Meh, i would feel like a tool if i had someone drive my car in Clubsprint. It would be a bit like courting a girl for months, spending thousands on dinners, weekends away and gifts. Then when she takes her panties off and says " do nasty things to me..." you jump on the phone and get the Beer Baron in to deflower her for you.

Even if i got it horribly wrong the 8 or 9 times i tried i bet i would still be having more fun then if watching Beer Baron reap rewards for my hard work!

I'm the same, but to each their own I guess! I want to know how fast I can go in my car, not just how fast my car can go.

However if it were a car respresenting my business then I could definitely understand a ring in for the added exposure of doing well, especially if the business has something to do with motorsport.

If it's a shop/business/company that wants good exposure and a good result by having a gun driver brought in, then they can run in Open or Pro class.

Clubsprint class should enforce the rule of matching name on registration paper with driver name. If not so, then you go into Open class.

Thinking about it, I think the essence of this event is more focussed toward the vehicle, as opposed to the vehicle owner's pace.

I can understand if a workshop want to demonstrate the relative pace of their modifications on a road tyred street car to it's best by utilising a good ring in driver, given in most workshop cases there isn't one on staff.

I think trying to police whom is driving what can get very difficult by the time everyone is wearing a helmet.

geez did a 35 driver shit in your cereal or something... your not a fan!

remember its early days with 35 tuning... wait til there's 1000hp monsters 4 wheel powersliding around the track;)

kind of sorta did..

Sounds like this event isn't for you, I'm sure there are heaps of drift events around where you can get your 'fix'.

And far as you having no idea, we won't hold it against you..... :D

1. not at eastern creek theres not

2. i love superlap.. i missed it the first year, i absolutly loved it last year, and cant wait for this year.. i just mean from a spectator, watching people get so close to the limit and really pushing themselves and the car for that very best time is awesome.. i remember last year watching the red r32 gtr, i think it was a rigoli car, lay 2 thick black lines on every exit of the final turn onto the main straight... not smoky, full countersteer, sideways drift... but it was scrabbling for traction and just gently heading for the wall...

and seeing the hi octane r34 with wisps of smoke from the rear tyres coming up and over the hill... he could go no faster and push no harder, 110% effort

the r35s are too clean and clinical... and quiet.

hahahaha... right on... wheres the fun factor for the guys that pay others to do all the work to their car, then get someone else to drive it.... although, on the other hand... im open to taking your money to buy parts and fit them for you, then thrash your car around the track for you... more than happy... hell, ill even drive it for free...

I think trying to police whom is driving what can get very difficult by the time everyone is wearing a helmet.

Yeah, dead right there. I guess people will know and see who's driving the wheels off their car, whether they be a ring in pro or owner driver.

I find at the track if you lay down a good time, people come and find out a bit about you and the car.

I was actually talking shit as always. :( You would be stoopid to give me the keys anyway :(

The only way i could possibly afford it is if my mate calls off the wedding in Scotland which means my June-July trip to Europe with the car gets called off. No way i could afford the airfares back to Aus and event entry only 4 weeks before :D LOl I am actually canvassing mates who want to come on this car trip...but worst case i will pick up a cheap hooker in Amsterdam to keep me company...hell she could be my date for the wedding too :)

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
