  1. Cool. Yeah it was moved above for the low pressure flow on the underside, not for height. Awesome! Can't wait to see them!
  2. Rad was fine for 1 year of track work. Got gradually worse. Seen them on other track cars so thought they'd hold up. No problems with cooling though, just construction. Looks like its deformed from high pressure. No head gasket issues, that's what we first thought haha. Gurney flap and change of angle was very noticeable at turn 1 EC. The car felt way more stable and I think it may have had something to do with the final session being 1 sec quicker! The boot required re-packing after every session. By the end of saturday we had about 4-5 washers spacing it up! Need to do something more permanent now. Proper boot lid re-enforcement. The gurney was actually mounted underneath the wing to begin with but spoke to an aero guy at WTAC and he recommended putting it above the wing so it sits higher as a result.
  3. It's bad but it makes sense what you're saying haha. All good! It's probably the crazy custom aero on Nemo that tips it over the edge. I just hope that international cars will come back! I heard from some people that play a role in WTAC that some international teams are already planning how they can challenge nemo. That's what we want to see! I would like to see a bigger definition between open and pro class. If pro class cars want to race their cheque book on aero designs and builds that are worth more than a house then that is great for the fans and that's what the sport needs. Open class need some sort of limits to aero so that the average fan can still see what car it is. Most people would look at nemo and not have a clue what car it is based on!
  4. LOL. Put your money where your mouth is boys!
  5. So the mad engineers bent me up a Gurney flap for the rear wing. Matt separating the fibreglass headlight from the mould. This by the way was tuesday night around 11pm. We left for WTAC on wednesday morning 5:30! Front splitter painted last minute for WTAC I think I'll leave it there for now. The WTAC story is a big one so I'll post that up at a later date.
  6. The lexan glass is now in. Johnny and matt ripped into the doors and all up took out 15kg, that's just steel! Glass on top of that! All this weight reduction got the car down to 1249kg with no driver and no fuel. Not bad for a full caged car!
  7. So it's been a while since I've posted an update. That's because I've been so flat out! What a hectic month! I'll go through the lead up first and then talk about WTAC and how massive the weekend was and how my mates/team helped me achieve a great result! So PI as you may have read in Kory's write up didn't go to plan. A faulty injector plug on cylinder 5 caused this... The day after we had it pulled down and everything ready to go on Campbell's motor that he donated so I could get to WTAC. We also noticed that the ASI ebay radiator wasn't handling the pressures of racing. Kinda a bit bent... So we got a racepace spec radiator and so far it's great. temps have never been so low. It's crazy effective.
  8. Good to hear from you Hiroaki. I would love to see some aussies go to time attack at Tsukuba. I would definitely be there to watch and support!
  9. I'm so glad he did coz it meant that we got our gearbox change done and I was out 5 secs before the chequered flag! Thanks for the Pics. I'm going to do a write up on our team effort to change a gearbox in 1.5 hrs and go 1.1sec quicker 5 sec before the chequered flag was out. Absolutely epic. Very cool story.
  10. The understeer has nothing to do with a dry track lol. Everything to do with a boring car! HA! I'll beat you with my falcon! I'm actually going to enter it!
  11. Good work snowy. When was that mr Hawkins? Wasn't that a couple of months ago?
  12. I can deliver these to Sydney next week. I'm coming up for WTAC at eastern creek.
  13. Good to hear mate. Care to share any more?
  14. Make sure all your wheel nuts are there unlike some other chaser drivers!
  15. That is up to date. Happy to bring things up to WTAC at Eastern Creek. Let me know before wednesday 8th as I'll be coming up that day.
  16. Ash tray sold. Sorry Kris. My other mate is going to be wrecking his 32 GTS4 so he might have one. PM him. rossib is his user name
  17. Damn! That's fast! What power was that done with?
  18. I'd love to say it's all aero but to be honest I would say it's a bit aero but mostly being a lighter car. Mine is down near 1280kg. Probably a good 200-250kg lighter so that helps. I think having the big wing and splitter will be improving the mid-corner a lot. Shame I wan't able to test the diffuser and cannards properly. Still disappointed I didn't get a good run before the engine let go...
  19. Wow. Didn't realise that hayshed was that fast! Awesome corner!. Apex was 187 and got to 196 before braking for lukey heights. How bout you? Could I send you the file to overlay? Would be an interesting for comparison.
  20. centre vent was smashed when the roll cage builder went to pull it out. Ash tray I think is spoken for but hasn't been picked up yet. I'll give him a few days. I'll get back to you if he doesn't grab it.
  21. I'd be very suprised by that. My speedo doesn't work and only goes to 180 anyway. Data tells me. 254kph max and 179 is slowest through turn 1. Crazy fast!
  22. No sorry but my mate might have one. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/user/79141-rossib/ No sorry. They're only for gay aussie compliance?
