The car is quick, but there is another E36 in the workshop that should be far more impressive. Its fully stripped, caged, big brakes, M3 GTR bodykit, etc etc.....and it will have a turbo'd Sam Markov developed engine (still the 6 cyl) somewhere in the 700hp area. Should be interesting to say the least.

Another update on the SM Motorsport M3.....now has done 1.27.30 around Winton!!!!!! This was on new tyres and measured with a Performance Box.

Must have been those new swaybars I made for Sam :thumbsup:

Cheers

Wouldn't most of these GTRs have turn out for the past Superlaps?

I reckon in NSW from what I have seen is Bright R32 GTR, Burgess R32 GTR, Duncan's R35 and Stuart Inwoods R33 GTR has the goods

I also find that these GTR's only do super sprints,Time attacks,drive days..

Is grid racing really that scary? Why dont any of the awesome GTR's do grid racing (besides Inwood's R33) How insane would Marks R34 Carbon R34 be in a grid race...

Maybe it's just me but I want to step up to that next level of adrenalin motorsport fun...

well don't forget the BSM GTR....they have won NSW production car and improved production titles, and the national improved production title in thier gtr, and it is now being setup for sports sedans (has already raced with a top 5 finish).

But yeah if you want to look at GTRs that have raced (door to door) in NSW I only know of:

BSM 32 GTR (originally prod car, then ipra, now sports sedan, about 4 seasons)

Brad's 32 GTR (sports sedan, mra, 2 seasons)

Stu Inwood's 33 (Irace, 1 or 2 races)

Mark's 32 (production car, 1 season)

my 32 (production car, 3 seasons)

roadrace's 32 (production car, previously peter conroys car, 1 or 2 races)

SSS/Geoff Fear's 32 GTR (irpa car, now owned by fernando but not raced since, 1 season)

that's it. the only 7 skylines in NSW that have done door to door racing. as for why not more....dunno!??! I love it! And plenty of people spend way more than me on cars that have never raced. wierd.

Oh whoops I forgot about "those" GTR's and yours Duncan..I thought they were talking about the stupid Quick GTRs around Oz....Lofty should be in a league of his own LOL

It's great to see a GTR's launch off the line in a racing field...I still have memorys of yours Duncan in a IPRA meeting..Best thing I have ever seen is a GTR launch when the lights go out and carve up the field into turn 1...Think that was a day/night meeting also :D:P

haha yeah that was great fun, the day night race meeting last year. I started 6th and was 2nd into turn 1 having overtaken 4 sports sedans :P we even warned the sports sedan in front that I would come past up the outside and they laughed. lol. day night meets are great, I'm really going to miss oran park.

Sam Markov runs in IPRA

sorry, but unless he is running 2x32mm intake restrictors and is therefore limited to about 250awkw, he has ignored the most important IPRA regulation - the one that makes it almost impossible to be competitive.

his car would make a great sports sedan though, it's a shame has hasn't given it a real crack because I would love to see how competitive it could be.

Bradnster's GTR is the king of competative GTR's

There is no arguing that. What they have acheived with that car, or those 2 cars is incrediable.

The berry/newman 32 was very sucessfull at what it did but I have nothing but respect for the brandster guys and what they did with cars less than ideal for the category.

Duncan and I have always spoken about and I still beleive almost anyone would struggle to get he same results they have/do.

sorry, but unless he is running 2x32mm intake restrictors and is therefore limited to about 250awkw, he has ignored the most important IPRA regulation - the one that makes it almost impossible to be competitive.

Twin Turbos are stuck with 2x 27mm restrictors.

Can win with restrictors.

  • 3 weeks later...

Yes 27mm they are :D

I ran with Lofty in the BSM GTR's and the record's speak for themselves regarding IPRA.

I don't think his Eastern Creek lap record will ever be broken and his record will stand at Oran when it shuts ;)

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
