My mate just got his new toy delivered...its Yuey Tan's Changi Airport sponsored Porsche Cup car that famously raced and beat a Boeing 747 in a promotional race prior to last years Singapore Grand Prix (see link). Before purchasing he also got to test drive the car for 2 days at Sepang and cut 7 seconds of his lap times after recieving some expert tuition.

The car adds to an already impressive stable of rides including a mint Porsche Cup 996 (never raced only ever used by its Japanese owner for the occaisional track day) GTR R34, GTR R32 (11000klm on it), and four very low klm Mazda rotaries (R100, RX4 Savanna etc)

During his stay in Malaysia he made some very good contacts and is planning to take both Porsches back to Sepang and hold track days there for those with pockets large enough. :D

He will be doing the Drive Bathurst day later this year in the new car...bastard!!

Will upload some phone pic shots tonight.

It is depressing how much money there is over here in Singapore and also Malaysia. Such expensive and uber cool toys everywhere. Except for the pink R35 i saw on Wednesday that had a black roof drift style and had the most obvious mask lines from the respray.

Cant wait to do Sepang, just have to wait and hear what car a friend is organising for me , i would rather a punt of this thing :D

Brad said having two whole days at Sepang test driving the car was an absolute blast...he learnt so much from having as he put it "Asia's Jim Richards" sitting next to him. Having the 996 for two years was a suitable 'appertiser' for this car...which i would put as a dessert served as a main!

I am in Joo Chiat, so sms me your contact number while here. I would love to go to Malaysia this weekend but too busy with work...

Out of interest do you know what sort of times he got down to at Sepang? I am hunting around trying to find out what a good time is.

      R32 goes out in right curves

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
