No - he was never in 2nd place, people are just looking at the wrong/last session times, not the aggregate / final results. Good effort nonetheless but evo's and gtr are in front.

Like i said if i missed the few session times looking at the last run of the day then woops. But the point is who would have thought a basic 2L rwd Nissan could be punted so quickly in what I expected to be a one make R35 show, with EVOs in tow. To be less then 2/10s of second place is a huge credit to the guy! He beat more EVOs and GTRs then beat him.

LSX-438, was that your best time on streets? It is absolutely moving to, curious to know what rubber you ran on, was it std Nissan rubbers? Is that about as good as you can get for the R35?

yes definitely well done to Jacky, only a blink in it for 2nd, 3rd and 4th. long way back to 1st.

it was my r35 in 2nd and i am full of excuses let me tell you... suffice to say the tires didnt work for me. i tried advan 285/30's which were too short (VDC didnt work at all) and also some shagged 20" bridgestones (even slower!). A new set of 20" dunlops would be faster but i dont think it would have bested Nick on the day somehow. Well done to Nick he improved his PB something like 2 seconds or so, amazing.

It was a great event, a big shock coming from slicks to genuine road tyres i can tell you. well done to the evo boys i think they won every class?

So what was everybodies favorite car,,,Mine was the Panspeed Rotary,,,Oh and John Boston's 180 lifting the inside wheel about a foot off the ground through turn 2. Nice work mate!!!.

Neil.

My favourite cars were the club sprint cars that actually looked like could be daily driven.

My least favourite cars were the NA Hondas with megaphones for exhausts.

This weekend was a real eye opener. I'm glad I made the drive down from Townsville to see this unfold. I really wanted to see how this all works so hopefully I can tow the GTR down next year. It really just shows the level of dedication some will go to to be competitive here. A credit to all the organsies and competitors and condolances go out to the S15 owner. It would break my heart if mine ever looked like that.

thanks to all the SAU members who dropped by and said hi, sorry i couldn't get to pop up to the tent. thanks to all that made what seemed like a unlimited feast of parts on call if needed.

Like everybody we have tales to tell and excuse books in hand but we came to do a low 1.36 and went away with a 1:35.8 so more than happy.

congrats to mark berry 1:34.1 is an insane time :(

congrats as well to all the other SAU members on the day

Was a great 2 day, nice to see so many people there hope the event just gets bigger and better.

Meet alot of SAU people in the pits coming to have a look at my car, nice to meet you all :(

I was very happy to get in the 1:49 with full trim and bolt on suspension parts out the box with Kumho KU36's.

And what a drive from Jackie in the 200sx only running 210rwkw with E85, said he borrowed alot of parts of mates to bolt on the car for the event, Must have some very good mates.

I also liked to watch the white supra coming no to the straight, it must have had a rather large turbo it almost sucked my glasses off my face hehehe.

If its the one I think your talking about, he's from tassie, its packing a big turbonetics GTK 650 or simular.

Had a great day...met some nice people and sold 5K worth of bits out of my boot in the carpark....had a good laugh with ABM and Daz.

lol at N1GTR...went both days but steered clear of the Nitto stand. Its quite ironic your hero car required a Nitto part after a Jap brand name bit failed to do the job.

I don't know what issues you two have between eachother nor do I care but I do want to clear up the original head gasket failed due to the head stud between 4 & 5 pulling from the block. The fellow on the Nitto stand, Andrew I think it was, was most helpful in tracking down our requirement.

So what are you on about champ?

Brian - your red GTR is just soooo beautiful! I cant beleive you track something so clean!! hehe Great time too - top stuff!

also, what happened with the pan speed and Berry's 34 at turn 4 in the arvo?

looked like berry was on a cooling lap and they got caught up cauing the pan speed off into the grass! looked interesting!!!

must say, my fav sounding casr was the XR6T. it sounded like an F18 bout to take off - loved it!

It was a great event, a big shock coming from slicks to genuine road tyres i can tell you. well done to the evo boys i think they won every class?

It amazes me that any car can get under 1:50s on road rubber, so interested to know what tyre works best on a an R35, as they are pretty big and heavy and would need as much tyre as possible. Any idea what tyre the EVOs ran? Were they 8s,9,s or 10s up front?

evidently their super low cars handle.. and their super stiff coilovers do suit austrailan tracks... who'da thunk it??

Horses for courses. I dont think anyone ever doubted they would handle and perform. Dont forget, if you have aero you need to have far firmer suspension. And looking at the pics I have seen and the times some were doing, then they were packing meaningful aero so with that downforce suspension is understandably very different for the cars at 1:30 with aero and the cars at 1:48 with std bodies

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Coolant leak?

      By Chupapy · Posted

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
