Darkside

2.8 i heard...with KERS......

Waiting for Roy highlight the superior features of the RB20 over the GT3 metzger engine......

Top drive Ben. A very well deserved win. Enjoy the champagne shower and the winners bar!!!! Was great to follow from the sidelines.

Farkin blinder today Ben. Smashed em on Rinadeena!!! Right back in there. Top effort. Best of luck for the weekend.

Awesome first day Ben, especially given the power steer fail. GTST > GT3. Best of luck you you and the crew for the upcoming days.

^^^ Surely they are either very achievable base times or just for seeding??

Just had a quick look at some prologue results...for what they are worth.....have a bit of an interest in classic.... Broadbent getting his old RS porkchop around in the same time as Richards GT2RS. That thing of Broadbents must go ok.... 5th outright on the prologue.... Also something about Hendy stopping on Kayena. Was hanging my hat on him for EM victory.... Be gutted if he cops a snot time so early in the piece.

He runs the full MoTeC (M1??) ECU too I think that ignores all the warnings and safety measures the factory computer has that would normally save components of the car as illustrated in the power skid

I guess this type of driveshaft failure is normal on 35 GTRs? I guess he is glad it happened at the media day and not day 1 of competition.

Best of luck all. Will be following from the virtual sidelines.

Steve Coads old girl for sale.... Another "classic" Pricing might be a little ambitious?? http://www.my105.com/ListingDetails/tabid/65/p/1/cid/559/id/9694/Default.aspx

I think thats the game Bris. Make it look period from the outside at a glance, and shove as much go fast stuff under the skin as you can.

Well fellas, not sure if you are interested as it has the wrong badge on it, but am finally making some progress with the chook cooker. Some pics below if interested. Basically have finished the engineering of the equal length 4 link rear with coilover conversion. Now its off to get caged.

^^^^ There ya go Anthony. One of the GTST gurus I had in mind. I am sure if ask any of your questions here the guys that have actually built and raced GTST's will have some great info for you. My personal view on brakes is get the best you can afford. I tend to sway towards bigger brakes as my view is they give you better feel and a better ability to modulate on the threshold of locking up. Added benefit is the resistance to fade and more stopping power, Some of the intense targa stages can really give your brakes a workout so they need to be decent. Have been down the path of upgrading standard brakes with braided lines, ducting, trick rotors and pads etc, but still got a better result out of ditching it all and putting 6 pot alcons on. No doubt there are upgrades like bolting later model brembos on to the earlier stuff that would be a good budget upgrade. I sadly am not a nissan guy (would love a 34GTR but cant afford to race one) and am an imposter here, so take everything I say with a pinch of salt. edit.... oh and re suspension, this is one area I learnt the hard way in that you can never spend enough on the right coilovers. Once you have had a taste of tarmac rally and see how hard your suspension works over the less than perfect roads, you can see why the fast guys spend big on the suspenders. Makes a big difference to feeling comfortable at high speed over the bumps, which will naturally lead to you being more comfortable to push harder. Again i am sure the guys here will be able to lay out the variously priced options. At the end of the day we are all on budgets. You just try to build the best toy you can with the money you have.
