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.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 馃槢 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
