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) :happy:

Me too mate, great things to drive :P

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. :happy:

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.

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 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.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
