Got home not long ago and was an awesome weekend. Camping behind the pits in last nights storms was, well, interesting to say the least, but all part of the fun :)

Can't wait till next year.

Heaps more people this year compared to last, especially on the Friday so hopefully it just gets bigger and bigger each year.

The sounds those 458's make are truly unbelievable and the Merc's sound so effortless.

Hopefully we'll get an R35 GT3 car next year.

The only down side was the support races need to lift their game. Way to many incidents and at one stage yesterday went through 3 categories and a few hours without a lap being run in anger. All under safety car.

Yeah it gets a bit wild up there during the storms.

The Mercs and the 458's sounded insane! I'll post up some more pics soon, including some from standing on the GWS Motorsports (the BMW 335 and the 2 130's) pit wall.

is it me or the promotion of the event was a little low key? There was nothing on OS websites....not a lot of local talk. I really only knew as my housemate was up their doing photography for a few sites/magazines.

This should be one of the biggest things on the Aus calendar. Great cars, range of teams and budgets...good racing. Various classes. Looking forward to watching the highlights on SBS

Rumors are a guy in W.A. has purchased one. Not sure if the plan is to do B12 in it however or what his plans are but it does bring hope.

I spent most of Sunday watching the stream and it's confirmed my desire to do it.

One day....

Yeah, I didn't see any advertisement for it at all. Although, from what the commentators on the day were saying, they had close to 10k spectators this year, which is more than last year, so I guess people are finding out about it. It would be nice for at least a few hours of it to be aired live on one of the major networks though, rather than having to wait a few weeks for highlights to be televised

there was a fair bit of TV promotion in country NSW when I was up there for the event, and a solid crowd over the three days. The Radio Le Mans guys as well as Richard Craill did a great job commentating the action between the safety cars too. Snowy, 2014/15 campaign in the 35? All you need to do is keep the wheels from falling off like Alfords car and your in with a chance.

I did a write up for Speedhunters you can check out here.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
