The PRO class list has not changed in a while, but the others are growing every week

Not sure why it would say updated 9th Jan 09.

Give Nathan from Superlap a call or send him an email if you are keen.

I have just entered another car, so it is not full yet.

i didnt realise the lotus your running is Jason Micaliffs. Was speaking to him yesterday afternoon and he was saying your good for at least a second a lap. Your a bit special Boz. Then i gave it to him a bit for not driving his own car lol. but its a serious event now and very competative.

Tested the Pulse Racing Subaru that I will be running in Open yesterday. A pretty fast thing indeed :D

Yep the Lotii's are not running in PRO.....written off, not ready etc etc

You people are all so well informed in this little world.

Yes one lotus, the yellow one, was written off.

The other one, the blue one, which did 1:12.0 last year to set FTD, yet somehow had the time voided after some whinging by other teams...... blah blah

.. the blue one was NEVER entered. Been there done that. For some reason we were put on the entry list. Not our doing. Perhaps the organisers wanted some variety??

We are sticking to production sports racing. Too much $ being thrown around on hand-grenade enigines here for us. You would be shocked of you actually compared the cost (both purchase and running) of our Lotus with these datsuns. our car is set up to run flat stick for 1-hour races, our engine is stock 9apart from the blower!), from a front-cut integra, and un-touched after two years of racing.

All the anti-lotus talk is interesting. Given that both the cars from last year were road registered and used wrecker engines, it's quite laughable to say it's unfair that 700hp GTR's shouldn't have to compete with 4-pot 2 litre tupperware containers on wheels.........

I wish you all well at Superlap. have fun.

OK :P

im not sure if its Skylines or Skyline owners that you havent got much time for, but im shore that in any class of racing someone is going to whinge about something....You can see why the GTR boys would be upset though, 1200hp 4WD, definately behind the eight ball.

those "cars with wrecker engines" as you call them still cost more than most of the datsuns so shut it with the trying to down play the obvious advantage of a race bred chassis with masive power upgrades and the overall weight of a fart in a bottle.

These datsuns all run datsun engines too. Trot ya gutless lotus out with its original engine intact and see how it fares against the dattos. Meanwhile, find the tissue box.

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
