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 ;)

YAY Superlap Week is finally here!!!

Sierra Sierra Evo is simply gorgeous with all its carbon..I dont think you can fit any more carbon on it lol Stunningly presented car upclose!

Tomei/Cusco WRX is super low and like nothing I have seen before. Fascinating to see how the other worlds set up there cars!

Seriously Cool.........Cant wait to hear them on the track!!

Bring on FRIDAY!!! Whoop Whoop!!!

yes mate, any recorded time over your sessions can win it,

being ready at the right time to take full advantage of weather is a super important part of strategy then... this will be exciting to see unfold!

Tomei/Cusco WRX is super low and like nothing I have seen before. Fascinating to see how the other worlds set up there cars!

the japs..... they know!!

super low is super good... anything more than 2" off the ground is just plain unacceptable.

not sure how it will handle the goat track though.. but hey... in 3 days... we shall find out.

wooooohooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does anyone know how many tickets have been sold???

also... is there anything i should make sure i have recieved at the gate as a spectator??? last year the mrs and i got whisked away because we didnt recieve wrist bands when we entered... thanks to the SAU gate officials 2009.

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??

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • 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
