good to see prices have come down!

but yeah, considering therers that European car club event for 4 hours @ night for 345 bucks.....superlap over two days for clubsprint does seem a bargain!!!

I'll hopefully be an official in pit lane :P (cough jess pitlane plz cough cough)

We need to have something to say we are all from here and meet up and have beers, like an SAU superlap shirt or singlet made up!

the new prices arnt really cheaper! that entry dosnt include any pit crew passes so $675 + 3 crew a $100 for the weekend = $975

all they did was make it look better the initial cost i like the last cost $88o and 3 pit crew passes for the weekend!

Again, it comes down to the costs of hosting this event, several hundred thousands of dollars is my guess, and somehow these costs need to be recouped.

I see no problem with crew being charged an entry fee, after all they get complete access and are of course spectators also.

Most major events I go to the crew registration attracts some form of monetary charge.

all im saying is if ppl realize they are now going to be paying more than if they kept there mounts shut and paid the $880 first up.

fair enough if you have no friends and your going by yourself it will work out cheaper for you.

well personally i thought the original pricing was spot on considering the type of event and what's included (entry, crew passes etc). but clearly lots of folk complained and they got what they asked for!

too true!

Hey BB would a fairly powerful (600hp or so), well sorted 32/33/34 GTR with a good driver stand a chance in clubsprint? No I'm not thinking of entering, I said GOOD driver lol...

just curious if anyone will be able to give the 35's a scare... my hunch is no but never hurts to bring up controversial topics hehehe

the biggest factor will be tyres i reckon

No chance, unless someone like Bozman was driving the 32/33/34.

The R35's will dominate!!!! :D

it would be pretty tough. the problem is tyres. (like LSX said). a 32/33/34 with 600hp really needs semis to get it down and run some good times. they are just too heavy and too powerful for high performance road tyres. The R35 has a bit of advantage as it has 500hp from the factory and it's factory tyres are chosen around that power figure. the 32/33/34 came with 280hp....

I think the key in clubsprint (apart from a nice R35) will be something fairly light, with decent but fairly humble power output (compared to the pro class guys) and getting the most out of it's chassis to work with whatever road tyres it's stuck on. look at cars like the S2000 that did well before. fairly light car, decent power, good chassis. GTRs on road tyres just do not have the corner speed to get the times down and no amount of power will help them. Any GTR with 600hp should just go in pro class where they can use tyres that suit. :)

for clubsprint I reckon something like a well prepped S14 or S15 with around 300rwkw, very light body and lots of time spent setting up the suspension with the road tyres would be a good contender.

good stuff mate. they should just about re-name 'clubsprint class' to the 'R35 Cup'.... lol.

good thing there's classes for RWD and stuff as well!

realisticly I dont think any 2wd vehicle has a chance against a good AWD vehicle in Clubsprint. Anytime where cars are traction/grip limited (eg in the wet, or when forced to run street tyres) AWD is a massive advantage. If you want to challenge the R35 in clubsprint, then a modified EVO is the only way to go IMO

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.

      Wheel refurb?

      By blind_elk · Posted

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
