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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
