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

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
