i actually like all of the development of the different cars, pushs all the boundrys around what can be done and not as restrictive. I guess open and club class are for the people that want to push the boundrys within a more defined set of rules.

One thing this year and i hope Hi Octane is reading is to please please put split times up on the display board up, sooooo many times i was hearing.....AND HE IS ON A FLYING LAP!!!! only to see them driving past the start finish line in third with a cup of tea.

and as most people know, our R35 won't be there this year. no catastrophes or other major issues with the build other than we have been ambitious with the work planned time wise relative to keeping things on budget. we hope to be on track in several months and spend the year testing at the track and having some fun.

That's a great idea. Have you asked them to do it? Put in on their FB page. Probably gets the most attention haha.

we are going to bring a tv this year so we can plug into the laptimes and maybe a speaker so we can hear the anno

was difficult last.year especially with the rotor guys next door replacing and engine after each session....uncements

Here is a little vid of some testing at Phillip Island on the weekend

Hope you enjoy.

If you like what you see make sure you join the Big Red Racing Facebook Page

Sick love this, do you have a new paint job?

pulse racing evo looks interesting and with a bit of testing, any insight into times @ EC?

In 2010 with far less aero won open class with a 1.46 lap time at EC

Now has heaps more aero, tyre and power looks good reliability wise with new dry sump and motec ECU

Prob Berry will prob be fastest with the 34 in pro class. Was much faster last year compared to before. Haven't heard much since though... Wooster?? Updates??

In open I would say Newton in Big Red for Open class if he pulls it all together. Looks very promising.

Way too many Emo's at WTAC IMO.

should be real quick then, turning into a bit of an EVO fest @ WTA. Who is in the running for fastest Skyline?

Team USA with the 32 will be interesting. Will the Berry machine go faster than Suzuki san though?

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
