It was not just the flares, for the pople who have not seen this car here is an image of it with the diffuser out the back... has more aero than some open cars

don't single Nev out - the rules have been broken in Clubsprint for years, so if you want to be competitive you don't have much choice but to do the same. And there's certianly others there this year with just as much aero and flares... So its not like it a was totally unfair fight.

And it is an awesome time on street rubber!

Not singling Nev out at all that comment was directed at the flares, below is my post from 2 pages ago...

Nev first of all I have to say well done on the lap time, it is very impressive lap time for a harder track compound tyre. In my eyes it’s not only the flares being the problem, you had a large alloy rear diffuser hanging out the back a front carbon splitters and canards. But you were not the only one with these mods this year or previous years.

The way most of us read the rules you can’t use these items in clubsprint and this will be enforced a lot next year after what happened if I have anything to do with it. After going over the clubsprint cars we could have thrown around 10+ cars out of the class due to not complying with the rules.

Ah well, if I knew Pilot Sport Cup 60 treadwear tyres and fender flares where ok. I would have bolted up some 295 tyres all around.

Epic time set by Nev for sure. I mean that is the same bracket as Russ on soft 295 AO50s...

The boys in the garage next to me had a crate cosworth wrx, brakes, engine the lot. 400kw at the treads.

I would love the Top Gear UK test of, "can it get over a speed bump? If not the time around the track doesn't count."

Agreed. If they're meant to be street registered cars in the clubsprint class, they should not be allowed to have as many aero mods or such low ground clearance. Also, reading through the rules last night, it was not clear as to whether cars could have their engines enlarged. I'm sure a number of cars had stroker kits? Also what's with the restrictions against rear mounted sixes? That seems like a blatant no-porsche rule?

First of all, huge congrats to Nev, the thing is a well sorted package. Nev enters that thing in street registed classes all the time in Qld events. Even though this has nothing to do with WTA, in my opinion, It does make a mockery of the intent of the class. Might be a dumb question, what is the point of having club sprint cars registed if cars like Nevs WRX is elligable?

Has anyone got any images of Nemo on a fast lap mid corner, i would love to see the tyre sidewall flex from the load its under.

Anyone know how much tyre pressure you have to run in tyres with cars with so much aero or dose it not effect the tyre in that way?

Well done out there this weekend man! I was cut i was beaten by a Nissan..what made it worse a GTsT!! haha.

More power doesnt mean quicker times lol. I could not keep my car straight!! Was great fun tho!!

I agree with the rules, I had a diffuser (Which broke on teh last turn anyways) but ive always had it there as a rice thing, I don't think it even gains any performance!

?Uestlove (nice username btw), your Supra sounded epic. Nice car man. How do you find the Supras as track cars compared to other stuff you driven in the past?

Thanks ras. Love it. Best thing about it is reliability. Im running 370rwkw, stock engine, stock cams, GT35r, Sotkc LSD, aftermarket 800cc injectors, bigger fuel pump, and power fc. Ibe had this combo for 3.5 years, has been to the track many times, with out *knocks wood* any major issues (Only one issue WTAC last year, silicon hose kept blowing and this year, APR wing mounts broke). On semis its great, but with street tyres its hard to drive lol. Car turns in really good (Compared to say an EVO) but powering out is where its challenging. The Corner speed is good (Im hitting an indicated 180km at Turn 1 EC on the Street tyres). Its not as "chuckable" as an MX5 of course, but its fun to drive and predictable.

I will hopefully enter next year again

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
