;)

In 1988, Nissan launched a limited 10,000 unit run of its homologated Nissan 1989 March Superturbo (EK10GFR/GAR). Both this and the 1988 March R (EK10FR) featured the same highly advanced sequential compound charged (supercharger plus turbocharger) engine in an all-aluminium straight-4 930 cc 8-valve 4 cylinder Nissan MA MA09ERT unit that produced 110 PS JIS (81 kW/108 hp) at 6400 rpm.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
