The EVO split the plenum where the idle control stepper motor bolts on.

bummer :banana: the car was super quick all day. and in fact all the cars seemed to be pretty reliable with no big stacks and no big blow ups which was nice to see. a few little dramas but nothing that caused any oil downs etc.

Vi-PEC wins Superlap !!!

Well done Insight Motorsport on taking out the Superlap Event.

Scott Kuhner has prepared, engineered and tuned the car and runs a V88 ecu and uses E85 fuel.

Scotty did plenty of hours on the car up to the event and did plenty of overnight 5am sessions on it to get it ready.

top stuff guys.

They also took out clubsprint event in the evo9 which uses a Vi-PEC pnp ecu and uses E85.

AND Federal 595RS-R tyres Paul :banana:

Ahhh... good to hear that it's only a minor problem.

Everyone was a little shocked, we were all hoping to see 1:11s from the car in the balls-out flying lap :banana:

We have too many brand whores on this forum :banana:

I think you're overreacting steve.. I dont think you'd be getting so worked up if you were drinking an icy cold Coca Cola. Taste the sensation.

Congrats to all the competitors and winners!

I was there on the Saturday (Black S13 with GT wing) but couldnt make it on the Sunday unfortunately.

Not many cars were there on the Saturday but still more than enough to drool over!

Notice the natsoft times dont show all competitors - there were 2 nice R32 GTR's at the practise but arent showing any times on natsoft. Anyone know what happened to them and what they ran?

Adz picked it. the track was definitely slower than last year. :D maybe 1 to 2 seconds off. possibly due to lots of rain during the week and no big events with cars on slicks running for a bit. when I was driving on saturday the track felt very green.

which just goes to show how fast the evo with garth driving is. he still bagged a flat 12 which is stupid fast! well done to those guys.

mark and russ were happy. a 13.6 on the cars first outing was great, and that was with no front drive. the car was toasting the rear tyres for most of the track. apart from that the car ran faultlessly all day. :ninja:

haha, it looks like a drift car!

I wonder if the front drive problem is the same issue they had with the 33 gtr at the Bathurst sprint.

Didnt the BSM cars go through a similar spate of problems a while back?

Regardless it sounds like this car is going to be a total time attack weapon when they get power to all 4.

Big showing for Vi-PEC in its 1st serious event...maybe they can now be considered as a REAL alternative to MoTeC...as they removed the MoTeC that Garth used to run and fitted the Vi-PEC with a marked improvement in the running of the engine.

Considered an alternative to the best ecu in the world,,,settle down tiger.

More like it was Garth's great driving than an ecu change.

I think I know what I'm talking about and Garth was screaming through T1 and up to T2,,,way faster and smoother than anybody else. When you can get off the throttle and get back on it between T1 and T2 says a lot for your driving and car setup.

I think his quick times had more to do with a well sorted suspension and the driver extracting the best from it.

Anyone know if the black R32 GTSt from Vic got through the day with no dramas? Hope Russ Jr went well in the little GTSt.

Good times!

I had so much fun. I really under-estimated the track though. It is such a drivers track and suspension is super important and revealed some big weaknesses in my setup. If only I knew a few weeks ago I would have come up for the sat as well. I would have made a world of difference knowing the track. My only practice is on V8 supercars on xbox haha. And they handle better on xbox.

Ending up with a 1:24:3 is good enough for me for first time out. I started on high 1:26s so came down nearly 3 secs.

Quality of cars was outstanding. Blew me away and plenty of inspiration for the lower budget competitors. I hope that superlap continues to do these events. I spoke to the Yokohama guys and they seemed keen enough to continue if they get support. I was plugging a Sandown superlap to the sponsors and organisers the whole time I was there!!! :down:

Oh yeah... and I officiall got the best prize even if I wasn't that fast! Advan RS wheels from the raffle haha! I spent a lot of money (for my budget) getting to superlap so it was incredible to get something back.

also was great too watch John boston get round the track , loved it! i tried to stick with him in the r35 but the bloody thing was handling like a boat!! i had no chance but got a few lines off him before he got away ! thanks JB

We just got home now and pretty tired but i am going to post a link to a little incar of our drift pig, mark drove it bloody well considering, it certainly was a bit of a handful!

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
