Different cars, different tyres and need to be driven differently. So i dont think you can say Mark is giving away much behind the wheel jsut from looking at that vid

It just looked like he was using a little less of the track is all.

Marks laps in the video looked very clean indeed!... I would say that comparing the S2000 v the GTR lap, the GTR was the one that had less drama about it... throttle application was smooth, and tended to be only 1 go at it...

what was the lap time difference between the 32 v 35 and say the S2000???

JB's driving style certainly is exciting to watch!!! butI'm not so sure on it bringing the fastest lap time.

LOL as ROY said williamsf1, you could not even compare the two driving styles in two very very different cars. Believe me, I was trying to drive to S2000 smooth. Ummmmmm 450HP atw, RWD, road tyres vs anything AWD is going to look................lets say different. I think Mark is doing a super job in the R32 vid :P

The S2000 is on street tyres, so to get the best out of something with no grip will always mean its going to be a little greasy through the corners as it is wrestled through

Don't forget rwd vs 4wd as well

edit, looks like boz beat me to it....

JB sorry if you took that as having a go, far from it.... Just an observation comparing both videos, thats all.

Paul Kemal tells me you should have been in an ARC this year? that would have been good to see!!!

The S2000 looks quiet neutral on turn in, but even before you make for the throttle, it has a big dose of oversteer mid-corner.... is this all tyre related? or might it do with a softer rear bar? (presuming you will drive it again??)

Sometimes it is hard to understand the way some people write things on forums and sms. I did not take it the wrong way at all Ben, all good mate.

Ah yes Pablo lol I have been wanting to get into the series for a while. Had the deal done with a V8 team (the aussie car was going to be the same colours as the V8 supercar etc) and then all of a sudden the budget was put into the V8 :P

The tyres on the S2000 make a huge difference. I suppose it would be nice to take it out and have a play with the suspension to see if we could improve it. This car was really just put together as a toy and has never been tuned for the track until now.

The main thing we have been playing with is the turbo and boost, just to try and make it a bit more driveable :P

i think we need to talk, the fact that you are doing brake upgrades is scaring me when you would usually be looking for a chute lever.....are you a bit confused pauly? let me know about those Brembos. After seeing some of these vids, ive got a feeling the standard brakes with pad upgrade will not cut it....keen to get the chevy out amongst it.

Just bought some ex DJR AP 6 spots with 4 sets of 375mm rotors....nice.

standard brembos with race pads are all we are allowed to run on the production car. they are holding up OK with the power we make, but the GTRs doing superlap are making at least 150kw more than my car.

I would be chasing a catch can first before brakes my be djr has a dry sump tank you could convert to a catch can 10 litre should do the job lol :O

The engine was breathing more than a litre a lap...even on the out lap!....sump is a 10 litre jobbie so we may get 2 hot laps before we have to pit and empty then fill up...lol.

Catch tank is sorted...same style we run on twoogle...and baffling the rocker covers the same also.

This will not fix the problem on a track car only good on a drag car where you are only flat out for 10 seconds not for ten mins if you need a hand with the set up give me a call :O

Hi Boz you did a great job driving the 2000 looked tops coming onto the straight ,when you got the win and people started to bag you out you should have given them the Jim Richards talk "YOU S ARE A PACK OF ARSE HOLES"everyone has the same chance to practice at the track like Boz and he is a very helpful guy that would be more then happy to teach you how to get around the track quicker to improve your pb keep up the good work Boz but look out next round lol

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
