Time for an update on this one. A great example of a car thats driven rather than garaged the SlipR35 has been out and about so far this year and with some exception all round results. The highlight of which was the outright P1 at Mt Alma Mile the fastest and most hotly contested hillclimb on this side of the nation

Several Time Attacks finishing in the Top 5 (on radials) and slick shod 12 second laps of Mallala all show how good this car is, particularly it has a new carbon set of skins on it - rear bar, front bar, bonnet, fenders, doors...its got the lot

Working out hard this weekend as course car at the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally...and looking dirty, like a properly used GTR

And there goes ALL the silver..........It was only a matter of time

for the CARBON KING!!!

Why'd you go for the optional super silver when you bought the car Seb? :nyaanyaa:

Oh and it was more impressive watching your loosely termed "course car" tearing up wickhams hill than 90% of the competitors!

Was good to see you Dave. That was a fun stage with some tight hairpins and quite a bit of loose gravel all over the road for the first few k's. GTR went well all weekend and never missed a beat.

I think Seb was just trying to put a price on Carbon..... :cheers::worship:

Fungoolie, show us the vids please, thanks, ta :)

Sorry Martin, I left the vid camera behind and my phone was nearly dead. As they say in the classics...Spewin'....:spank:

awesome build guys. so many nice features on the car, I have to say I LOVED the first colour scheme with the silver/stripes look. very cool. love the side stripe that starts from the front guard vent. very cool build and good to see you out there piloting the thing Slip. it's a beautiful car.

Off with the Tarmac Rally hat, and back into the Circuit suit

Carbon King is ready to go again at Time Attack Round 3 in two weeks time :)

With reports of bent rods occurring in GTR's with around 700+ AWHP it's time to upgrade the engine internals and step it up a level to get some more reliability at higher horsepower. A new AMS Alpha 10 VR38 race engine is on the way. The AMS kits have been proven to give reliable low 9 sec passes with around 1,000+ AWHP: AMS Alpha 10 info link

The AMS Alpha 10 engine kit will include some optional gear such as block strengthening and the AMS spece CNC machined heads with upgraded cams, list below:

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
