Time to start a thread to collate all the info on teams, rumours and what not. Despite Fatz running a breakaway superlap competition, I reckon WTAC 2012 should be bigger and better than ever.

Hopefully more international crews will make the trip if rumours are correct.

No doubt there will be more crazy local cars in all classes.

We will be there again in the R35, in the hope of significantly improving on last year.

Dates confirmed as 10th and 11th of August.

Plenty of info and rumours already appearing around the internet.

Ill be in the stands and pits yelling and grinning as usual, looking at the grid girls and stealing stickers, I hope they get some good Tshirts too as last years were non existant, 2010 were rubbish and fell apart but the 2009 ones are still going strong.

Good luck with your builds guys, hope everyone goes well.

Is it August yet ?????

Looking forward to it already! I'll be there again. Hopefully a few more aero mods and maybe lean on the motor a bit more to get more straight line speed :) might try some 295s if they fit ;) aiming for a 39 although that will probably just be good enough for mid pack these days!

* in before bitter lemon(s).

Dates might work in my favour this year so should be able to make finally the trip up for the first time.

Usually miss out as it's peak work period, however the schedule looks to start the week after :w00t::w00t:

Be interesting to see what cars/teams come out, and more importantly what do the local heros have. First year of building their specific car for a lot of people so hopefully they are even more competitive on the world stage :yes:

ok so regurgitating the obvious wesite stuff but for those who arent subcribed on FB or troll the web:

WTAC CEO Ian Baker and message for 2012

and in case you didnt read it above, Cyber evo and Sierra Sierra evo have retired.

Takizawa-san (the Dentisit who owns the cyber evo - background as an engineer) is planning an R35 for competition in 2013 if rumours are correct.

Not sure how the 'Global time attack series' over there is going. If it is anything like the world series of baseball though I reckon an american will be odds on favourite to win it lol

LOL wow gotta laugh @ that Mark :D

Indeed that's the thing about American Leagues, they are against Americans. Who of course... Are the best at everything :rolleyes:

The thing is, they do have some fast cars I would love to see over here other than the retired SSE evo. I hope the rumours of some other cars coming over are true, will wait to see what unfolds.

The US series tyre regs seem to be different though and available tyre sizes are therefore greater. They dont seem to think much of the Japanese time attack tradition of limiting to semislicks.

Yeah that's the distinct impressing going by those posts without a doubt.

I mean "2 laps and the tyres are dead"... Well... That's kinda what a 1-lap dash is about I would've thought?

Would be interesting to see them over here as well. Perhaps a few more might have their interest tickled.

It's like anything though, gotta work within the confines.

Wasn't this car and the gst wrx coming last year but pulled out leaving Ian with the bill? stuff the yanks if they pull those ones and i reckon Ian would want to make them put up the cash up front and then pay em when they arrive.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
