We are nearly ready...just swapped all the adjustable suspension/arms/rods out of the drag car into the circuit car....yes all the so called 'drag' set-up is in our superlap car now. Doing alignment, brake pads and lines tomm. so Luke can have a bit of a feel of the set-up before the event. Mark will be doing final tuning Friday before the event and final set-up will probably occur in pit lane after the first session. :D

John P...after all the talking you were doing the other day i hope your car is going to be ready....with you behind the wheel showing us all how its done in the worlds most modified "Z". :woot:

Do not under estimate any Lotus. HKS took the super cheater spec EVO that holds the Tsukuba Super Lap

record to Sepang and there was a car that was developed by Proton or something that wiped the floor with it. It was up for sale a few months ago and sold for about 230,000 pounds.

Just looked to see if there are any vids and i think this is the car

The Lotus Sports Exige 300RR was built for Lotus' parent company, Proton Cars. Based on the award winning aluminum bonded chassis of the production Elise, the Exige 300RR was Intended to be Lotus' reentry into International level motorsports. The one of a kind Exige 300RR is powered by a 400BHP Swindon built GM V6 derived from a DTM unit.

Performance Data

Weight: 1580 lbs

Engine Builder: Swindon

Manufacturer: GM

Type: GM V6 DTM Spec

Displacement: 3000cc

Horsepower: 400BHP

Torque: 340NM

Induction: N/A

Manfacturer: Hewland Sequential

Body Construction: Dry Carbon Fibre

Color: Red/White

Shocks: Ohlins

Brakes: AP Racing

that thing looks awesome, but you would think after all that effort they could have at least put a carbon seat in it instead of the fibreglass version, especially in a car that really has it's light weight as the key to it's pace. bloody tight asses!

Who, what, when??

Hey Brad, I thought when I was driving the wheels were in the air!!!! I don't think they touched the ripples :D

Seriously guys, one day at Oran touching ripples on the unloaded side of the car is not going to put your alignment out. Imagine the V8 supercars halfway through Bathurst LOL How could they make it to the finish line with all of there ripple touching.

Bring on superlap, I can't wait to 2 wheel JP's ZED :P:)

I hope your not going to tell me he's not driving his car...after all the dribble, this is his chance to finally "walk the walk" and show us all his talent.

JP your SOFT !! :)

As if John would give up the chance to drive his almighty zed at the first huge time attack event in the country???

My understanding of Bozman's post was that he is going to overtake John on 2 wheels!!! :)

Am I correct???

WTF is JP thinking?? Can't believe he doesn't want to drive??

the bloke has proven he is nothing more than a gum flapper, circuit racing is his supposed genre in the motorsport world but has now shown his true colours.

lol Paul its big of you to give John grief for not driving when you're putting Luke Searle behind the wheel.

Doesn't look like many people are brave enough to drive their own cars. Gary is. Steve is. Kev Whitehead is. Mark and Russ is (are?). thats the only ones I know who are.

Hey mate...its not my car, its my business partners car...we are a 2 car team...one drag and one circuit/road...and i cant drive...what use would i be?...i only found out the other day what the middle pedal was used for!. Ill stick to building engines and racing drag cars...two things ive proven im good at. :)

JP is the one always hanging sh1t on me mate...and talking himself up...im just returning serve.

After all the dribble he gave me at his shop the other day Dunc's you'd be backing me up.

I have admiration for the skill it takes to race a circuit car as i have done many twisty laps myself and have respect for you all. The respect just never comes back the other way and we put up with a lot of sh1t from the 'roundy roundy' brigade. So im think im more than entitled to have a little spray.

No sheepstations will be passing hands after the event and if i had a car like JP's and the skill he always tells me about, there is no way id miss out on the fun to be had racing in an event like this. I think its a bit sad really and a bad call on his behalf....and im sure on the day one he'll probably regret.

Yep, the lotus is parked for this event.

JP has offered me the drive of his car as all can see. I have not driven it that much, but it should be pretty quick around the GP. I think JP has done a 17 or 18 in it, and to be fair has not had too much experience around the GP circuit.

Looking forward to the challenge ;)

I think my first drive of it in its current setup will be on the 5th July!!!

I think JP is thinking with his head and not his heart. Of course he wants to drive himself, but he wants the best for his business. Gives him more time to walk around the pits and answer questions about his toy.

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah - the Hitachi core is huge (long) and the core Tao uses is quite short, so the compressor housing moves backwards. But I wouldn't let that stop me. In fact, I didn't. But I imagine that the correct thing to do is to go for the latest G series on an Artec manifold. In V band. And f**k the twin scroll, because short short Artec manifold runners + easy install/removal/adjustment outweigh the small loss in spool.

      R34 seats in R32 with aftermarket seat rails

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. You can't fit aftermarket rails onto Nissan seats. Not without way more pain than many more sensible options, anyway. FWIW, I bought some R34 seats to put into my R32, and I didn't like the look of what needed to be done to make them fit. It's not just "mod one hole", because they don't sit flat anyway. So I pissed them off and put in some Bride reps, which is a far superior outcome.

      R34 seats in R32 with aftermarket seat rails

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Would R34 GTT seats fit into R32 Gtst ? I’m aware they can technically fit with modifying 1 out of 4 holes but was wondering if they would fit without modification with some sort of aftermarket seat rail ?    I know atleast one of you gurus can help me 😅 cheers

      So here is an interesting vid, some proper abuse.    What I realised today is the ultra flywheel might mean no adapter ring !  Have emailed them to confirm.

      Wasn't there some discussion of how the Hypergear high flow actually has different dimensions so it's not a true bolt-on replacement? Honestly if that's the case I would consider just going true twin scroll and go down a massive rabbit hole of getting all that to package as close to stock as possible.
