The first round of the 2010 CAMS NSW Supersprint was held on 17 January here are some images.

And Duncan (LSX-438) what can I say....... Well done mate that was a fantastic save. You looked a little disappointed with the times on day but at least you gave it everything & a little more.

And well done to Stewart Inwood took FTD with a 1:15.05

I only managed to get a 1:19.6 but to be only 2.5 seconds slower than the R35 GTR in a 69 Mazda R100 i was wraped.

Results can be found here.

Well Benh unfortunately and fortunately for some,,,the organizing commitee decided because it was the last time there they would increase the field to 125 cars. Thats basically 2 more groups of cars. Personally I thought it was a bad call. I'm of the opinion thats it's 1st in best dressed.

I had a frustrating day with the car,,,Duncan and I have fixed and improved it,,,but it still has this weird thing happening,,,like massive turbo lag on the straight. Ebay here i come for an ECU might be a good start as well as some dyno time. The track also lacked mid corner grip all day,,,but not for Stuart to seems. Nice work mate,,,congrats!!!!. Bloody 4wd's are taking over,,,but at least I hung onto my class lap record which I own now forever.

Neil.

Any more pics or even video of the event?

I was there in my white S13 Silvia and loved every minute, despite some delays in the morning. I was satisfied after 4 sessions.

Got sideways over the flip flop a couple of times. Had a little off at turn one in the last session as well! That certainly got the pulse racing going off road at approx 160/kmhr

How did you go nismoman?

Best I've ever done actually. I was gunning for a sub 1min 20 sec lap, but couldn't quite make it. Managed a 1:20.8 and 28th outright.

I'm happy about the result considering it was the absolute last competition at Oran Park, it's going to have to do!

Competition is very tight and there are lots of closely matched cars. Bring on next round at EC, can't wait.

gret to see so many on here running in the series.

huge congrats to Stu Inwood - he set (and kept forever) the SVD record on a day that the track was in poor condition....pretty much everyone else was 1-2 sec off previous times

So this was you then Nismoman in the S13

Cool! Yep that's me getting it all crossed up coming into the esses! Nice photo.

From memory, I was sideways from the exit of the bridge all the way through to suttons!

Wasn't the quickest lap but sure was fun :)

Seems someone didn't listen to the drivers briefing. I remember something about holding up faster cars and letting them past on the straight. Clearly you were faster everywhere bar the straight,,,did you not talk to Duncan after that run???.

If it any consolation Stuart,,,I get it at every round from the clubby's,,,I now just push in front,,,but if that doesn't work I now lay down the law to them. Seems the box car boys think they own red group.

Neil.

Hi All,

Here's the link to the first run of the day at the last ever OPGP. Enjoy :down:

Must say, was a great day, bit slippery, delays have to be expected at any event with big fields!

Nice work Stu, car looks like it has heaps of corner grip and plenty of mumbo. The R35 is truly amazing in a straight line.

You doing superlap? I'd say you would be at the pointy end in open class if you entered....

Hi Neil

Yes, did have a chat, and resolved - no issues, as you can see the 35's were having grip issues - not too worry got a good time that run and a PB next - all good!!

Congrats to Ovi and Jason N on PB's in SVD.

Thanks Jack, at last got R33 behaving itself - still not over fussed with front brake pads, got a tune over xmas, not impressed, booked for re-tune - down about 30kws plus, was nice to drive - yes we are entering to do superlap in R33, from list of entries I beleive Hi-Octane R34 has an empty seat, my butt would fit and I am available :)

Anyway's will be there in the R33 come visit to all and any.

Bugger!! Didn't look in the garages - thought Mark must have been in the 32 - all the same will be good to see the 32 & 34 in action

Good stuff mate, will most likely fly up for the weekend so will definetly come and say hi.

So what sort of times has the R33 done at EC anyway??

Hey mate, is that your R100 in the last pic?

If so it looks fantastic! Any details on it?

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
