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.

Will surely be a great day John and a great opportunity to see some awesome machines in full flight.....

I'll be there sometime through the afternoon to come for some laps :P

p.s. As John mentioned I was out there yesterday and DAMN is he going to some major measures to lighten the car!

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
