Hey Tim, I'd be interested to hear what's your history with the car.

I navved for Benny (Marlin) in it at Targa Tas in 2008, and prior to that I used to drool over it in the hands of Jason White.

Im sure Racepace has done an awesome job with it and I look forward to seeing it in action, you will have to bring it down here eventually.

For those that don't know Serg (which will be most people outside of SAUVIC) - he is not a competition nut - but more of a genuine motorsport (and especially GT-R) enthusiast.

He won't be asking Chris to find every last KW - but he will present a magnificant vehicle and will bring it home that way too.

Yeah understand that he's extremely passionate about the R's after speaking with Serge a few times on the phone :D

I was referring more to the large drop in grunt the car copped when it came of VP fuel onto 98 (having said that it would no doubt benefit from a really good tune). It would be a lot more fun to drive with some power, regardless of where you hope to place :D

Yeah I have to say my car sucks to drive now with the 3" and N1's. I haven't had a chance to do much testing with this set-up but I might have to consider the E85 route going forwards if I want the car to be fun again.

Ohh this is interesting. I didn't realise Targa high country was in Vic just assumed is was yet another event I would want to do that required a boat ride.

My car may finally be ready by Nov... would be the perfect debut.

I'd just supplement the factory tank with a feed from a secondary gravity fed tank mounted somewhere suitable. It's not that hard :)

Have a look at Coad's dry sump tank for inspiration :thumbsup:

have a look in the back of Dave Ayrers's R33 400R, he run's a 20 litre surge tank which allowed him

the extra fuel to change to E85

Ben, what sort of power did you run with the car?

MPC Quoted me 368AWKW prior to the event. I think their dyno reads high as it felt like an honest 290. I think Navvy Tim would concurr? what do you have now mate?

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
