John, Why dont you drive it?

Actually - Duncan will drive yours and I'll drive Duncans!!!

Why, because JB is at least a second faster than me, and easiest second I wil ever get. I am not slow he is a freak and does it more so. I drove it 13 track days last year, so plenty of fun. As a business and representing my company it would be a luxury for me to drive it at this event. Apart from Mark Berry how many cars in pro class are driven by the owner???

Duncan drives it no probs and lucky fats won't fit in it. I could not deal with Pete being faster than me also.

Engine swap on the way VQ30 100kg lighter, there is asecond or two straight off.

Just wondering is the Hioctane r34 the only serious gtr running?

It would be great if they could get that yellow 34 with the bright green rims from japan comes over here.

Looks like there is going to be some quick evo's running at this meet i hope mark's car comes through with the goods for us skyline fans.

any more goss who is coming from the states? and is anyone coming from the UK?

What about one of those stroker kits out of th eUS for the VQ35, dont they get them out to 4.2L or something truly silly ?

Yes Bris but cost and don't need to much more power but it would be nice. Cubes equals torque.

Check this out.

Superlap info from USA SIte.

The Cyber Evo or whatever it's called is gonna be nuts fast. Do not miss it!

Also, Giants 34 is undergoing some mild mods in an effort to make it faster still, keep your eyes peeled :) And yes, getting the 4WD to work is also high on the priority list. haha

Sierra Sierra is coming from the states (and they will be quick) don't think any UK cars are coming. we would love to have had the M-speed GTR here and tried. there are a few good japanese cars coming, and yes there will be some other serious GTRs there. The "old" Hi-octane GTR (the black 32) should be back with a few mods since last time it was there. some pretty tasty mods at that. and like marlin said Mark is working away on the 34 so that it should be quicker too (don't forget it's already well into the 1 minute 30 second range at EC!!). It's going to be a great event.

I might need to get serious then. This will be MASSIVE. Especially with Baron turning up.

They should otherwise the cardy wearing Zed community might take the space. LOL

Especially as it is obviiously getting bigger, worth being part of.

Ive contacted the SAU NSW President about the corporate box...see what happens

So cant wait for this event!!

I am also looking for any volunteers and officials that would like to help out at superlap?????? Please contact me!! :ph34r:

I will be putting a thread up shortly with further details :down:

    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
    • Yeah, well I was probably way underguessing the $300 figure anyway. Just multiplied a "normal" by 4 for the purposes of pointing out it's not cheap, particularly if it has to be repeated.
    • We have an alignment shop out here that does what you're talking about but he wants like 800 AUD a pop. DIY is "cheaper" but once you start accounting for the value of your time I'm not sure it's worth it.
    • The main catch phrase for any car is "the eye of the beholder", and "personal tastes and preferences" And as for the plastic "flares", I honestly think they look cheap and tacky, and I cannot see them aging well, maybe if they were body colour they might look better to my eyes, but, I would still prefer it the were more like the older WRX STI models that had the wider body metal panels In saying all this 5hit, I wouldn't buy a new WRX again, even if it had the wide body metal panels
