Anyone game enough to go on record as to who the early favourites are for this event? So much impressive hardware in Pro class, but how do they all compare? From what I can gather, the local boys have still got a bit of work to do to compete with some of the Jap and US entries.

Will the home ground advantage amount to much?

PanSpeed RX7 - go the RWDs!

If they can get the car sorted, I'm going with Mark.

If not, maybe Sierra Sierra...

The Sierra Sierra car is going to be quick.

But I'd absolutely love to see this car win :) ...

Hi All,

Checkout the photos posted today on Superlap.com.au of the Cyber Evo.

According to the Superlap website ...

"While other teams are at the track testing suspension modifications or on the dyno squeezing more horsepower out of their engines, team Cyber Evo have been spending countless hours at Mie university Japan where the aerodynamicists at Voltex have been wind tunnel testing the new aero package.

The aero on a big track like Eastern Creek is sure to play a huge part and with speeds approaching 300km/h at the end of the main straight, this may well be money well spent."

Just so you all know, I got a reply from Ian CEO at superlap saying its a no alcohol event (unless your in the VIP room and paying at the bar) and no bbqs allowed unless they are electric....

Hi All,

The video from the recent test day at Eastern Creek with Mark Berry's R34 which we sponsor has been featured on Speedhunters here ...

Gee, sounds like somebody's girlfriend left him for an Australian! No reason to attack a car that is effectively a privateer effort being driven by its owner, who happens to be the same guy building it. Hmm, how do i go about posting on Speedhunters :)

Gee Zuz that quote about is a wild rant! I wonder where he got the idea that Berry is somehow cocky of a win? Because I can absolute assure you, he's far from it! In fact, we know we need to find seconds, not tenths, to compete with the fast guys.

Having only just got some form of 4WD in the car it's now a rush to get it programmed correctly, and to get Hollywood's crashed 32 back together for him to fly in and enjoy.

I'd like to smack the quote guy right in the mouth.

One of the comments on that page reads ...

We'll simply let the R34's lap time at World Time Attack do the talking.

The fact that a car that was built by Mark in his shed at home and is driven by the guy who built it is a massive achievement in itself, let alone that it can compete with some of the fastest cars on the planet.

There is an article with more photos from the test day here ...

I for one am absolutely looking forward to the R34 showing the world what aussies can do.

Bring on May 21 !

please do not get me wrong in saying this... i absolutely love this car to bits... and full credit to the mark and everyone whos helped him along the way... with the 4wd sorted out... it will be an animal..

but..

i can see where this guy is coming from... that video should never have been posted, on here, maybe, as we all know the story behind it, but not on the interweb. It does look scrappy, it looks terrible actually. the japs and seppos are probably pissing themselves given that this is the flagship car for aus, and 2 months out from its home event it looks like that, worse than that though, it doesnt look like much has improved from last year's superlap.

and remember folks, that the cyber evo was built in something not much bigger then a single car garage... and by a dentist... it has an estimated power level similar to the GTR... yet from a 2.2L 4cyl which has unbelievable response and acceleration.. the r34 has an 3L.

to say that the hi octane gtr is built by mark himself in his shed at home, that doesnt make it an underdog... average joes building extremely tight budget shitters are the underdogs... this GTR has had more money thrown at it than i can be bothered to count up. that is a simple fact... the bodykit and aero alone cost more than i care to think of.

watching the vids of the other cars... they all have obscence power levels... yet they look calm and composed on the limit.. they can slide them through the corners and power on with precision and control... the video of the R34 at eastern creek looks like its about to whip around and bite.. under brakes, under power, and mid corner..

so in short... we all know what the r34 is capable of.... and we are all in full support of it and hope it knocks em dead...

but based on the video alone.. i cant help but agree with whoever posted that response..

now... so no alcohol... thats fine... no bbqs... thats ok... but can i bring a picnic??

Hey Linton, I'd think you'd be suprised to know how much this car didn't cost. Assumptions are dangerous and your statement re "the bodykit and aero alone cost more than i care to think of." shows you know zero. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

I concurr (as does Mark) that the car is behaving ugly as sin. That's why he works until 2am every night after work on it in his back shed measuring 10 x 6 metres. And at no point has Mark himself claimed he's going to kick anyone's butt, he's a very humble guy, and knows just how quick these overseas cars are. Heck, every time we talk about them his eyes light up like a school kids with amazement.

As for the video "that video should never have been posted", well, that's not up to Mark, thats a sponsor's decision. The sponsors of the event need to summon some interest for the event somehow. Would you have prefered static pictures of Eastern Creek's grandstands?

I'm certain other teams entered and present at the event will not have the same dim witted outlook of Mark's car that this particular Speadhunters drongo does.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
