Not sure if natsoft will upload quick enough through out the day..But will talk to Timing about this

Pretty sure there will be updates on the Superlap website throughout the day...But if not will also chat to the guys about this..

This thread is moving too quickly now.

In relation to the updates, even if it is via email to a central list it would be great. Agree with the natsoft as think it will be too late.

I assume, perhaps wrongly that whilst there are no doubt going to be great drivers punting very fast cars, I assumed that the drivers would be a 1 second gap to a professional driver, so that is another reason why i think they will be a tad slower then the V8 Supercars. Will be great if i was wrong though!

Have you seen David Empringham's page for example at http://www.wynns.net/wpcd_empringham.aspx ? ...

BRIEF DRIVING HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS

2009: Buttonwillow Superlap / Time Attack - 1st Place Overall

2007: Grand Am - Daytona Koni Challenge - 1st Place

2005: Grand Am Koni Champion

2003: Daytona 24 HR - DP - 1st Place and Pole Position

Now put a driver with experience like that into a car like this ...

... then add to that the cars from Japan and their drivers, and the Australian cars and drivers, and the other US cars and US drivers, and you can get an indication of how fast this event is going to be and what a challenge it is going to be.

There are going to be a lot of very fast drivers in very fast cars.

no matter how good the o/s drivers are, a day or 2 practice at EC will be a second, and 5-10 years practice at EC is another second. As I said earlier I am really surprised they are not out practicing all the time given the amount of money invested in the cars and getting them here.

the interesting thing about this year is we know or can make good educated guessesabout how quick the local cars will go because they have lots of recorded lap times to check.....

thanks guy's, the car looks awesome!! we are just trying to set a high std so the internationals dont think we are hillbilly's :(:banana::banana:

yeah it looks great mate. I hope it's going really well. unfortunately they will definitely think we are hill billys anyway, I mean compare eastern creek to fuji speedway.... :( our tracks look like they were built on farm land next to garbage tips... wait a minute, they were..... still they won't be laughing too much as you round them up under brakes at turn 2.... :cool:

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
