Meh, i would feel like a tool if i had someone drive my car in Clubsprint. It would be a bit like courting a girl for months, spending thousands on dinners, weekends away and gifts. Then when she takes her panties off and says " do nasty things to me..." you jump on the phone and get the Beer Baron in to deflower her for you.

Even if i got it horribly wrong the 8 or 9 times i tried i bet i would still be having more fun then if watching Beer Baron reap rewards for my hard work!

I'm the same, but to each their own I guess! I want to know how fast I can go in my car, not just how fast my car can go.

However if it were a car respresenting my business then I could definitely understand a ring in for the added exposure of doing well, especially if the business has something to do with motorsport.

If it's a shop/business/company that wants good exposure and a good result by having a gun driver brought in, then they can run in Open or Pro class.

Clubsprint class should enforce the rule of matching name on registration paper with driver name. If not so, then you go into Open class.

Thinking about it, I think the essence of this event is more focussed toward the vehicle, as opposed to the vehicle owner's pace.

I can understand if a workshop want to demonstrate the relative pace of their modifications on a road tyred street car to it's best by utilising a good ring in driver, given in most workshop cases there isn't one on staff.

I think trying to police whom is driving what can get very difficult by the time everyone is wearing a helmet.

geez did a 35 driver shit in your cereal or something... your not a fan!

remember its early days with 35 tuning... wait til there's 1000hp monsters 4 wheel powersliding around the track;)

kind of sorta did..

Sounds like this event isn't for you, I'm sure there are heaps of drift events around where you can get your 'fix'.

And far as you having no idea, we won't hold it against you..... :D

1. not at eastern creek theres not

2. i love superlap.. i missed it the first year, i absolutly loved it last year, and cant wait for this year.. i just mean from a spectator, watching people get so close to the limit and really pushing themselves and the car for that very best time is awesome.. i remember last year watching the red r32 gtr, i think it was a rigoli car, lay 2 thick black lines on every exit of the final turn onto the main straight... not smoky, full countersteer, sideways drift... but it was scrabbling for traction and just gently heading for the wall...

and seeing the hi octane r34 with wisps of smoke from the rear tyres coming up and over the hill... he could go no faster and push no harder, 110% effort

the r35s are too clean and clinical... and quiet.

hahahaha... right on... wheres the fun factor for the guys that pay others to do all the work to their car, then get someone else to drive it.... although, on the other hand... im open to taking your money to buy parts and fit them for you, then thrash your car around the track for you... more than happy... hell, ill even drive it for free...

I think trying to police whom is driving what can get very difficult by the time everyone is wearing a helmet.

Yeah, dead right there. I guess people will know and see who's driving the wheels off their car, whether they be a ring in pro or owner driver.

I find at the track if you lay down a good time, people come and find out a bit about you and the car.

I was actually talking shit as always. :( You would be stoopid to give me the keys anyway :(

The only way i could possibly afford it is if my mate calls off the wedding in Scotland which means my June-July trip to Europe with the car gets called off. No way i could afford the airfares back to Aus and event entry only 4 weeks before :D LOl I am actually canvassing mates who want to come on this car trip...but worst case i will pick up a cheap hooker in Amsterdam to keep me company...hell she could be my date for the wedding too :)

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
