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 from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
