The Alford GTR will be competing in Support of the V8's in the Australian GT series

http://www.australiangt.com.au/_assets/ENT...%20BATHURST.pdf

Should be a great class battle between the Z06, GTR and Exige. Last time At EC the Exige came out on top

My money will be on a clean sweep by Wall in the Cup S (but then again i am biased towards this team).

However with the amount of restriction on the 997 the lambo's will be strong. Viper will be unstoppable down the straights and the Aston shouldn't be too slow either so should be a good weekend of racing .

Better than the taxi's at least

Oh also forgot races will be televised :)

Seen the exige up close quite recently, real nice car. I know the Chief Engineer. Watch out for it, they have done something special to it.

Having both R35 and highly moded Exige (240R spec) in my Garage...

I can't see the Exige winning over an R35 in the Prod Class on anything but the smallest of tracks ....as the Exige just does not have the legs.....

But hey.......all it takes is some talented driver and one Exige getting trashed to an inch of implosion.

wonder what sort of handicaps each competitor runs?

Its a case by case situation.

The Wall Cup S has everything under the sun short of having to tow a caravan to slow it down. To a point where it was dangerous (and outside FIA regs at the Clipsal)

So the more success = Greater restrictions on the car.

My Bad, I misunderstood the classes. I didn't read whiplash's original post properly about the production class. :ermm:

The car I am talking about is the Elise GT3 car in the championship not production class.

Go the GTR in production class :rant:

Them is some pretty hopeless lap times for an R35. Was it raining?

You will remember that Luff ran a Bathurst lap time in a bog stock Aussie R35, wearing Bridgestones,

on a damp track, requiring him to brake and lose 50km/h before entering the chase.

He still ran a 2:25.

What gives? I would expected better from a stock GT-R, let alone a race prepped one.

No nissan pulled out of being the safety car.

V8 supercar want the GTR to be painted in XXXX colours and nissan refused to have the "safety" car linked with alcohol. Fair enough i say, so Nissan took the car back and now AUDI supply the safety car

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
