UAS Track Day, Wakefield, 16 May 04

[Boosted Zed]

Roy, UAS track days are for everyone. I have been accused of over favouring GTR's in the past, this was from a few of the zed guys. This was because we had 12 GTR's at the track one time and they get their own sessions along with race cars.

This day will sort out the men from the boys. I would not speak too soon as I have a good customer Gary who has owned a heap of GTR's, and is very experienced at the track. He has also done quite a few Targa's. He was the guy who drove the white N1 set up R33 GTR a few years back that ended up a tree, and him in hospital. The following year he wrote off another R32 GTR, head on into a tree. He is a good driver but has a big go. This year he is not doing Targa and put his effort into beat me at this track day. He has accumulated lots of good bits out of his 3 R32 GTR's and put them into one to make an awesome track car. Featuring Holinger sequential gear box which is good for at least a second a lap. He say more like 2. Big motor with 2540's and forged internals etc and 350kw at all 4. Stripped out with cage, big brakes etc. He is not beer talk. Will be very interesting. His fastest time was 106 .95 with the sequential box in the R33 N1 GTR. His new current race R32 GTR should do better than this. It will need to.

Tosh ( SW20 ) was over today and has has seen what we are doing. Last year the Zed was stadard internals and not too many mods but now it is full on now. We are running S15 turbos in the "Franken Zed "which are same HP rating as N1 spec so still can compare I guess, but yes lots of other things. It is again getting more like a GTR as now has Tomei RB26 solid lifters to add to the GTR bits in it.

I might Add Geoff from SSS Automotive will be out in his Gibson powered R32 GTR and has done more mods including better brakes and gear box, and will be in there. Joe also from SSS Automotive might be there with his well over 400kw at wheels R32 GTR. Power is not everything though.

He took the keel off then?

[Merli]

He took the keel off then?

Yeah, but he's added some weird mast-thingy onto the back of the car :ugh:

[Duncan]

funny how it goes faster every time john takes a Z part off the car :confused:

[Blitz]

1. Remove Zed part

2. Replace with obviously far superior GTR part

3. Go faster

[Merli]

Can it even still be called a Zed?

It's got more GTR parts on there than Zed these days... At least John knows where to look for superior parts

[Duncan]

1. Remove Zed part

2. Replace with obviously far superior GTR part

3. Go faster

it would have been easier to:

1) Start with a GTR.

coz they can nevah be beaten
