And Matt, GenX2 is ADR approved....

I want to make around 700hp (about 440rwkw or so) without forced induction using the LeMans developed Corvette C5R endurance racing components. Nothing like having a big cranky lump of alloy under the bonnet

That's icing on the cake really. Full ADR approval, 11sec 1/4's and defect free.

Many thanks to Mark from www.pulsarparts.com.au for this happy snap. This was my first burnout attempt from Sat night. Piss poor as per usual.

My last effort of the night was actually very close to a REAL burnout, as I held it for 3x the length of this one.

Matt,

How do you go holding the burnout for a length of time.

I find if I change gears I loose my brakes.. Hence go from first to second it won't hold. The brake pedal goes hard and creeps slowly forward.

Gotta luv the tread pattern on those tyres but. :D

Martin,

The old saying.. "There's no replacement for displacement" :)

The ol' 5ltr didn't cut it for me, especially the ol GM 5ltr with its crappy banana manifold.

Honestly though what will the putting around fuel consumption of a new generation 427 beast be like?

Joel,

I line up in the water, select 2nd, pop the clutch at 4k or so and then let the torque do the rest. The car still moves a little bit but only because I'm still getting the hang of side stepping the clutch and jumping onto the brake in one quick movement.

The trick is to "start" the burnout in the water (purely to reduce drivetrain stress) and then when ready ease forward until you're out of the water. Once on the dry stuff it "should" start to generate smoke and heat.

Dean, Martin uses these tyres - Apr3_14_04.jpg

I think it was pretty nicely moderated after martins lashing out at me after he suggested we race for money and naming me a tosser and having a go at my car because its 15 year olds and ugly, and he could hav bought at least 15 with the money he has spent on the ute.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
