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

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?

      Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)

      +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
