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 :(

Sounds about right lol

I'd like to see the Hi Octane 34 win the day but being a betting man Id be putting my money on the Tomei/Cusco WRX.

I've seen this thing in japan and it did win at Tsukuba last year and Tarzan has had plenty of driving outside of Jappa, so shouldnt get flustered by a goat track.

Will be an interesting couple of days.

Good luck to those competing and heres hoping this is the start of World Time attack tour !

I seriously doubt the other USA teams even got loaded on a boat. I would think they wouldv'e withdrawn from the competition before shipping the cars some weeks ago.

The superlap website doesn't mention anything about withdrawal of the teams, but if you check the entry list in Pro Class, there is only one USA car - i.e. Sierra Sierra Evo.

Perhaps Superlap organisers felt it would hurt their ticket sales or event turnout if they announced any withdrawals??

Having said that, I know in motorsport things don't always work out but would think overseas teams pulled out weeks ago.

I hope not, they can be sued for false advertising :P but who is going to do that when a two day ticket only cost $60? :ninja: Bah that scion sounded like it was made up anyway and the nsx couldn't stand a chance.

But John's 300zx looked like it could play catch...its still going to be an awesome event.

If anyone wants to sling me a few bucks I'll gladly drive your car if it's wet.

I walked the infield when I was there a few weeks back and have worked out where heaps of time can be shaved.

I'm assuming having a navigator in the car is ok? I'll need someone to open the gate.

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
