Anyone game enough to go on record as to who the early favourites are for this event? So much impressive hardware in Pro class, but how do they all compare? From what I can gather, the local boys have still got a bit of work to do to compete with some of the Jap and US entries.

Will the home ground advantage amount to much?

PanSpeed RX7 - go the RWDs!

If they can get the car sorted, I'm going with Mark.

If not, maybe Sierra Sierra...

The Sierra Sierra car is going to be quick.

But I'd absolutely love to see this car win :) ...

Hi All,

Checkout the photos posted today on Superlap.com.au of the Cyber Evo.

According to the Superlap website ...

"While other teams are at the track testing suspension modifications or on the dyno squeezing more horsepower out of their engines, team Cyber Evo have been spending countless hours at Mie university Japan where the aerodynamicists at Voltex have been wind tunnel testing the new aero package.

The aero on a big track like Eastern Creek is sure to play a huge part and with speeds approaching 300km/h at the end of the main straight, this may well be money well spent."

Just so you all know, I got a reply from Ian CEO at superlap saying its a no alcohol event (unless your in the VIP room and paying at the bar) and no bbqs allowed unless they are electric....

this just proves it

Hi All,

The video from the recent test day at Eastern Creek with Mark Berry's R34 which we sponsor has been featured on Speedhunters here ...

Gee, sounds like somebody's girlfriend left him for an Australian! No reason to attack a car that is effectively a privateer effort being driven by its owner, who happens to be the same guy building it. Hmm, how do i go about posting on Speedhunters :)

Gee Zuz that quote about is a wild rant! I wonder where he got the idea that Berry is somehow cocky of a win? Because I can absolute assure you, he's far from it! In fact, we know we need to find seconds, not tenths, to compete with the fast guys.

Having only just got some form of 4WD in the car it's now a rush to get it programmed correctly, and to get Hollywood's crashed 32 back together for him to fly in and enjoy.

I'd like to smack the quote guy right in the mouth.

One of the comments on that page reads ...

We'll simply let the R34's lap time at World Time Attack do the talking.

The fact that a car that was built by Mark in his shed at home and is driven by the guy who built it is a massive achievement in itself, let alone that it can compete with some of the fastest cars on the planet.

There is an article with more photos from the test day here ...

I for one am absolutely looking forward to the R34 showing the world what aussies can do.

Bring on May 21 !

please do not get me wrong in saying this... i absolutely love this car to bits... and full credit to the mark and everyone whos helped him along the way... with the 4wd sorted out... it will be an animal..

but..

i can see where this guy is coming from... that video should never have been posted, on here, maybe, as we all know the story behind it, but not on the interweb. It does look scrappy, it looks terrible actually. the japs and seppos are probably pissing themselves given that this is the flagship car for aus, and 2 months out from its home event it looks like that, worse than that though, it doesnt look like much has improved from last year's superlap.

and remember folks, that the cyber evo was built in something not much bigger then a single car garage... and by a dentist... it has an estimated power level similar to the GTR... yet from a 2.2L 4cyl which has unbelievable response and acceleration.. the r34 has an 3L.

to say that the hi octane gtr is built by mark himself in his shed at home, that doesnt make it an underdog... average joes building extremely tight budget shitters are the underdogs... this GTR has had more money thrown at it than i can be bothered to count up. that is a simple fact... the bodykit and aero alone cost more than i care to think of.

watching the vids of the other cars... they all have obscence power levels... yet they look calm and composed on the limit.. they can slide them through the corners and power on with precision and control... the video of the R34 at eastern creek looks like its about to whip around and bite.. under brakes, under power, and mid corner..

so in short... we all know what the r34 is capable of.... and we are all in full support of it and hope it knocks em dead...

but based on the video alone.. i cant help but agree with whoever posted that response..

now... so no alcohol... thats fine... no bbqs... thats ok... but can i bring a picnic??

Hey Linton, I'd think you'd be suprised to know how much this car didn't cost. Assumptions are dangerous and your statement re "the bodykit and aero alone cost more than i care to think of." shows you know zero. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

I concurr (as does Mark) that the car is behaving ugly as sin. That's why he works until 2am every night after work on it in his back shed measuring 10 x 6 metres. And at no point has Mark himself claimed he's going to kick anyone's butt, he's a very humble guy, and knows just how quick these overseas cars are. Heck, every time we talk about them his eyes light up like a school kids with amazement.

As for the video "that video should never have been posted", well, that's not up to Mark, thats a sponsor's decision. The sponsors of the event need to summon some interest for the event somehow. Would you have prefered static pictures of Eastern Creek's grandstands?

I'm certain other teams entered and present at the event will not have the same dim witted outlook of Mark's car that this particular Speadhunters drongo does.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
