Will there be timing on Friday?

How about some predictions for Pro, Open & Clubsprint times (probably already covered earlier...)

Pro - 1:34??

Open - 1:39??

Club - 1:44??

Anyone....??

^^ I reckon that is a good starting point for lap times. Are you talking about the fastest car in each class with those times?

There are alot of street registered cars with plenty of mumbo, they could get down to a 1:44 in Club class.

Sub 1:40 should be achievable in Open class and I think we may even see a 1:30 in Pro class

Perhaps the Club class goal of 1:44 is too low?

I've done a 1:49 there on semi's with 190rwk's in my Silvia so maybe 1:48 is more realistic? I don't know what type of power and mods the best of the club class cars have?

Any ideas on who might be at the top in Club class? Any specs or details on the favourite in Club Class?

Only time will tell......

i'm with marlin. if track is good 1:32 will win pro. if tracks off it could be as 'slow' as a 1:34. so maybe middle ground of a 33 will be on the money. eastern creek does vary a bit depending on track condition.

open class maybe 1:36 to win on a good day 1:38 on a slow day.

club is an interesting one. I'm not really sure but I'd guess the top guys will be in the low 40s. maybe a dead 40 or 41 will do it.

1:44's is pretty close to the mark for clubsprint (perhaps +/- a second or so) i would say

Most of the international guys would have to be here by now. Has anyone seen them out on track?

im curious as to how the visitors go about getting the cars around and stuff while over here?? do they organise it, grab a yellow pages and find a tilt tray... or does the event organiser take care of them and organise everything they need??

where are the cars kept?? at the track?? at their hotel?? at the event coordinators house/workshop etc??

im just wondering if theres 10 full blown time attack cars sitting in a hotel carpark somewhere... that would be a fantastic sight.

lol, Ian from hi octane is helping the OS guys with organising transport etc for them. as for where the cars are at any given moment I don't think that knowledge would want to be made public as sadly there are people out there who would see it as an opportunity for theft or vandalism either of which would be devastating to the event and peoples image of our country.

      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.
