Sorry for being a smartarse (not) but those suspension rules could easily be tightened up eg by making it mandatory to use stock suspension points and no others. Quite easily done, people who write these rules are not very cluey sometimes..

If the MSPEED Gtr makes it.... WOW!

Why the Fck are ppl trying to prove that this car is a Open contender? It's Australia's fastest BNR chassis! Regardless of class, as half the open cars are quicker then pro anyway...It's the only thing that is remotely close to giving the EMOs and S-chassis's a run for there money.

It's not as quick yet, but if I was in a position to be invited as a PRO car and be recognized as a privateer doing it... Bring it on! Under Suzuki status :) Fck Open class

(what/whom are CNJ motorsport relative to the development of both cars? Always thought he owned it)

sorry...but no. If I was in that budget range I would have an AMG supertaxi and do 20 national rounds per year, or buy a carbon aston martin+ a tarmac rally R35 and do a varied range of events

Or maybe I would just invest the cash in beer and hookers.

Uncle Duncan...I think you are missing the point. If you have 1 million to sink into something then I am guessing you invest plenty of other cash in beer, coke and hookers. Have tarmac rally cars, a Carrera Cup car. Do whatever the hell you want most of the time that you are not stressing and busting your ass doing what got you the cash to blow in the first place.

What I cant excuse is wanting an R35! I thought you were better then that

It's a WTAC discussion thread, not proving anything, just having an interesting discussion around Marlins points & interpretations of rules is all?

That WTAC suspension rule must be last years, because the current rules say suspension is free in open class.

10. SUSPENSION

Open:

i. Suspension is free.

So yes the suspension is free... but...

10. SUSPENSION

c. Original mounting points may be reinforced and altered in design but not in location

(except Pro).

Would suggest that you can put any sort of suspension in, long as the Orig point is there.

Now as page 4 said - There are ways to read into that, give how open to interpretation it is... Probably update 1.3 coming soon to say you actually need to use the point rather than just have it there :rofl:

I didn't read the earlier part, but it doesn't matter because when you say something is free, you remove any restrictions on it. If they want Open cars to use original suspension mounting points, they fail at rule writing, which takes us back to my first post in this thread:

...they are still really crap at writing rules...

I thought I made it clear enough in my original post re the Advan BNR34 that this was MY thought process, and wasn't at all trying to "prove" the car is anything? I know Mark wouldn't even WANT to go back to Open Class, not a chance in hell would he do that. I was merely putting it up for SAU discussion.

And CNJ are the guys who dyno tune the cars, not owners.

WTAC regs seem fickle and designed for a manufactured outcome. There are plenty of other time attack / time trial events which have been around for years before and will be after, with a long history of well defined and reasoanbly fair regs. Don't become enamoured by the hype, just vote with your feet.

The regs for the qld time attack series seem pretty good, maybe use those?

+1

And I reckon it's because they have been built on a sensible, not commercially driven basis, by people who know these sorts of cars.

Paul runs a good format for the qld time attack setup with any changes being of a minor nature to fine tune existing or accomodate new ideas.

The problem I see with wta is motivated by money. I have no objection to the organisers making squillions from their investment but in making rule changes that allow existing cars to run under the new regs at the exclusion if cars being currently built is a recipe for a shit storm.

So Voltex Type-5 wing's are back in club and you can run a 600HP RB30 in your R32 GTST.

What you really want it a 600HP turbo S2000 running 295's all around. Light, short wheels base, wide track and massive power.

Doing time attack and then flying to melbs saturday night to go to Phillip island the next day.

Who among us is man enough for this ?

Where should we stay in melbourne ?

After seeing what you posted on facebook I am definitely not ma....gay enough to join you. :action-smiley-069:

What the lightest factory weight of a r32 gtr? Is it 1400kg for the N1 or is there a lighter version produced?

I am trying to keep within the max of 20% reduction rule. I dont think I can get it but it will be good to know the actual target.

BTW what is the allowed weight for the Evo then? Obviously no one will use the Evo X since that is a baby whale when it comes to weight.

Also who else will be fighting for the Nissan badge? There seems to be some crazily fast Evo and Subies in the built also. It's going to be an interesting year.

The s2k is a bit deceiving and you will be surprised that is actually not the case. The s2000 is 1250kg from factory and I think that is dry weight. The track is not that wide either. Getting 600hp out of the f20c is easy but putting that power down will requires a lot of aero work. The only advantage is the suspension geometry is pretty good from stock but to compete at pro level it will be cheaper to build an evo or a nissan. At supersprint level then the gearbox and rear diff may not cope with significant power increase....I am not sure if the rule will allows use of other gearbox.

100kg lighter than a GTST and has 300kg on a GTR.

with the introduction of those weight limits, a Datsun 1200, 120Y or similar featherweight 70's POS could be a good thing. A 1200 weighs 690kg standard - 20% = 552kg minimum weight in Pro... Any engine you want, any driveline, any suspension you can dream up...

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
