Christ! 1.31.1 is moving! Lets see how much they have left in them. Any news on the pace of the RX7s?

thats absolutely stonking from the Sierra x 2 boys...Ive been confident they were going to go quick...so much in fact that i requested a Mitsubishi Lancer for my hire car this weekend.

a 1.31.1 is almost quicker than Benm's GTR 1/4 mile time next door. :ninja:

Session one just ended and top laptimes are like so:

1: Sierra Sierra Evo: 1:32.2480

2: Tomei Cusco Team Tarzan Impreza: 1.33.4080

3: R-Magic RX7: 1.33.5050

4: Pan Speed RX7: 1.33.6540

Both the Hi Octane R34 and Cyber Evo didn't set times. The Evo still has it's engine head off and we're told the team had to pull an all nighter last night... Nasty!

:Rod

Mark Skaife holds the V8 Touring car EC lap record with a 1 31.701..... thats slicked up, these guys are running treaded tyres :ninja:

Can someone at the track confirm the Sierra Sierra EVO motor is hanging out of it? I am interested to know if the rumour floating round is true lol No it didnt blow, they are getting serious and putting the 800hp motor in

Apparently Mark has done a head gasket (which is being fixed now) and Russ broke his engine in half.

Neither of them will run today. But the head gasket is being fixed now and a new engine for Russ is on its way down from Brisbane. Sounds like a long night ahead for them!

i have a couple of short engines ready on stands here in Newcastle...as well as two complete race heads if they are needed.

Nitto head gaskets as well...they certainly cured Superjet760's headgasket issues.

spewing about Mark and Russ :ninja:

Just spoke to Dave from the team...Marks headgasket is being replaced with a Nitto item big thanks to Andrew McIntosh from Nitto for helping the guys out and Russell's engine should not be too far away.

all good...sometimes trouble like this is a good omen...i know our car has always performed well when its made us work for it.

Big Show is so hard on the gear, I hope he can get the old girl back out there!

Whats the bet someone else is doing all the work on the car? Lol!

there was no updates on the superlap site which was a bummer and was checking natsoft all day waiting for the numbers. Ended up getting on the blower but would have been good is someone was on the twitter thingo and sending out updates to all. Aparently even at the track it was hard to understand which car was what as it had the drivers names and they were in big led's that was hard to read.

Can't wait for tomorrow

    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.  
    • Thanks, these seem to lay it out a bit differently. I will get back to you guys after i do some tests and more digging.
