isn't that Friday the 21st? competition Saturday 22nd?

Now im confused - from the assigned 5 sessions - surely a couple of these would be practice and surely on the Fri? or maybe 1 session per day?

Thanks for that Steve. Pity there isn't one closer though, was really hoping for an open day on the 19th/20th.

Harry: I think both days are competition mate. I was hoping to get a good day in prior.

Some bling bits just arrived for The SLot Car.

We discovered this billet alloy dry sump set up made in USA for our VQ30 twin turbo motor we are fitting. It is a girdle, sump, oil air separator, dry sump pump and oil filter bracket all in one. THe motor will be more reliable, help piston rings seal better, less drag for crank, both indirectly making more free power. so more power, less weight in front, as oil tank will go in left rear of the car. Also allows us to move the engine further back and lower, lowering the weight in the car, allows us to raise the steering rack to get rid of bump steer, rather than spacing the outer steering pivot point down. It also allows us to run a better front air dam in under tray, as has more clearance.

The new motor should have us well under 1150kg and much better balance front to rear and left to right as mounting the oil tank left rear allowing us to remove 10kg of lead.

wow sub 1150kg sure is light! :P

When we do carbon fibre tailgate with Perspex window and carbon front bar, it will be well under 1100kg. Then have plans for building a 3.8 litre VQ with VQ35 crank and Darton Sleave kit, which we have, and will be easy 500plus rwkw, maybe for next year. Also have plans for custom Chrome Molly front suspension, getting rid of the heavy king pin and upright, this should save many kilos off the front suspension, through in traction control and looking at Ikea Sequential shift kit with ignition kill and we might only be a mile away from the big guns rather than miles.

There is a ARDC supersprint the weekend before on the 16th is a round of the CAMS Supersprint Championship, would be hard to enter unless you are registered in the Supersprint championship as you get first preference, but worth a shot. I will be running the Mazda R100. When i get entry forms will let people know and then you could contact the ARDC.

Thanks for that mate, would really appreciate it.

John: Z sounds like it's coming along nicely, should be even more of a weapon soon.

So I hear on the grapevine that the Scion is coming from the States!

It's apparently now up to 1200hp and has undergone a 4WD conversion with a custom billet alloy cased gearbox! I also hear he's flying the thing over! haha

I think the entry list is nearing 10 internationals, which would be awesome!

I was giving some private tuition to a couple of guys yesterday at the creek who are both running in clubsprint. Far out, there are some fast cars around. R33 GTR in clubsprint spec doing a 45.4 on a hot day is not mucking around. Also good to see Lofty out there with the BSM R32 GTR doing some serious testing. They were pulling 280kph down the chute and were well below the 40 sec bracket :D

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
