Good work...where do we send the $$?

Yeah I run the standard level - I assumed the Apexi engineers know more about safe and dangerous levels than I do.

yeah that is indeed a full sized tunnel....or that guy standing next to the car is a jockey. good news for the locals. now we just need a shaker rig.

also there is a rear fog light instead of a second reverse light. BTW the windscreen de-icer is on a seperate switch but like Bob said the mirrors work of the main demister switch. AFAIK all of those items (cold area kit) came together - so if you had one you should have them all (Oh, that and rust from driving on salted roads - pretty sure that is a feature of the cold area kit too)

I have no experience with these....but just wanted to note that square might be easy to fit but is a horrible shape to stop fluid splashing around. I guess a surge tank spends most of it's life full, but if not it would aerate the fuel like crazy in a square shape. Cancel all that if it is actually round or baffled in the middle.

If you are running a PFC the cat temp or engine check light will already flash if knock exceeds a set level. If you want something larger than the dash light, just tap into the dash light's power supply from the ECU and run something bigger. We built a custom dash in the nugget with this setup using a 12v LED pilot light.

google images? that was from my private vhs collection

Ben has already been spotted working on a clay model

The AP racing kits are about the best thing you can buy. Personally I would (and do) use the Ksport 8 piston kit for about $2k. But if you need the last 1/100ths in brakes the AP kits for about $6k an end are the place to go.

BTW was just talking to a friend who know the Cyber Evo owner well - apparently this was it's last event and it is being retired. At least it went out on a high note....it won the world series.

ahhh well the national and some of the state sports sedans guys would use it, and so would the Formula SAE, and so would holden and ford. And together that would book it out for about 1 month and then it would go broke Right now I understand the only tunnel here is the half size one at Monash.

yeah totally agree.....I think a little time on a shaker rig and in a wind tunnel would work wonders....no doubt the os top running cars have been through the same years ago. wouldn't be cheap, but when are gaining seconds cheap? and I wouldn't write off the taxis yet...they just need a little rework to suit the semis - it was clearly shown on the weekend that a soft semi has more grip than a supercar race slick. don't know if any of them will be back after the showing this year though which is a real shame.

that is one very well behaved and well engineered car. big oversteer at turn 6 too

had to be said twice apparently

OMG I met Wayne Prenter at Superlap

lol not really....he is just the spitting image. he clearly gets the best, and more, from every steering wheel he is given

right here Simon: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2010.EAST.S2.Y Pretty much any timed race meet in Oz gets posted on Natsoft.

ahh well shortcuts are one of the things that come with local knowledge. they are big curbs at EC but a couple of them don't cause much upset. I wouldn't be hitting the curbs on a track I didn't know with a stiff car with big aero either. lucky for the visitors it wasn't oran park....lots to be gained on the curbs there. noel.... +1 on the panspeed car in turn 1...would love to know

I run 360 front. you are too low. not just your cvs but handling too. if you really want to run that low you need some suspension pickup point adjustments. but it would be a lot of money just to look good. or if you really just want to run that low and dont care about the handling just keep replacing cvs

my 350z convertible

yeah I really don't like that style. the factory ones are expensive but well engineered....turbo gasket blowouts are a PITA. personally I would not use those ones. I bought these ebay ones, copy of the factory styles and they look oK http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SKYLINE-GTR-BNR32-R...=item2ea96a1369

hahh yeah somehow I've managed to time missing you perfectly on all your trips down this way. I'm a rude bastard. Come back from our track day, maybe 3rd time lucky

ahh well that is the problem with the view from the top....you have to climb the hill safely first sorry to hear.....and I hope she is back on her feet soon enough! good to hear the medical guys helped a spectator out

Well I don't count as an expert...but turn 6 entry was poor and 11/12 was a little slow, but otherwise it was almost inch perfect. Which is a real credit to the driver who I assume has not done hundred or thousands of laps like some locals have. The difference to Dave's lap at turn 2 is immaterial, on sticky tyres you can do either single or double apex for the same result, only the second apex and corner exit matters. The g output in that video is interesting...he was pulling up to 2g which is extraordinary in a tin top. Also he hardly backed off in turn 1, would love to know their apex speed - it is very likely the quickest a touring car has ever gone through that corner Re the lap times...absolutely not. In fact the superlap cars are on super soft/1 session tyres. For a lap record to count it has to be set during a race, so Hossack's time was set on tyres that can last at least 20 minutes at full noise (probably mediums) whereas all the front runners here were changing to new soft tyres every 2 laps. Both the Rose and Fernandex cars are ex-supercars, but they were running on hard semi slicks.....very bad choice and it's a shame - I still think with the right focus the local supercars would go just as fast as the front running emos. While on development...Luff coming home 4th in the elise shows the value of a car that has been developed over years, great showing. I have no doubt Mark Berry's car will be back in the top 3 next year with a year of 4wd development under its belt - I just hope they can find some wind tunnel time, aero is clearly a major difference to the front cars.

great turn out from the stagea crew....heaps more stags than skylines on the hill Noel, did Anna survive the climb OK? I heard she ended up in the medical centre?
