Congrats to Man_in_bulk....he took out the final round of the state champs at Eastern Creek this weekend, winning the 2005 championship in the process (not to mention a very impressive 1.48.8 lap time....)

Congrats to Geoff and the rest of the support team at BSM including Sydneykid!

Whats more.....another SAU forum member (if only just :D) came home 2nd MB.Motorsport :( Shame he's in a commodore but he might upgrade one day ;)

Honourable mention to road_and_race who's GTR finished 5th in Class A pipping me by 8 points (I ended up 6th). And haw001 who ended up 10th (thats what you get for only entering 1 round :D)

Can't wait to get out there again next year and give it a real shot :D

yes, congrats to the BSM boys!

Well our season in prod sports came to a sad end with the porsche being heavily crashed in practice :D Turn 1, EC, 180kph, inside wall... not good. car is totaled. Not sure if Rob and our little band will be back next year, but if not i will offer my strut brace and services to you duncan :D

nah I was coming around to lap him Geoff.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Richard that really sucks. Did the tail come out in turn 1 or was there a nudge. :) I guess its a reminder....only race what you can afford to loose :) at $9k a GTR is in my budget.

Maybe its a sign he should be picking up one of those old spec carerra cup shells.....supercar pace at about 10% of the price

yeah tail came out at turn 1 on the throttle, arse snapped around and fired him into the inside wall, car is quite badly damaged. the quote from someone in sydney was $76K in parts + lots-o-labour. Rob has a plan though and should have it back together for a fair bit less than that. Porsche (germany) apparently will take the old shell back, crush it, credit him towards a new one and send a replacement 05 cup car shell complete with cage etc back. He can do this as it was bought as a Cup Car.

The funny thing was the car was not behaving as Rob wanted yet he still managed to qualify 5th with a 1:40.1. It would have been a great weekend.

Richard was that the cup car missing a lot of the front end parked up-hill from the control tower on saturday? or another fence/PCC car?

I was at turn 4 and saw a bigggg lose in the first race on Saturday cold tyre oversteer and disappeared stage right....

any fotos?

Duncan,

Thanks for the mention, it's a shame I missed the last three rounds but I hope to have a full season next year.

I would also like to congratulate Geoff, Phil and the boys at BSM and hope to see you at the track soon.

kinda, you can't comply a rally import for full road use, but you can drive them to events, practice, shows, mechanics etc etc. Now the 15yo rule is finished the prices on 89-90 gtrs are more sensible again, heading back down to 400-500k yen ;)

One of teh guys at work was telling me about the rally car for road use thing, sounds interesting.

So where do you get these "unregisterable" skylines from anyway?

Any car can be registered as a rally car as long as it has a CAMS log book and has been accepted. But the most common way to do it is to import a car from Japan for Rally use. Full details are on the DOTARS site

Thanks for that info

Both Production Cars (3E) and Improved Production (3J) allow GTRs these days, I'm pretty sure it is national from CAMS not a state based thing. We've also had wrx, evos, mazda gtrs running with us at various times

Production Cars I think is only in NSW and National series but you have IP in QLD don't you?

    • 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!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
