& Mark reckons his shitbox r34 is fast, the r32 will rein supreme!!! :P

'king oath it will. we can line the spare aero bits for the 34 with lead that's a start. and then before mark goes out we just need to let a few psi out of one tyre and see how he copes with that... now who's laughing!!!

the 32 has moved up a notch for sure. hell it even has an aftermarket steering wheel now... watch out berry. it's coming for you. :P

ps when I got the text on saturday night I was a bit pissed and thought the smiley face was a frowny face. stupid blurry vision. had been making mojito's to cool down and they were tasty and about the only useful thing you can do with a bottle of bacardi and a giant mint plant.

Mate I want to be in the line up. Filling out the cams license application as we speak. Knowing what the requirements are for my type of vehicle would help heaps.

I still cant get my head around last years regs re tyre eligibility etc. If i read it correctly they are grouping marginal tyres like the feddy RSR'sand the Khumos in with full blown track semi's. Can anybody enlighten me on this.

Obviously tyre seletion is crucial.

Last year they considered Federal 595RS tyres to be semi slicks. It all comes down to the UTQG

rating. If lower than 100, then the tyre is considered a semi slick.

What Kuhmo tyres are you talking about being grouped in "full blown track semis"? KU36, V700?

I'm not familiar with the khumo range at all nismo. I was asking a general question in relation to info given by another. Ignore it if its irelevant bud.

Nathan it will be easier to pick a class to enter once the classes and rules are released! You need to get the info out asap so people know what they can and can't do.

Russ....good to hear about the car....why would you stuff around with a 35 when you have a perfectly good 32 around?!?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By Duncan · Posted

      wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?

      nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
