anyone want to throw a 10 bux in a hat and have a crack at how many engines blow up at super lap?

i say 18

winner takes all or we spend all proceeds on piss and get on it?

It's certainly looking that way with at least 4 engines down in the past 4 weeks across carying classes. Probably more than that given limited info

I think a low 28 or high 27 will win it. I've already hear a rumour that the Tilton car has gone faster than Cyber Evo's 2011 time. Could just be rumour but It wouldn't surprise me.

I think some cars in open should really be pro, and we'll see a 33 in open, a few 34s and 35s and the rest spread out in the high 30s and low 40s.

I 39 in Clubsprint is possible too.

There was an EVO doing 1:40 on Saturday at the Creek at a CAMS Supersprint round that will be clubsprint class for time attack and had correct tyres on.

Hence why I predict a 39 is possible. may not happen, but cars are knocking on the door uf sub-40s, which is very impressive on a stree tryre!

I do believe a 39 is there in clubsprint if the track is good and temperatures are right, it is amazing what time attack has done in the last few years to development in supersprint based cars that included open cars. I really need to get my S15 finished but keep devolving new parts to keep up with the competition.

As I said I'll be impressed if it happens. Effectively the only aero allowed under club rules is a big wing so it means most of this time has to come from a combo of good grunt and exceptional pedal skills rather than from some computer generated design that maximizes potential grip.

Anyone have a picture of this EVO?

Yeah I saw the clip of that evo, I recon the driver was sitting a fair bit higher when he got back to the pits. I don't think scrutineers are expected to be structural engineers, only the check basic safety (seates bolted in, fire supression...etc)

Exactly, but you know come a big accident it is going to blow back that way. You hear it all the time "the scrutineers let it run".

There are plenty of good fabricators, and cage builders out there but you wonder what would happen to some of the cars if they went in at turn 1 Skaife-Winfield Commodore style etc. You prey another Todd Wilkes isnt on the cards as some of the cars have nothing structural forward of front suspension pick ups and you have to wonder how they would go in a big off doing sub 1;35s

This is from a google surch

I was standing at the staging area and watched it go by, the wing was held on by 2 small bolts either side and the bracket looked like 1mm alloy.

I would hazard to say that there may be a bit more strength in it next time out.

But there is no reason any of the EVO's can't run a cyber rear wing and front bar. That plus mega HP will make a quick car. The only real aero restriction I can see from past events is the rear bootlid and the front guards (which limit the tyre size).

I think all pro cars bar the cyber evo have pretty extensive cages. But it wouldn't be pretty if the cyber car went in hard

I remember reading somewhere that the Cyber Evo wouldn't conform to any regulations for any form of racing, it's that sparse on for safety......

In regards to Clubsprint, it's a joke they can do 39's. There should be no aero allowed and they should all be factory bodied. Call if Production if you must. Even the aero in Open will be over the top this year, and dangerous as everyone is hell bent on weight reduction. That Evo wing fail won't be the last over the next few weeks...

The lines between classes is becoming greyer every year.

my 2 bobs worth!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
