Great video. Had me on the edge of my seat, nice work Stuart. Looks to be a little more sorted now, with grip and/or setup?

Thanks Duncan

Sorting is - not happy, slow!!

Got car square - Having issues with reset, starting to peave me a bit - a minimal change in shock pressures, huge overall setup change - still got same springs and bars as Wakefield, just not happening with square car

New Dunlops at QR, didn't get what I was looking for especially lap 3 race 1, left front deparated big time at turn 3. Vid soon.

Race 3, turn 1 - jumped on the brakes - front right brake hose decided to have departure. So overall - although off the pace was disappointed and happy to finish 2nd and 3rd and 2 DNFs

Soooo, I bought an AU Supercar, to get away from tune issues LOL thats motor racing and Irace no dents - were'nt they lucky. Too offs but not my fault :blink:

Ball to drive but - too much shit to change for setup - havent touched 95% yet and so many issues:

Rear bar up, rear bar down, brake bias up / down. Springs up / down. Rebound up down high and low. Bump down high and low aaaaaahhhhh untouched yet

For 30 years I thought I could set a car up for a race track, I cant use a computer at all - thats Karens job and little brother builds em I think I am gunna start a new apprenticeship. Nup, give me a couple of months I am sure I can sort it

If not - we are gunna have a used car sale including Motorbikes, speedway bikes, 2 x skylines and a supercar.

Special thanks to Steve Ingwerson for a loaner gearbox for us to run QLD - much appreciated and the biggest thanks to Image Racing - after sales support is second to none, special thanks to Terry and family

Yep Dunc - Shock Pressures actually, struggling but getting there

Anyways, here's some brain fade and other bits and pieces from QLD.

Damn that R32 GTR is quick! I thought your V8 Supercar was awesome, but you'd have to be impressed with that R32!!!

Any specs?

Yeh, the EVO was hanging in there as well??!?!? Is the engine fresh? Personally I would be shifting the thing way off max revs just to look after it and not incur rebuild costs :) Not too many wrecker Supercar engines getting around for $600 :)

Great vids. Thanks for posting

I've never seen anything like that GTR absolutely leave a V8 supercar for dead like that.

From the one of the other vids, I noticed Stuart noted something like "V8 supercharged skylines brakes work".

So not running RB26/30 but possibly LS2/3 with f**king big blower???!!??

Hi Mark

Not sure if its LS2 or 3 will check with Joel Knott, Joel's Father has been building top race cars and engines for years from go -karts to supercars!!

And as far as leaving supercar for dead - was less than a second in overall lap time - and I am working on it.

Don't like to say BUT our car has actually done 1.14.5's - so the driver has gotta bit of work to do. We have had a bumpy ride on the home front - since purchase but I guarantee watch this space!! :thumbsup:

Hi All

Had a play a bit earlier than planned in Shannons Nationals over the weekend.

New brake rotors had major issues, pedal pulsation over 20mm.

Setups getting closer, all in all - happy with weekend, continuos 1.01's under race conditions

Looks to me, to run in top ten you need another cheque book for panels.

Some of the top cars are something else compared to our old girl.

Some small panel work to do front splitter etc, little bump in race 3.

Results attached.

Cheers

Any specs?

Wowzers that thing is quick!

Great vids Stuart. Car looks and sounds great. Keep us updated.

Agreed, wether the gtr is an overall faster race car or not it is freakin brutal in a straight line.

Keep chippin away Stu, Looks like a fun car to drive.

Heres Some bits and pieces from Shannons Nationals Round 1 at WP

We were going to do this next year BUT experience tells us win lotto first lol

Didnt get practice - brake lights didnt want to play - did re-wire for qualifying and then popped new front brake hose on lap one. New front rotors had pedal pulsation 10 - 15mm

D tent spring 3rd to 5th gate went somewhere first race?

Did 3 laps in qualifying - just scraped rear of grid.

FInsihed 12th Race 1, 10th race 2 and 10th race 3 (with modified bonet and splitter)

Cheers

Hi All

Just got home from EC Supersprint.

Karen in R33 improved 7 seconds from last outing ended up with a 1.50, back on Apexi tune. As per normal idling just off idol is a bit rough, great useable power again on track 400 + at all four, works well from 3600rpm on.

I had a good start in Henry, finally beat R35 first session, second session was all keen and broke left front stubb axle off - turn 3.

Handling and brakes are now behaving, 1.37.7 had traffic and settling in.

Cheers

PS sorry no vids, somebody left the POV were we downloaded the last vids.

Hopefully, if we can find a stubb axle - will be running Sports Sedans this week coming at Wakefield and the following week, Karen running R33 Regularity at Bathurst.

nice one Stu - I take it, it wasnt wet at EC?

It rained ALL day at Wakefield for MRA :( Hope you guys have a dry weekend coming up!

We are running sports sedans Wakefield, I hope it is dry too as I think my wets were manufactured the same year as the car and new ones aren't on the option list at the moment.

3 dry runs EC packed up, dry for AU3 dont mind the wet for R33 heres a link for SBS coverage from QLD Round 1 Irace / AU

Our best coverage from around the 12 minutes

http://vimeo.com/channels/irace2011

Cheers

Hi Duncan

Good to catch up, shame about your little noise, car looked great in practice and you were kicking butt.

Don't forget that little vent system we spoke about, you will be surprised.

We qualified not so good 1.04s - cold and didnt have the grip required.

Race 1 still dissapointed with times, 1.02s but got 5th from grid 10.

Had to weld out a diff flange tonight, crack around bottom of flange upright - big thanks to Andrew (Mosler) for use of stick welder that I havent used for 15 years upside down. Hoping holds till we get home and attack with the Mig.

A note to all, this is an older car but since purchase we have had lots of TIG welded parts fail - hopefully tommorrow brings better times.

Cheers

see you at Wakie this weekend Stu, we are running production cars....and hoping for dry too...

    • Hi all, I’m currently running a str pipe hi low hks exhaust and downpipe. Was wondering if I change out muffler to a titanium one will it change the sound of the exhaust? Plus I have always liked the look of the titanium pipes … anyone have recommendations to one?    side note already have titanium intake pipes. 
    • I looked up my other car that is a R33 GTST series 1.5. Anyone able to confirm what a Aero Form Bumper is?     (1G) 2 Door Coupe; (2GK + 11V) RB25DET; (4B) 2WD HICAS; (7F) 5 Speed Manual; (14G) Super Fine Hard Coat; (15U) Large Rear Spoiler + Aero Form Bumper + Rear Wiper (Aero Selection)
    • Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.  
    • That link was very helpful thank you.
    • That is the option code, not the VIN. Regardless all of that production is considered series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-ecr33-vin-table.php
