and whilst we are being logical, i honestly don't see the point in limiting to certain "DOT Approved" tyres. When you look at how wild front running WTA "cars" are they have virtually nothing to do with anything which is DOT approved or street legal whatsoever.

Honestly - I don't see the point to Clubsprint in Time Attack. It's kind of completely against the point of the event to run stockish cars. And this is coming from someone who was supposed to be in Clubsprint. It just doesn't feel like it belongs at this event and given the fastest Clubsprint cars were all bloody open class cars anyways, I think if a field of cars ran around in the guise the class was supposed to be then everyone would just look at them and think "why are they here?".

I reckon they'd be better off having more Open cars and splitting 4WD and 2WD categories and giving more reward / focus to good 2WD entries.

So instead of 50 Open class cars and 25 Clubsprint they could have roughly 30 AWD Open and 30 2WD Open cars and scrap Club. Top 5 from each get Pro invites for the following year.

My 2c anyways.

That sounds like a good idea. It would move to stop every car entered being an Evo also.

Listen to this man, ,because for once, he's talking sense :)

I find it hilarious that STI's, being an Evo competitor/rival, was no where to be seen! Cannot discredit an Evo because it is a very well engineered car/chassis and is a tuner's dream... whether it be dirt, snow and tarmac. An Evo even took out the drift comp lol

At the pro level the car doesn't really matter.

Evo's are popular because they are well, popular Lol I wouldn't say they represent a better overall package one way or another especially when you're basically talking about sports sedan levels of chassis development.

I've always noticed a big difference in the 2 cars. The Evo engine will produce bigger power easier than the Sti. It seems to be far easier to make a quick club lever car out of them over the Sti. Yet I would say the Sti is a far more popular street car then the Evo for them masses and the Evo is more for the people that know what cars are.

Ordered :thumbsup:

STIs can oversteer... why would you want an EVO?

Give that man a raise!

I prefer STi's to Evo's - but the Evo is a better club car.

Finally got my story finished - as part of Mark Berry's crew this year with my ATTESA controllers etc. I have put it up on my website www.timeattacktalk.com

I will hopefully get the tech one written this week with data logging results etc. (still catching up on sleep :) )

Interesting article Paulie, In the couple of brief chats I had with Mark he was pumped with the performance and tuneability of the new controllers.

And I could not agree more with the comments on the 32 gtr. That car sounds amazing.

I like the way you think!

Wish that was true and a skyline was up the front... Clearly the 4cyl (lighter) cars have a bit of an edge over the cars that men drive...

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
