Coming in just a few weeks,

This year promises to raise the level with the GT cars now included in the line up, plenty of exotic machinery to take part.

Today the Donut King GTR confirmed as a starter in with the likes of Audi R8's, Lamborghini's, Mosler's, Ferrari's and plenty of Porsche's

Further add the production car and should be a great mix of motorsport.

Just hope everyone can keep it clean for the race and stay off the walls.

TV and Webcast to be finalized in the coming week

Webcast hey?????

Rhys

Will have to double check, the web cast last year was pretty popular (considering 8 hours was under safety car in the torrential rain)

had live twitter feeds attached from teams, race control. Very informative.

2x Ferrari team to be announced in the next couple of days. John Bowe behind the wheel of one, and the 2nd a British GT team.

The Mark Eddy Audi will be quick with Mr Lowndes behind the wheel.

Further the Vodka O Mosler will be quick, was involved in trying to organize a few more Mosler's but we ran out of time.

Last i heard no Ford GT GT3's (currently have 4 for sale if anyone is interested :thumbsup: ) or GT3 Corvette's Entered

I was asked to drive for Kennard in his Spec C STi (the ex-Denyer car from 2007) but decided against it, one reason being my lack of experience with MUCH quicker cars overtaking. I think that woulda been frightening on Conrod with Deano is his Mosler banging my wing mirrors off with a 100klm/h speed difference.

Kennard has decided to share a car with Herridge instead of trying to put his own crew together.

Hopefully its a great event with minimal incidents!

I can certainly see that point of view benno. I agree it would be not much fun tootling down conrod in a prod car slowing inching your way towards 200km/h as you check your temps, change the CD etc and 2 GT spec cars dicing for a podium give you the short back and sides at nearly 300km/h. definite brown moment. maybe they can provide a cool suit hooked up to a nappy that can also pump in reverse to clear any.... ummm... waste?

From what I hear, entries are just into the double digits. Organiser asking past participants, who'd previously been told, "don't call us, we'll have a GT grid", now being courted.....I doubt there's the financial resources of a Ross Palmer to prop up the show, should numbers not materialize either.....but with the allure of Bathurst, might be a last minute rush of the miffed.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
