lots of cars going in the wrong direction including our car but no damage done :laugh:

the throttle got stuck open on the GT40s car causing Paul to go careering into the kitty litter at the end of the straight at 180 clicks! Paul and car are ok though. but his throttle problems continued which meant he could only manage a best time of 60 something.

our car managed a 58.06 on a warm QR day, 1st in class and 4th overall out of 110 or so cars. also due to the GTs problems that gives our car a points boost and we are now tied for the lead in the series this year with 2 rounds to go.

will probably get some slicks organised for the fronts before the next one to try and pick up some more time.

full results are on the queensland raceway web site www.queenslandraceway.com.au

Unfortunately i missed out saturday arvo due to blown turbo from the practice that morning. But my first time on the sprint track at topgear on sunday and my best time was a 56.4 which isnt too bad. Need more experience on that track, its tricky with our car.

yeh eugene your bug is annoying!

Well im about 2 seconds off the pace if i wanna win the next championship round in two weekends time. I reckon i have a second in me by getting my lines right and pushing it harder, but another second....that will be hard to achieve.

Giants car is quick and well respected, but there are quicker cars out there just not as popular or well known.

and only the rear wheels driving the car.

Mark and russell would do even faster times if they were on full slicks. But the point is with only two wheel drive its hard to compete with a very well setup gtr whilst on semis. I know, already tried it.

Lately weve been running around on hoosier semi's and those times were done on r6's.

It would seem that if you had two evenly powered and evenly weighted cars the 4 wheel drive one would be quicker everytime. The difference is that of running full slicks to semi's between the two, or so it has seemed over the last year or two.

what's with the attitude? I just pointed out that the "quicker cars" in your comparison were on full racing slicks against Giant on semis. There's nothing to argue about.

But Giant has a Skyline, that alone should negate any slick tyre in existance according to some lol. Anyway, many people say that the current semi slick tyres are just as good as a full slick anyway. I wonder how much slower a V8 Supercar would be on dunlop semi's rather then the full slicks they use... And a Semi slick doesnt mean its halfway between a road tyre and a race tyre anyway. Just means its a race tyre with DOT approval and some grooves really.

Anyway, pink car #90 might be getting joined by pink car #900 soon :D

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
