John, Why dont you drive it?

Actually - Duncan will drive yours and I'll drive Duncans!!!

Why, because JB is at least a second faster than me, and easiest second I wil ever get. I am not slow he is a freak and does it more so. I drove it 13 track days last year, so plenty of fun. As a business and representing my company it would be a luxury for me to drive it at this event. Apart from Mark Berry how many cars in pro class are driven by the owner???

Duncan drives it no probs and lucky fats won't fit in it. I could not deal with Pete being faster than me also.

Engine swap on the way VQ30 100kg lighter, there is asecond or two straight off.

What about one of those stroker kits out of th eUS for the VQ35, dont they get them out to 4.2L or something truly silly ?

Yes Bris but cost and don't need to much more power but it would be nice. Cubes equals torque.

Check this out.

Superlap info from USA SIte.

The Cyber Evo or whatever it's called is gonna be nuts fast. Do not miss it!

Also, Giants 34 is undergoing some mild mods in an effort to make it faster still, keep your eyes peeled :) And yes, getting the 4WD to work is also high on the priority list. haha

Sierra Sierra is coming from the states (and they will be quick) don't think any UK cars are coming. we would love to have had the M-speed GTR here and tried. there are a few good japanese cars coming, and yes there will be some other serious GTRs there. The "old" Hi-octane GTR (the black 32) should be back with a few mods since last time it was there. some pretty tasty mods at that. and like marlin said Mark is working away on the 34 so that it should be quicker too (don't forget it's already well into the 1 minute 30 second range at EC!!). It's going to be a great event.

I might need to get serious then. This will be MASSIVE. Especially with Baron turning up.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      @silviaz  Maybe have a play with dry guide coat and using the compressor liberally and report back if its working better for you.

      It's just that it looks like it's all gone dry, but when you wet it the different materials darken differently and you can see the traces of the remaining guide coat, which are otherwise too thin to see when dry.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Experience has shown that trying to get the simple boost controllers (I have a Profec) set up on the dyno leads to needing to do it all on the road again afterwards. The dyno load is sufficiently different that the gain always ends up wrong and the start boost is wrong, and it ends up surging. Not compressor surge - just overboosting and carrying on. People are probably somewhat acustomed to the modern reality of Haltechs, et al, controlling to a closed loop target.** It's no skin off my nose. The dyno is easily accessible for the little extra tuning that will be required afterwards. And as you say - I stand to gain some useful info. ** On that subject, the idea of torque modelling/targetting is apparently a big OEM thing now. Look at Jason's Engineering Explained YT video on the new Corvette's turbo control system. This sort of thing would appear to be quite achievable in modern aftermarket ECUs, I should think. Is this what people are already doing to avoid the "boost target is 20 psi and I'm going to get there even though the throttle is only 50% open!!!" that I imagine simpler closed loop control would yield?

      I'm confused, so your saying after blowing the area off, the guide coat is gone. But then when you wipe it down, the guide coat residue becomes visible again? This isn't a trick question like there is guide coat residue on the rag that your wiping the area down with?  I cant see how once something is removed, it comes back when cleaning with wax and grease removed?
