Superlap 2010 Ramblings

[Deano45]

Is spectators allow? If so how much is gate entry ticket? Anyone know a decent hotel near by?

Thanks

go to superlap.com.au and the prices are there. If you order them online before the 13th you get a discount on entry.

no idea on hotels around there.

its easy solved just run less front torque. the rear diffs are pretty much indestructable (only about 5% smaller than ford 9") and the driveshafts are OK but casn be upgraded.

the problem is....the more fwd, the quicker they go....so in an event like this they have to run 50/50 and hope for the best.

plenty of options for driveshafts, just jap even have billet stuff on the shelf. its the front diff that is the big issue.

where is lofty....how are you guys going with front diffs....you guys have by far the most experience with trying to put big power thru the front in circuit use.

bingo! duncan has hit it.. like you say it's easy fixed by less front drive and kinder shaft angles but then you'd end up with a standard height GTR with lots of oversteer and nice and slow...

like lofty obviously knows too basically the more front drive you can dial in the faster you go. downside is cvs breaking and if you beef them up then expect to bust a front diff or two out of the case (marks done that before but not in the 34). and with the front diff being housed in the sump assembly it's not something you can easily strengthen. maybe a full custom CNC billet sump would do it but fark I can't imagine the complexity of machining and the cost. my god man the cost!

everyone has been there and done it. garage saurus run their famous orange time attack GTR in full time 50/50. wont tell me how they get diffs to last but I imagine they limit front drive under braking too like dave explained.

as benno says mark has it well sussed with a similar system. this particular failure could be down to anything.

I hear the Panspeed RX7 is in a container and on its way, after receiving a nice freshen up, including a new Hollinger (replacing the Hewland)

Mmmm so nice! I have so much love for the FD's still

[Marlin]

Me too mate, great things to drive

We're on the hunt for somewhere to test Hollywood's 32 after it's rebuild and new Hollinger in a couple of weeks. Lakeside or Morgan Park most likely. I'll make a point of checking the brakes too.

[NickR33]

is that the Panspeed FD with the N/A 20B?

[hrd-hr30]

go the RWDs! The RX7s are carrying my hopes! Will be intersting to see how the NSX goes too. but the 900-1000bhp falcon I can't imagine being very competitive. Would have been better off keeping the V8 donk and spend as much time as possible tuning the car on those tyres at Eastern Creek I reckon, rather then building and fitting a kick ass I6 turbo motor.

And it would have been nice to have a NA V8 in Pro class.

Im suprised they're letting a supercar enter, but not the porkas, lotus etc....i mean if they are gonna let the falcon in, by rights they should let a Mosler in or a porka GT3 RSR

[Beer Baron]

pan speed RX7 is turbo, not NA 20B.

the pan speed car is one of my favourites. some pics I took of it at a Tsukuba hyper rev event. they are nice guys too.

I love the interior!

one nasty rear end!

I reckon the pan speed RX7 will be in the top 5 for sure. it's a very quick car and a good team behind it. It will be one of the quickest RWD that's for sure.

[zebra]

I hope tthe PanSpeed boys crank the boost on the t04z for EC

[Beer Baron]

no question they will put in a big effort.

They apparently reckon larger tracks like EC will suit their car much better than little goat tracks like tsukuba.

[Force Fed]

wow Richard, those are awesome pictures! Will be one epic event, and a lot of drinking for us gtiroz kids!

[NickR33]

ignore me I was thinking of the Re Amemiya car... its kinda the same colour

that thing is much more serious, should be quick

I am currenlty buying a good sound system for my car. Listening to Pat Benatar at full noise is bound to shave off the tenths

LOL.

Noise is my concern. I got chucked off on sunday for excess noise, in a car I've made no changes to and have been there a bazzillion plus times with. :[
