Roy going around in circles is far from new, but this form of racing in this format and event is new. It appeals to many as not many want the big jump to go to the next level bumping guards in improved production or similar racing It also takes a lot of commitment and money, then there are Super sprints which are ok but too many cars and no trophies or prize money or spectators and the main thing is any bob with any car can enter. Then there is drifting which is not for everyone and drags and well, not much of a challenge.

This event has similarities to other forms of motorsport with instant result and knock outs similar to drag and drift. It should make a great spectators sport with some serious road and track cars mainly Japanese.

Yeh, i appreciated the subtle differences. Which is why this event will be great as it supplements the type of sprint events that already exist. If i wasnt OS i would 100% be in. In fact i may still make an appearance as i may be putting off my holiday because of family reasons, which may see me in Sydney as well :D

What sort of circus would it be without the clown taking on the powers to be with an RB20 :blink:

You OS drinking beer again? Where are you and how long? You would definitely win the RB20 class.

I am confident it will be a well run professional event. It will be a relatively new event and can only get better, and it is what we all make of it and promote and get behind it.

But RB20s dont have any class.... nor do their owners ... none at all :D

You look good in it though.

Anyone know of anay track days at Oran GP coming up in next month or so??

The new GTR's come with Bridgestone RE070A's from the factory I believe.

Mark and Russ's R35 will be on the factory dunlops. The bridgestones are a dealer option (and come on the premium too) and by all accounts not as good on track as the dunlops. :D

Hey Baron you in for this? Front row street class having a go.

I just checked Oran Park site and they actually have practice days list for GP.

Tuesday April 1st, not far away and earlier than I would like but no other dates although sometimes they have days not on their site.

Practice Days

Wayne,

theres one tomorrow - and check the NSW events section of the forums, theres dates updated there mate :)

I did a lap dash sprint thingy today, was great fun, got 3rd outright so Im keen as mustard!

Adz....yoko a048r would be legal for open class...but you would be on track for dead last. put some decent semi slicks on there instead (DZ03G or re55s). or even better if you can find some really soft ones considering this is 1 lap at a time.

Roy...apart from the interest and promotion, I can't see the difference to any number of CAMS supersprints....but regardless it should be a great spectacle and I'll be there for sure

Time to stir the pot me thinks :blink:

In the open class it states-

All vehicles must retain their original chassis/body. If the chassis/body has been modified in any way, all modifications must be submitted for approval to the Superlap engineer.

What is defined as a modification of the original body?

- cut out oem front doors?

- frp/carbon panels?

- lexan windows?

- flares?

- tubbed guards?

- firewall/trans tunnel mods?

- rear doors removed and replaced with frp silhouettes

- engine placement alterations?

I ask only because these are plausible allowances within the above statement plus of course they are alterations Im undertaking for my current car and it will all be done to the original chassis/body with no spaceframe utilisation.

indeed - as I said in an earlier thread hopefully these will be aligned with the full body sports sedans regs - ie floorpan can't be modified (which makes your tubbed guards a problem) but everything else would be OK. We are building our new GTR to sports sedan and if we had to choose between superlap and racing due to regs we would of course choose racing :(

but what sort of race car would have rear doors anyway :blink:

First things first, I must have misread the regs for floorpan sports sedans because I was under the impression the floorpan could be messed with somewhat?

Also my car isnt really a sports sedan. Its just a Toyota :rant: However I was looking to keep it relatively in line with SS regs in case I get

And a family oriented race car has four doors so you can fit the kids in whilst lapping lol

if you want to try and do a practice day before hand you can share my loaner mate. :whistling:

for sure on some good street rubber like maybe AD07s or the RE01Rs you would be up the pointy end of street class, but you may find on the semis you are still up the pointy end in open class too.

Yeah mate I'd be in for that!!! S13 FTW!!! I'd prefer a weekend practice day, let me know if anything comes up...

Looks like the Federal 595RS will be accepted in clubman, anyone had any experiences with them???

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
