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.... :P our tracks look like they were built on farm land next to garbage tips... wait a minute, they were.....

We got one of those tracks in Perth. Think it's called Barbagallo! :P

Is it the same car? The colour makes me want to ask if it is in any part Geoff Fears old GTR (What happened to that anyway?)

Ferds owns that car now, and AFAIK the IPRA car is still for sale.

Dave the car looks great and I suspect more has been developed there than just a paint job. You guys have been leaders in racing skylines in Australia for years including state and national titles where everyone said it could not be done.....I'd love to see you make a big impact on this event too.

All the best, my $2 are on you guys :P

I can see a good reason to think any number of the local cars will be quick. Dont know anything really about the OS cars to have a feel. They all look the part and no doubt if they are making the effort to cross the drink you would think that their preparation to the event is very thorough.

What sort of track temps to the guys as Tsukuba usually see. I know its cold late in the year, but is it cold all year round? Curious to see how their cars go if its a hot day with regards to how they work their tyres over a longer lap with longer radius corners. I suppose the single lap format may mean that higher temps will not really play havoc like if you went to Japan and simply could not get tyre temp in the 5 deg C?!?!?!?!?!!?

It will be an interesting event... I just hope that Russ in his RB20 powered sled can get the lil 32 into the 1:48s ;)

Provided the roll center has been fixed.

so fix the roll center...

looking at the pics of the tomei wrx front and rear suspension, and watching the clips of it around the track... id say they have the roll centre sorted...

Apparantly someone used bad language at a petrol station and its been noted as a possible terrorist attack and travel advices now say to restrict all non essential travel to Australia :ninja: So the Yanks are staying home :(

wtf!! i dont keep up with current events... sooo... are you for real??

wouldnt their cars have been on the slow boat like 6 weeks ago??

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
