Auto Salon Circuit Battle

well a 1.07 from when we were up there would have you in 3rd or 4tf spot i think overall

hi mate

we use gts4 diffs which helped lower the ratio but didnt make the difference we were looking for.

cheers russ

p.s : and yeah your dead right, the reimax gears are higher grade steel replacing sintered as well.

do you race utes?

oh ok. yeah i find with mine. its nicly spaced gearing but just to tall to start with.

ie: 1st.90kph. 2nd.140kph. 3rd 185kph and 4th/5 same as factoy this is at 8000rpm

what did you find the gts4 ones did for you? im only thinking cos ive got to rebuild my rear diff anyway.

motul gearff type 2 f**ked it after 1 launch. i was using penrite limslip 85-140 for ages with out issue.

oh. yeah my work is "hi tech motorsport" we run 6 fords and 1 holden. also a supra in production sports. curantly re doing it with a propper pedal box and a bladder fuel system.

Giant, too good mate. TOO GOOD.

I've just got my carbon shaft in, stripped a lot of weight off the car (stereo, aircon, tar etc) and I'll be getting there shortly too (I hope!).

What an inspiration. Thanks for sharing the info + the vid too. You're a legend!

Justin. Such a shame that you have started ripping the nice bits out of your car. Still, no doubt the car will be quicker for it

[LTSJayce]

Is anyone in the know if Thursday's 'Round 2' of C.B. is an invite-only affair,or can us pleb's with pulled apart cars come and watch for inspiration too? I'd love some time around the cars just to soak it all in...

[Snowman]

Yeah they don't really want spectators. That is why they don't advertise the running dates anywhere.

[LTSJayce]

Yeah; I didn't think so...Ah well; I'll have to have a go as a competitor once the GT-R is ready...if the series is still around in 2010!

Too right Roy I often look at the pictures of when I first bought the car. It was a collector condition late model R32 GT-R. Such a minter and I am the sole person responsible for destroying it!!! Scares me sometimes and yes, makes me sad.

I was invited to Street car of the year, as well as Circuit Battle by the boys at Autosalon. But I declined both opportunities as I've yet to get a grip of driving the beast (I know I can't do a 1.04!!!!) I'd rather be confident of nailing a great time rather than have a bad time splattered on pages that 20,000 readers will read.

Thos interested in my build can see pics here:

No doubt will be a nice car when finished.

LOL...also a hard car to learn how to drive fast. My golden rule, its easier to drive a slow car fast then it is a fast car fast. I have to say i have a lot of car envy with some of you ppl. The money you are able to spend on your cars...i just cant comprehend thos sorts of figures. So woudl love to get some nice goodies for my car.
