Kumho Lap Battle Championship Round 3 - Date & Location Change


Recommended Posts

That would have been 1 big bad R34 and one mostly stock R33 (now upgraded but not attending). I wouldn't worry about the straight as long as you can hold the 1st corner :)

Turn 1... Easy as, I just have to load the EC map into the Evos computer and it'll figure it all out for me....

do you even need to be in the car? surely the evo will be faster without an extra 70+ kg?

If you guys have any nissan owning mates feel free to get them to enter. I can take sign ups on the day for anyone needing club membership and cams licenses.

Bloody Emo,s better keep out of the way of my RWD boat, the driver assist options might get all emotional and drop their show bags mid corner when the fat heavy RWDFTW boat is all over them.

LOL.

Question, will the tyre rule be used to divide the classes, ie if I run Dunlop direzzas ill be in street but if I run Khumo V700 I'll be in club ?

Regs just say no full slicks if I'm remembering right.

Thanks

1week to go, might have to clean the car.

Ok for the tyre rules - as far as the kumho lap battle goes yep the classes remain the same, so semis = club. I wouldnt worry too hard though unless you are at the top end of the points. If you've got semis go for it.

We've got an exemption from the no slicks rule for the existing open class guys already running on them.

Now we still need a few more Nissans. I can help you with getting an L2S on the day if you have a current club membership. I can sign you up to RENEW on the day as well if you need it or if you apply for SAU NSW early in the week I will validate your application with Eric. I'm really not trying to step on toes here with membership but I can't take SAU NSW club applications on the day.

I'm waiting on a couple of confirmations but I'll post up info on what time to arrive asap. Also there should be some official communication from the WRX guys soon.

For scoring the championship the following will apply:

If we have 3 timed sessions they are rd 1,2,3

If we have 4 then the 4th if not your slowest will replace your slowest from session 1, 2 or 3. For most people id imagine the 1st would be the slowest.

If we have 5 we will count them as s1+s2 = rd 1, s3+s4 = rd2, s5 = rd 3

If we have 6 we will count them as s1+s2 = rd 1, s3+s4 = rd2, s5+6 = rd 3

It's most likely we will get 4 timed sessions. Given the uncertainty I thought it better to put something in writing so it is clear before the day.

Sweet, I'll be happy if the oil problems have gone away and I get to do a few sessions, not to worried about times at this stage, well see how I feel after my first session though, I might get possessed by a speed demon, LOL.

sway bars and front strut brace are in, tune done last night, sub frame locking rings go in tonight then just have to bleed 4WD, A-LSD and brakes and the 34 is good to go, though vacuuming it sounds like a good idea.

Now lets hope none of the AWD guys are doing rain dances and it should be a good day

Only one person mentioned rain on the evo forums. I reminded him that AWD cars have more grip but my RX7 is worth around a quarter of the cost of most evos. Same goes for most of the RWD 32 & 33s. Who do you think should be more scared of rain?

:devil:

Oh one other thing about the scoring for points - it will only be people with an existing connection to the event or SAU/RENEW that are in the point calculations. Should stop distortion of the figures.

I have some battery triangle stickers if anyone gets stuck without one. Make sure you bring your l2s and club membership. I can take L2S applications and RENEW membership applications on the day if needed. Come and find me, I'll try to be there @ 7.

And finally don't forget your helmet!

I've been speaking to each of them recently and couldn't have hoped to find guys more willing to support club level motorsport.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
