Bel has only just started playing with suspension in that last session they had other issues before that session they ran the 44. They were about to make more changes for the last session but the day had to end because of oil on the track. Remember the Bel car has under 300kw.

As it stands at the moment we have almost DOUBLE the amount of EOI forms as we have entry spots as we have been limited to 70 odd entries as we want to maximize the track time we give you guys. I want to give Open Class an hour on the track and Clubsprint Class 45minutes. As it stands Open Class may very well end up being an invite only affair for this first event.

:P I doubt the old-school Datto would make the invite list - assuming Superlap is Late Model JDM focussed.

Can you put me back to my original EOI for the JZA80 Supra in Clubman class. I don't want to miss out on this event all together!

Yes from memory Dave told me that it already has around 320kw at all 4 wheels. That is pretty impressive numbers coming out of a 4 cylinder. When I saw it at wakey they were running around 280kw at the wheels, as it was just a test and tune day. As many people know, that car should be super fast considering the coin that has been spent on it.

BRING THE DATTO HARRY!!! PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT :)

mate I'd rather bring the Datto, but I don't think it will get an invite. Its not late model JDM car which is probably their target audience, its not a workshop car, I'm not well known in Sydney motorsport circles, or to the organisers...

I think if you have to limit entries, the first thing to do would be to restrict drivers to one vehicle - there's one guy listed as driving 3 different cars on the entry lists! Same should apply to workshops - its pointless having one workshop entering 2 or more cars in the same class, unless they're at least in different sub-categories (ie rwd, awd, 6cyl, 4cyl etc). Just my thoughts.

Yes they wer eonly out there for testing on the weekend and they were planing to go for a fast time in their last session but they never got that session. I was a bit disappointed about that as I was interested to see what the car was capabale of in its current state. Also a bit disappointed that Cameron ( Orange Evo 8MR ) from QLD had issues early in the day and didnt get a chance to put in some fast laps as I think that car will be quite fast now also.

What you will find is that most of the cars are not workshop cars. Yes on the list they are listed as it but the vehicles were just built there but are privately owned and we do not have the owners full details so we have keft them listed with the workshop name there. I will know how we will go with numbers after this weekend as there is a mini test day happening to workout format etc.

The Friday practice is out unfortunately as the track is already fully booked. HOWEVER if we have enough interest I can get it on the Tuesday the week before so that would be July 1st. It depend son how much interest we get as to wether this will go ahead or not.

Oh and I have replied to your PM Steve.

I throw your rocks back :thumbsup:

It was raining in the morning, it was then wet with partial dry lines, then it was dry. But then a Wrecks dropped it's oil everywhere. So no chance to get a full dry run hence reasonable to assess a faster time was likely.

If you spend some time racing with BEL or at events they compete in you will get to know how they work. They always run at half pace for the first half of the day testing their setup etc then in the last 2 sessions of the day they decide to start to set fast times. they are known for this they did it at all the Circuit Battle events, run at 6000rpm all day untill the last session then run full noise in the last session and go as fast as they possibly can. Gives people false hopes about how fast their cars are and how "slow" the BEL car is. It is a good way to catch people off guard.

      Nice car! Looking at your GTS; makes me wonder why I bought a GTS-t... Everything has been changed anyway. I should have just started with a non turbo model.

      Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4

      Dual exhaust questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By 32.det · Posted

      Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
