anyone want to throw a 10 bux in a hat and have a crack at how many engines blow up at super lap?

i say 18

winner takes all or we spend all proceeds on piss and get on it?

It's certainly looking that way with at least 4 engines down in the past 4 weeks across carying classes. Probably more than that given limited info

I think a low 28 or high 27 will win it. I've already hear a rumour that the Tilton car has gone faster than Cyber Evo's 2011 time. Could just be rumour but It wouldn't surprise me.

I think some cars in open should really be pro, and we'll see a 33 in open, a few 34s and 35s and the rest spread out in the high 30s and low 40s.

I 39 in Clubsprint is possible too.

There was an EVO doing 1:40 on Saturday at the Creek at a CAMS Supersprint round that will be clubsprint class for time attack and had correct tyres on.

Hence why I predict a 39 is possible. may not happen, but cars are knocking on the door uf sub-40s, which is very impressive on a stree tryre!

I do believe a 39 is there in clubsprint if the track is good and temperatures are right, it is amazing what time attack has done in the last few years to development in supersprint based cars that included open cars. I really need to get my S15 finished but keep devolving new parts to keep up with the competition.

As I said I'll be impressed if it happens. Effectively the only aero allowed under club rules is a big wing so it means most of this time has to come from a combo of good grunt and exceptional pedal skills rather than from some computer generated design that maximizes potential grip.

Anyone have a picture of this EVO?

Yeah I saw the clip of that evo, I recon the driver was sitting a fair bit higher when he got back to the pits. I don't think scrutineers are expected to be structural engineers, only the check basic safety (seates bolted in, fire supression...etc)

Exactly, but you know come a big accident it is going to blow back that way. You hear it all the time "the scrutineers let it run".

There are plenty of good fabricators, and cage builders out there but you wonder what would happen to some of the cars if they went in at turn 1 Skaife-Winfield Commodore style etc. You prey another Todd Wilkes isnt on the cards as some of the cars have nothing structural forward of front suspension pick ups and you have to wonder how they would go in a big off doing sub 1;35s

This is from a google surch

I was standing at the staging area and watched it go by, the wing was held on by 2 small bolts either side and the bracket looked like 1mm alloy.

I would hazard to say that there may be a bit more strength in it next time out.

But there is no reason any of the EVO's can't run a cyber rear wing and front bar. That plus mega HP will make a quick car. The only real aero restriction I can see from past events is the rear bootlid and the front guards (which limit the tyre size).

I think all pro cars bar the cyber evo have pretty extensive cages. But it wouldn't be pretty if the cyber car went in hard

I remember reading somewhere that the Cyber Evo wouldn't conform to any regulations for any form of racing, it's that sparse on for safety......

In regards to Clubsprint, it's a joke they can do 39's. There should be no aero allowed and they should all be factory bodied. Call if Production if you must. Even the aero in Open will be over the top this year, and dangerous as everyone is hell bent on weight reduction. That Evo wing fail won't be the last over the next few weeks...

The lines between classes is becoming greyer every year.

my 2 bobs worth!

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
