that would be a 1.37.8 (2nd outright) excellent time for one Mr Mark Berry?

And we do have some pic of Stuart's 33 (and some better pics of all SAU-ers :P) floating around on that new high tech camera...

if only i could work out how to actually download them...

yeah, 1.37.8 was fantastic! but we were still battling a few little problems and mainly just trying out some different tyres etc. with a set of new softs on it would go quicker and with the few little issues ironed out even quicker again. Mark said on saturday he reckoned with it all going well a 36 would be do-able and having seen how he did the 37 I would say maybe even a 35 or better would be possible. imagine how it would go on a set of good slicks. a car like this would really benefit from slicks as it's still on tiny 265/18inch yokohama A050 semi slicks. they are doing a very good job though to get that much power and that much car around the track. guys run tyres that big or bigger on mild-ish evo etc!

the white radical was pretty cool. it must have about 1hp/kg power to weight ratio with the V8 in it. it does 1:28s though so it's a whole other ball game from cars like marks. and it should be I guess being a purpose built LMP style race car vs a road car mark built himself. :devil:

it was good to see lots of SAU guys doing well. Neil did well in the radical, and duncan did really well to be just 2 10ths of neils radical! that is insane considering duncan drives his home and it's on semis vs slicks! just goes to show the potential in the R35. Marek did really well too.

I didn't get to see much of Inwoods R33 but it looked quick out there and was obviously doing well. good stuff. and I spoke to another couple of guys with a white GTST that had come down from newcastle. it was their first skyline just recently purchased and they seemed to be enjoying it.

Well what a fun and interesting day,,,It didn't start very well,,,but it ended up just fine. Lots of work to do,,,I have a list a mile long but we got through the day and we went quicker basically every session.

I beleive the "Raceworx" hoodoo is now null and void.

Massive THANKS to my pit crew who worked tirelessly all day.

The 1st lady who as usual polished the whole car,,,cleaned my helmet ect and looked after me and our tummys all day.

Kel and Duncan what can I say but a HGE thank you. I even got in trouble for trying to refuel the car and spilling it,,,Sorry Kel.

Congrats have to go the GTR's,,,Mark,,,Stuart,,,Duncan and Marek,,,all in the top 10. Well done boys. If it wasn't for that pesky Radical SR8,,,Mark would been outright winner!!!.

If you need to know what an SR8 is running,,,heres a quick little run down:-

1/ Basically two Suzuki hayabusa engines mated together to make a V8.

2/ Dry sumped of course.

3/ Paddle shift with auto blip down the gearbox and the same as me flat shift up the box.

4/ Basically F3 rubber,,,tyre warmed,,,thats sucks.

5/ Weight,,,if mine is 510 kilo's then it can't weigh more than 650.

Oh what about the camera work,,,nice indeed. Looks like the new camera set-up works a treat.

Neil.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
