not here in Canberra :(

sorry got late notice that it was on tv

commentators talking up a GT3 Nissan GTR coming next year, I hear they are limiting build numbers to 10 units for the 2012 season, and with Super GT regs for GT300 moving to GT3 regs for 2012 there are a number of teams that have higher priority to get cars, out of the remaining cars can't see the Aust GT being a high profile championship to sell into

Hopefully i'm wrong as will be good to have another new car up there competing.

Will be scouting out as many teams as possible at sandown, and those that don't talk at the track will be well liquored at the vodka o after party :thumbsup:

:-) 2nd SLS officially announced today, James Brock will be behind the wheel.

Maranello Motorsport's also announced factory backing from Michelotto running the 458GT3

The have also brought the 2nd LP600 Gallardo in the country from the Macau GT series in China, hopefully it finds a buyer pre Bathurst 12 Hr / Clipsal

Clipsal schedule for GT's released today

1 Hour Race Saturday Night, 30 min race Sunday morning

A lot of talk that the Clipsal grid will be supported by many of the international cars from the 12hr, make sense to stay an extra week and compete one of the best street circuits (may be a bit biased there)

Got a message from a mate the 458GT3 did a 2.06.63 in its first shake down day at the Mountain (0.2 faster than the fastest V8 Lap) :devil:

next year the unrestricted cars should shake a few of the V8 feathers :banana:

Down to a 2.04.9 from the 458GT3 :whistling:

I had a good look over a 458 road car today. Can see where the race cars get their pace from.

Mr whiplash how much more power will the unrestricted cars have? And what is restricted on them currently?

When I mention no restrictions I mean running in actual FIA regs, at the moment all Aust GT cars are put the the dreaded 'parity' to dumb them down to make sure the gentlemen drivers are able to be competitive.

So as it ran over the weekend is how it will rock up to the 12 hour, although will more than likely be a tad slower with different compound tires and in enduro speck.

It's super quick, but no lap record - they can only be set during the race.

Amazing effort from street GTR running a 2.15 as well.....

i think when they start racing, that v8 lap time will show just how slow the v8 supertaxis are compered to the rest of the world.

it will cause alot of bogans to rethink there holden/ford loyalty.

not really I don't think...everyone like that assumes that Fezza's and Lambos etc are super dooper quick.....its the jap stuff and BMW & Merc they think are slow/weak etc.

If the R35 GT3 gets up towards the pointy end, they will be up in arms lol

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
