Hehe haters gotta hate

Longest "straight" is enough to get the Honda up to about 120 (limiter in 3rd) if I get the previous corner exit OK. Remember it's only got 120kW, and weighs well over 1000kg so certainly not a drag weapon (I peak out at about 175-180 down the straight at Lakeside). I'd say the faster AWD guys would possibly get up to 130 - 140 (total guess there). I have no idea how long the straight is, but that might give you a bit of an idea. Besides, it's not really a straight, but generally enough to let you keep it flat for the length of it.

Here's a vid of an Evo running the course to show you the track.

Any AWD on semis will do well out there, specially if you're not afraid to get it sliding a bit. The slower AWD's tend to drive within the friction limits (or go totally nuts and hang it sideways everywhere). I'd say a decently prepped emo, with experienced driver should shake up the top guys quite nicely.

Pity about the R35 comment - I'd like to see one run. Maybe if I ever end up owning one it will make it out there.

I wanna go :) I think low range runs out at about 100 from memory, so might have to stick in high ;) - but the bloody stability control doesn't turn all the way off unless in Low. Grrrr

A 35 would go well no doubt, cheater gearbox.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
