Glad ypu enjoyed it, I can tell you its great fun, sometimes a bit scary thou. Shame you dont have the 48k as it would be a great buy ash

Yeah it was a decent hit, but on purpose. It was on of those situations where I had no where to go. He went in very hot and crossed from the outside to the inside then slid across to the out side again where I was doing a run down the outside. Remember we are on the otherside of 200 KPH going down that straight. Ash

Hi There Can you please help. I am looking a buying a R32 GTR V Spec, It looks like I have found one. It has all the V Spec options, but i would like to confirm. Here are the VIN Details Chassis # BNR32-302103 Model # KBNR32RBFS AA KH2 G FS5R30A RC 41 I spoke to Nissan, they couldn't confirm it was a V Spec. They did say it was not a normal GTR it is a GTR.17 special model Thanks

I believe the R32 GTR still holds the top speed at bathurst of over 300kph. The Mines car is a road car converted to time attack and it runs on treaded tyres. A V8 supercar is a purpose built race car with virtually no original Holden or Ford parts, unlike the Group A days in the 1990's where they were based on modified road cars. (Look at the VE Commodore Supercar, the rear doors are even cut shorter to fit V8 rules!) Having said all this, I belive the Mines Gtr with SLICK TYRES would be faster around Bathurst. To give an example, I race at Barbagello in a Series 6 RX7, we are doing mid 61 second lap times, the V8 supercars are doing 58's, thats 3 seconds per lap difference. The series 6 is running on 225/50/16 treaded R comp tyres (similar tyre as Mines would use) the V8's run slicks, If you put the same slicks on the Rx7 the lap times would be very close. The RX7 was a road car converted to track car with the normal mods like roll cage, suspension, brakes and HP abour 400 rwhp. It is nothing special just well sorted. The V8's are good for what they are, A big heavy car on a smallish tyre, they are reliable and consistant, they run fast laps at Bathurst for 6 hours. Dont forget they Banned all turbos because they were embarasing the V8's on their home ground. If Nissan built a GTR to race Group A again the V8 supercar would see its tail lights for about 5 seconds then it would disapear unitil the GTR Lapped the V8 again. Here is some incar footage from our racing at Barbagallo

Hi Guys Sorry not a Skyline SAU Nickname: kingscorp Car Make and Model: RX7 Series 6 Circuit Name: Barbagallo Lap time: 61.4 Modifications Engine: 13b Bridgeport Turbo Power: 400 rwhp Suspension: Bilstein Tyres: 225/50/16 Bridgestone re55 Brakes: AP / Harrop calipers (Padgid Pads) Alcon Rotors Body weight: 1200kg inc driver I am building a Silvia s14a, so hopfully will have a lap time up soon.

No sure, I guess its because most dyno tuners supply the graphs in HP.

Its good fun racing these things, very exciting I think you mean Greenham! Ash

glad you enjoyed it. Thats not unusual for the fiesta guy! it happens in most corners. Ash

It would be a genuine 450rwhp as are all the front running cars you see in the footage. I would say its a R33 GTST gearbox, it is definatly a PPG gear set ash

Race 1 if you are interested. Very wet, not much fun. I dont recomend a locked diff in the wet!!!

Not sure I think its all kept pretty close to their chest! I know its a R32 GTST with a twin turbo RB26 in it. All cars run the PPG straight cut do box 5 speed. we have limits on wieght/tyre size. My RX7 is 1210kg with 16x7 inch rims, 225/50/16 Bridgestone RE55 control tyre. Ash

Ah ,yes I was driving the Blue United Oil Series 6 RX7 I remember seeing you there. Ash

True

Here is i=some incar footage from our racing at Barbagello last weekend Enjoy

Yeah he still works there, he contracts to a couple of shops and Top Racing is one of them, he still tunes all their cars

SRE (Searle Race Equipment) Radium Street Welshpool Ash

I have a set with 255/40/17 with Bridgestone tyres on them in good condition. Located in Perth, but can ship. $1250

Who did you email? There are 2 categories racing in that footage, the Mazda incar footage is a series 6 RX7 running in a category called "Street Car" For more info on Street Car see www.scrawa.com Street Cars are based on sports sedans but with many restrictions including weight limits, rim size, R comp tyres only and many other restrictions. They are ment to be much like a road car, however "Street Cars" are very fast. The guys running at the front are about 3 seconds per lap of a V8 Super Car and thats with the Street Cars racing on treaded tyres!. The other category is Improved Production Cars (IPC) CAMS recognise the IPC as technical regulations 3J Touring Cars IPC is based on a production car with modifications. IPC is on of the fastest growing categories in Australia. The cars are closely matched and the racing is great. The lap times are about 6 seconds slower than a v8 Super Car. All turbo cars in IPC must have a 36mm restrictor on the intake of the turbo and 2 x 27mm restrictors for twin turbos, this limits HP to about 300 at the wheels, but with masive torque. IPC is a national category, they have large grids of cars racing Australia wide. For more info on IPC visit www.iprawa.com there are links from this website to other IPC websites Austalia wide There is more footage from available from the above links. If you are keen on either Category contact me and I will help you on your way Ashly

RX7 is 450 rwhp with PPG straight cut dog box, no clutch required when shifting up Ash
