Had afternoon tea with the 48-215FxFj holden car club at my olds today after their victor run. One of the members is into racing, 'had' a ford focus with over 100k put into it. Massive crash in the Adelaide rally car was smashed into bits, lucky to have come out unscathed. One driver blew his 500k Lamborghini engine a couple weeks ago, rebuilt it then it blew a week later, 100k down the drain. Same week bought a new 500k lambo & stacked that one. Wow, who ever said racing was cheap? Bloke with the written off focus wrote his other race car off a few weeks earlier in the Hills.... One of the Porsche drivers was jumping over a crest at 200 & a r32 flew past him (in the air) at over 250! Insane overtaking from a 'kid driver, apparently.

One year I'm definitely going to do the mt.alma climb & classic Adelaide rally.

Also, one driver borrowed a r32 gtr which proceeded to catch fire at the end of a stage, would hate to be him! Not sure on all the exact details but sounded like a pretty full on event...

Think may have to ring the Pa, he was asking me the other day if it's wise to lend his Targa R32 GTR to someone for the Classic Adelaide..... better check to make sure he took my advice of 'what the hell you on?!?!!'. Then again he did seem upbeat tonight at dinner.....

That was Tony Quinn and he borrowed the Just Jap R32 GTR Tarmac Car and was running second outright when a turbo let go and caused an engine fire. He was about a km from the end of the final stage when it happened and as a result a DNF. Then when it was on the back of the truck it caught fire again as it was being trucked back to the service park so know bonnet, electrical and other unknown are a bit stuffed. I guess it is now between Tony and Just Jap to come to an arrangment to have the car fixed up. My Brother in law was the navigator in this car.

So many of those girls are utterly fantastic...

:unsure:

Mod list is pretty sweet.

Wheels are f**k ugly.

Headlights are f**k ugly.

Colour doesn't even look good on the Lambos it was pinched from, and is therefore f**k ugly.

Wide guards make f**k ugly look good.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
