Yeah you're right, all my bolt ons will have them shaking, China 'cooler, gtr injectors, and an FC..... bet they're shittin now! :)

I just pooped my pants... because you're car lasts more than one lap :D

good to see prices have come down!

but yeah, considering therers that European car club event for 4 hours @ night for 345 bucks.....superlap over two days for clubsprint does seem a bargain!!!

I'll hopefully be an official in pit lane :P (cough jess pitlane plz cough cough)

We need to have something to say we are all from here and meet up and have beers, like an SAU superlap shirt or singlet made up!

the new prices arnt really cheaper! that entry dosnt include any pit crew passes so $675 + 3 crew a $100 for the weekend = $975

all they did was make it look better the initial cost i like the last cost $88o and 3 pit crew passes for the weekend!

Again, it comes down to the costs of hosting this event, several hundred thousands of dollars is my guess, and somehow these costs need to be recouped.

I see no problem with crew being charged an entry fee, after all they get complete access and are of course spectators also.

Most major events I go to the crew registration attracts some form of monetary charge.

all im saying is if ppl realize they are now going to be paying more than if they kept there mounts shut and paid the $880 first up.

fair enough if you have no friends and your going by yourself it will work out cheaper for you.

well personally i thought the original pricing was spot on considering the type of event and what's included (entry, crew passes etc). but clearly lots of folk complained and they got what they asked for!

Exactly!

too true!

Hey BB would a fairly powerful (600hp or so), well sorted 32/33/34 GTR with a good driver stand a chance in clubsprint? No I'm not thinking of entering, I said GOOD driver lol...

just curious if anyone will be able to give the 35's a scare... my hunch is no but never hurts to bring up controversial topics hehehe

the biggest factor will be tyres i reckon

No chance, unless someone like Bozman was driving the 32/33/34.

The R35's will dominate!!!! :D

it would be pretty tough. the problem is tyres. (like LSX said). a 32/33/34 with 600hp really needs semis to get it down and run some good times. they are just too heavy and too powerful for high performance road tyres. The R35 has a bit of advantage as it has 500hp from the factory and it's factory tyres are chosen around that power figure. the 32/33/34 came with 280hp....

I think the key in clubsprint (apart from a nice R35) will be something fairly light, with decent but fairly humble power output (compared to the pro class guys) and getting the most out of it's chassis to work with whatever road tyres it's stuck on. look at cars like the S2000 that did well before. fairly light car, decent power, good chassis. GTRs on road tyres just do not have the corner speed to get the times down and no amount of power will help them. Any GTR with 600hp should just go in pro class where they can use tyres that suit. :)

for clubsprint I reckon something like a well prepped S14 or S15 with around 300rwkw, very light body and lots of time spent setting up the suspension with the road tyres would be a good contender.

good stuff mate. they should just about re-name 'clubsprint class' to the 'R35 Cup'.... lol.

good thing there's classes for RWD and stuff as well!

realisticly I dont think any 2wd vehicle has a chance against a good AWD vehicle in Clubsprint. Anytime where cars are traction/grip limited (eg in the wet, or when forced to run street tyres) AWD is a massive advantage. If you want to challenge the R35 in clubsprint, then a modified EVO is the only way to go IMO

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
