I think I'll be timing officially this time with a proper track timer - plus the old man will bring out his mega uber camera so pics will be available after. Gonna strap the video camera in the car too - so track footage should be cool.....

im keen to try and make it out. if i have enough time / money to get my car reddy.

what time do u have to get there?

I think last time we tried to be there by 8am, gives plenty of time to sign in and get the car all set up.

bit more camber for the track Chad?

I wish, but i dont have any camber adjustment. Just gonna make sure its all lined up right, cos the toe in on the back looks way out on one side.

Im keen to come have a look, interested in getting my car into this sort of thing, goes well through the hills but would imagine it would need a few tweaks to get the power down around a track and run a decent time. Im interested to see a few of the set-ups other higher powered GTRs run.

A few questions:-

Is Anyone alowed in the pits?

Does the day still go ahead if its a hot day?

What time it start, and how much $ to spectate?

Cheers

Andrew

spectators are allowed anywhere except the "car park" where the cars line up to go out onto the track, and the track itself. The cars all park around the sheds, you can only have one opened if you pay for it. So when people aren't racing, you can wander around and look at everyones cars, if thats what your hinting at :thumbsup:

A few questions:-

Is Anyone alowed in the pits? YES

Does the day still go ahead if its a hot day? YES, but if its to hot i wont be going.

What time it start, and how much $ to spectate? starts about 9ish i think, and entry if free for spectators.

Cheers

Would the exact same mounting work for a 32 gtr? my cooler kit is coming soon (same except only 16 rows and braided lines) and I don't even know how to take the front bumper off.

How did you make up those mounting brackets?

Im pretty sure it would mount the same in a GTR, depends on what BOV you have? I've got a single aftermarket one so it doesent take up much space.

I made up those brackets at work just using some 3mm alloy sheet that i cut up in the gillo.

looks the goods Chad.

Have to put my brake ducts in this week as well as change engine oil, put fire extinguisher in, and do a full check of the car.

Just wondering if i take my back seat out do i need to block the hole off to the boot?

It should be fine Luke, there's no car checks or anything.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
