The white 32 GTR driven by Sam (car 40, i think) was doing 1.15's

A Porsche broke into a high 1.14's.

WHAT????

God damn. Too many people going way too fast! One day soon there is going to be a BIG stack at one of these sprint days then we'll see a bunch of new reg's come in.

Yeah that R32 GTR is an ANIMAL. Fully stripped and race prepped. One of the neatest engine bays I've ever seen! Top driver skills too.

15's at sandown is so quick i cant even comprehend how a "strret" car can get that time , i can manage a high 20(happy with that) at best and andrew/frank are flat/low 20's but 15's is miles away . These cars would have to make about 400 rwkw and wiegh in at around 1200kg?.

Andrew is right considering a roll cage isnt required at all for these timed sprints when one of these cars leaves the track ( lets hope it doesnt ) there isnt going to be much left of it.

Would have been nice to take a look and see some quick times. Gotta agree with snowie that a cage should be mandatory for those times.

I've actually just been over bugging Issy at Selectmaz to see if the Improved Production car is for sale but he is running it next year so I'll probably just build one. Much less maintenance for track and lower costs runing an RX7 now that they are getting less popular.

I'm tipping the Porsche pulling 1:14's would have been the black one.

Without seeing times, I was tipping that and the mad 32GTR to be fighting for fastest lap of the day.

Anyway, I'M IMPRESSED!

Speaking of stacks, I nearly saw the black Ferrari cause a 200+km/hr doozie on the main straight with (from memory) that black Porsche trying to pass - looked very close from the pits!

Yeah I saw that, looked a weee bit to close for comfort.

Jack: surprised I didn't see you too mate, you'd think we'd be able to spot each other over the crowd! ;)

for whoever asked, here's some pics of the 550 from the SAU day a few weeks ago, plus a few more pics from sandown

This 350z?

Yep that one. Were there any other 350Zs? Still, no info from anyone on the car and how it was doing?

what times do the supercars do around there ???

If I remember correcly they are getting into 1:10s. And the Porsche Cup cars into 1:12s.

ps. I don't think I've seen anyone go quicker than 1:18s on a 'sprint day' ... and that car seriously flying considering it was 'only' on R-spec tyres.

Damn i drove past sandown twice on sunday and was gonna drop in both times but was 2 busy!!!

Nice looking cars there.

Can believe the white R32 has dropped 3 seconds from its last time at the wrx day.

Roy u gonna have to get that twin turbo lotus out there mate and show them how to do it ;)

I cant see the times up yet - to give you an idea,

The 550 was doing 1.23's.

The white 32 GTR driven by Sam (car 40, i think) was doing 1.15's

A Porsche broke into a high 1.14's.

Also great to meet Pome Jo - the SAU member in the Yellow EVO who was at the track yesterday.

I'm pretty sure he's now addicted and congrats on the lap times as well - 1.28 on your first outing. Awesome effort - sounds like we'll see you at Phillip Island next month.

thanks bec good to meet you guys to yes i am addicted now my best time for the day was 1.27.46 is there any info for the phillip island one yet i want to sign up for it as soon as so im shore i have got in thanks

Well AFAIK that GTR had a full rollcage, what about yours Andrew? Me think a new bunch of regs will be needed for cars like yours and Crazy Frank.

It would be awesome if there was a national motorsport series in Australia similar to "Improved Production" but only for skylines... like a GT series. But I can't see that happening, soo many regulations, etc.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
