Would be good to see a Dave vrs John battle!!

Ill supply the 2nd GTR.

I may give it a look this year Duncan, the cost is what makes it overkill to me but I do have a potential bathurst weekend before this that I may need to fund.

12hr ?

I would personally thing RE55s would make a big difference at a place like OP. Its a 1:17sec odd lap so i would think that tyres could bag you two seconds? Can understand how on a shorter track like Wakefield you will struggle to get 2 seconds....but plenty of long turns and changes of direction at OP

12 hr would be nice but not in the GTR.

Its a weekend with the FOSC car club. Its early April so may have the car in preparation during march if I get an invite and aceptance.

It wont be my Grey GTR. unless the new owner enters it. Ill have the new improved model done come January

Luke's teaming with Paul Morris and Barry Morcom in a Bimmer, will be going up to give them a hand (read: get in their way and be totally useless)

I remember in the wash-up of the last superlap event that there were issues with cars having ring in drivers driving in classes other than pro. was this an issue because the drivers were experienced or because they were pro drivers? will the pro drivers be able to drive in the more amature classes again next year? I think it a little weird someone getting someone else to drive there car, but hey if the offers there....

there was no pro class last year. Bozz drove in clubman last year which got a few people entered in that class noses out of joint. I didn't agree with it either but a least i had the intestinal fortitude to voice it openly instead of whinging about the guy behind his back. Our car was more than eligible to complete in clubman but due to Luke driving it we thought it only fair to complete in the open class. We would be more than happy to enter the pro class but its invite only...so its opens for us.

Stuie, no one entered V8 class last year so no trophy was awarded, its yours for the taking Stu!

Hey DiRTgarage, tell Luke I said hello. How is his Kart venture going? He is such a polite guy. It was great to catch up with him at a Lexus day I was instructing at. He rocked up as guest the flog some cars around Eastern Creek haha

So many people asking questions about the rules....Ask Nathan from Superlap or look at the site :P

My understanding is

PRO: Invite only. Cars doing sub 1.15s, around 10 cars total. Cars like Lotus, Lofty, Mark/Russ, Garth Waldo/BEL. These are the serious machines. If I was running Penlingtons Zed again, this is probably where it will end up.

OPEN: Well it is open. This is what I will be running the S2000 in. Still want to know the exact rules on this classes re carbon doors, non glass windows etc which I think should not be allowed but hey that is me.

CLUBMAN: Owner of the car has to drive it. The original engine or configuration is not allowed to be change. ie Elias who owns the S2000 is not allowed to run in this class as he has put a turbo on an N/A car. Run the same tyres as last year, the crap ones :)

I have spoken to Nathan from Superlap, and that is my understanding from our conversation. Bring it on :D:)

The rules seem better this year and fairer for the 'weekend warriors' in clubman and separates the full-on guys (top ten in pro) from the hackers in opens (us)...Dave the owner of our car has been asked by myself and Luke to drive but he's a bit green when it comes to sedan racing. He's a whisker off Luke's lap record at the go-cart track and is a competant steerer actually smashing the old lap record set by a multiple state go-cart champ. He wants to see the car perform to its optimum and road rubber with him behind the wheel in clubman in our eyes just doesn't cut it. The engine is coming out over xmas and will be built in house by Red R so hopefully no nasty surprises when we front this time.

well perhaps have seats must be FIA approved but not necessary to have current FIA accreditation. basically most events under V8SC will allow you to run an out of date FIA seat providing it doesn't have any damage. I know plenty of folk running nice ex touring car/V8 seats that are a few years out of date as the second hand cost of say $1000 vs new cost of $4000 means out of date seats is all they will ever afford.

belts is another matter though, and given new FIA compliant 3 inch belts can be had from a couple hundred for RPM brand ones up to say $450 for top shelf willans ones means everyone should be able to afford them, and they last a few years too. but again, allowing belts just out of date with no damage or wear would not be a bad thing.

The rules suck as long as their isnt a class for balding blondes guys driving silver R32 GTSt that most of the time have an odd coloured panel and dents :P

what about the class for 1/8th mile drag cars with drivers who couldn't drive a greasy stick up a cats arse....no love.

I'll take your case up with ian mate. surely he can see sense in that. maybe first prize a bottle of canadian club and a free entry pass to mens gallery would be appropriate?

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
