Had larger pan with baffles and accumulator prior but had oil surge in 2 corners so updating to a dry sump set up that the guys are making up. I believe my bar is a trust copy from carmods Australia, gives good room to put oil coolers behind the bar. some good bars to choose from on your link, I liked em. Send me a pm when your headed back out to the island good to see your car in action.

Yeah I'm hoping an accumulator will fix my probs.

I know what I would do if my car was a dedicate track car and not a club car :) It would be awesome :)

Do tell!

Oil surge, dry sump needed!

I remember i had issues under severe braking with my wet sump plus accumulator setup. The accumulator slightly fixed the problem but stil, thel pressures were concerning eg 15psi at 5000rpm on down shift...... although the motor never spun a bearing I don't think it's worth chancing a expensive motor. ... dry sump has proved to be the solution :P

1:30s at Ec won it with a sequential shifted box.... I take it you will be doing the same Steve?

Any comments on 30vs35 series tyres? I'm thinking 35s for more feedback?

Memo is competing again, not sure on what some new teams are bringing here as yet but if tilton can get their car running right for once I reckon they can win.

To be getting aero done by voltex is the bomb... fingers crossed things go well as this car still looks like a evo lol

Can't wait for team America!!!!!! Hopefully it doesn't go to china again!!!

Nooooo Russ..... loved following your progress through the high and lows over the years ;)

Richo, make sure you kick my mates supra from gorilla industries :P

haha f**k you, you yellow cnut!

Ill be back, but just for fun, nothing has changed. Cant let a stock ECR33 Beat me again this year :P

Think the Vader Supra will be back also.

Just FYI, in RWD Clubsprint, BYP are buidling an S2000, so they are one to keep an eye on too...always got something up their sleeves.

Other than that, I have no idea who else is competing. A mate is Building a Lexus ISF for Opens, pretty awesome build, and Tanaguchi has alread been booked to drive it

lol :whistling:

Yeh, BYP's S2000 will be mega fast for sure, though that chassis limits the amount of tyre you can put up front. I doubt very much they can fit a 265 on the front with the guards. I've spoken to Ian a couple of times regarding the guards and they are pretty steadfast on 'rolling' and not 'flaring' and that the top 1/3 must be within the body. As I wanted to run a 10.5" rim, but that wasn't going to fit without flaring the guard. So it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

I'd imagine there are a couple of workshop 86/BRZ with forced induction coming along?

Vader are going to have to do heaps to their car to meet this year regs, that should be interesting!

- wing too high

- front & rear guards flared

- front splitter too long

- side-skirts too low

Good luck to them, bashing the rear guard back into standard body line is going to be painful.

Yeah I'd love to see Tilton beat Nemo. Nemo to me is just a rich kid with too much money choosing to dominate the progression of aero in time attack.

although the motor never spun a bearing I don't think it's worth chancing a expensive motor. ... dry sump has proved to be the solution :P

lucky my engine is only a $1000 engine from nissan! Dry sumps really cost a lot. I might give the accumulator a go as it's relatively cheap.

Agree totally, dry sump is the way to go and save that engine if you can. That evo that one with paddle sequential was super quick with a gun driver at the wheel, budget doesn't allow for a sequential box so the ppg dogbox with a motec shift cut is what will stay, not as fast as the sequential but I have always loved shifting with the h pattern box(makes me feel like I'm a race car driver lol). Hear your going hollinger, awesome.

Tyres trying 35's first, not sure till both are tried, anyone else used one or the other jump in?

They sure have dominated, but I'm thankful that they have as its pushed the quality and development to another level not seen before which is great for me anyhow. I have learnt so much in regards to aero since these aerodynamicists have been involved and my lap times have dropped big time. I think it's great that they have different classes for all, I love club sprint class...you rock up and drive the hell out of it then drive home, that's how I first started and was so much cheaper and got to be honest....a lot more fun more often.

. Accumulator will help, better to have than not at all.

Tilton is more of what I'd class as a time attack car. Still very much looks like an Evo on the outside.

At the end of the day everyone is going to present cars to the limit of the rules, NEMO went right to the edge of the rule book. Good on them.

If I had the cash and resource I'd have done the same thing. Why not, it's about being the fastest within the rules. Look at those crazy carbon R35's from a couple of years back.

Russ did you see this?

Any idea how the shift cut works on the ppg/motec? I was advised that unless you invested in a strain gauge type shifter, ur highly likely to round off the gears... Is this what possibly happened to the ex bsm Gtr at Phillip island with 3rd failing?

Those semi dry sump kits look mint...Brighty runs it on the race 33gtst with great success is what I've been informed... I'm pretty sure Brad likes to keep the sump as close to stock as possible internally, as this was also the case in my full system.

Love your attention to detail re the rules Richo.... You've already psyched out your competition lol

We have been using a Motorsport systems strain gauge. I flat shift 3rd to 4th and clutch other gears, not sure how dean our driver does it, I'm still learning so I was advised to only flat change 3rd to 4th. I messgaed Ex bsm to find out what happened few days ago but no response as yet.

did any of you happen to notice Mik Sigworth'sefforts at the last qr time attack.

An owner driver with a car that doesnt look like its made from left over sputnik space junk literally obliterated nemo's bench mark on the sprint track.

50.3 seconds is around 1.5 seconds faster than nemo, Admittedly nemo had a pro shoe at superlap but Sigworth is driving in open class not pro.

Good luck to anyone trying to beat that team at the worlds.

Micks car is a great car and a credit to him, particularly considering the rumour of the 7 figure sum that has been spent on it.

Couple of things though. Micks car is in Pro-Am not open.

http://www.worldtimeattack.com/index.php/pro-am-class-precision-maintenance-evo-9/

It also did its 50.3 on full slicks and thats still about 1.6 seconds off the V8 supercar times.

Nemo I dont believe has actually ever run in anger on the Sprint Track or Clubman, they only ever run on the National track and I believe at a practice session in November it set a 1.10.4 with the non pro and a 1.07.18 with a pro driver on the national.

Also i heard that Precision was doing practise this Wednesday at SMP and was 5+ seconds slower than nemo's record time.

There is still 4 months to go and Nemo I guess hasnt been seen on the track in awhile. So good luck to them both.

Sure is a pro-am class, has heaps more aero on it. Still is super quick though. Last year open class cars were allowed to run full length flat floors which make a huge difference to grip and lap times. Those open class cars last year with the flat floors would not achieve the same times today if everything else was unchanged.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
