That's alright Paul, you can be 'head engineer' in my pit crew!!! :P

On a serious note it would be interesting to see how twoogle would go with the right brakes/tyres/suspension...

And now that Bozman has been excluded from the clubman class its in the bag!!!! :laugh:

got plenty of "sus" under her...its the tyre and brake budget that i lack...anyone got anything laying around that i could "borrow"?

Head engineer...his main job is to keep the beer and seafood cold isn't it?

I can not believe what I am reading!!! What difference should it make if a driver has more experience?

Why is it different if Bozzy has been in the game for more than the average punter who might want to enter this event in any class?

Seriously... are they going to stop my kid for playing under 6's soccer because he is better than the other kids? I don’t think so and if they did, there is not a court in the country that wouldn’t call that blatant discrimination!

It makes no sense whatsoever.

Motorsport is not just about the cars and to motorsport purists; it’s really about how well they are driven. You can not say to someone "you can’t play you're to good"

Never before in my life have I seen limitations on driver’s ability; this will be talked about for a long time I can tell you now. I have been following this and looking at the webpage and it seems that the rules are being changed to suit a few people. That’s just going to totally loose the credibility this event deserves in my opinion.

If people are worried about competing against someone with experience, they shouldn’t be driving there car on a racetrack! On the other hand if you are serious about your ability as a driver on a racetrack, having a measuring stick to aim for by looking at those with more experience would be a great way to look at it.

Rant over... I feel better now.

There isn't really a category for Joe Schmo (read: Merli), who has a dedicated fun car (stripped interior and roll cage and good suspension, but otherwise mild modifications) :D

I can't really compete with Mark Berry or the BMS boys :action-smiley-069::D

Looks like I'll be photographing the day. I looked around, but I couldn't find any Media Accreditation. How do I get my hands on a media pass?

In all seriousness, if i supply Tein RAs and some 355mm F40 Brembos and Brembo rears...do i get to share the steer? Im happy to donate about 5ks worth of parts if gets me a steer :action-smiley-069:

might be able to work something out Troy...our car is no dedicated "drag car" and id like to prove a point. How do we "share" the drive?

time to dig the rear trims and back seat out of mothballs...hehe

I tend to agree. Personally anyone should be welcome to drive their own cars. My only concern is when ppl in the Clubsprint series start handing their keys over to a hired gun and you have a single driver filling 4 of the top 10 positions in different cars. But any person should be able to enter, just not cross enter.

I hope the Clubsprint guy's get out there and practice especially if the have not done GP before . It is a great track that requires a fair bit of commitment.

What sort of times are the Clubsprint Car's going to do on street tyres ?

If low teens is the benchmark for open class then I'm assuming maybe 1:20 flat???

Dunno, anyone with experience of this track have any idea??

Penno, Bozman???

I know a few guys who have done mid 20's in street tyres in SAU NSW

get some better tyres like the 595rs' and the rt615's and you could see some dipping lower

I think my best is between 1:25 and 1:30 on street tyres

Roy good point about handing over your keys, ok for open class as I dont have a key just a button to start and button to go for the straights. I say bring on the sallary cap. With the road class big power might be a problem even for gtr's as slippery slippery, wheel spin. Bigger tyre the better for road class.

i hope there arent too many rules or i wont know what class i fit in not even sure what tyres the r35 has on it, as far as rating goes?!! :)

lol, your tyres are ok. they are the dunlops. :) SP Sport 600 or some such.

I want to know why there is a SuperLap TimeAttack prior to Superlap Timeattack 1... Does Steve-o suffer from premature postulation?

lol oops

Ive spoken to nathan about this, as long as the first event goes well he's going to try and have that class (weekend fun car, talentless drivers: me included) in the next one

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
