That's the one.

I'm extremely disappointed, but at the same understand why they have had to do it. If the vast majority of the field enter with cars that are not compliant to the rules, then the class either folds or the rules change to allow those cars to run.

It's stuffed me around to the tune of $3k in wheels (as I wanted to run 10.5 + 15 but wouldn't fit under the guards so bought wheels that could and in doing so decreased the chance of getting a 295 on there), if I was an Evo driver I'd probably have more of a say.

Basically to stay competitive I need to modify the guards now.

That just sucks. I would be extremely upset as I imagine you are but good to see you just getting on with it. If the wheels are new, just sell them and get the right size to maximise the tyre width, which I'm sure your contemplating.

Are there any other big name teams coming from Japan/US/UK? Seems a bit light on so far... still 'early' days I guess. Hopefully a few more come out.

I've been hanging to see all these cars for years, I reckon they are saving the best till last and teams are still probably still putting them together at the last minute.

Yeh my RPF1's have been used for 1 event. But you still loose money straight away by off loading them.

silly question here, but...

"For rearward facing exhaust the outlet(s) shall be between 75mm and 450mm above the ground and within 100mm longitudinally of the rear of the bodywork. If the exhaust is directed sideways the outlet(s) must be located rearward of the midpoint of the wheelbase and shall not project beyond the maximum width of the vehicles bodywork or terminate more than 50mm inwards of the coachwork. A side exit exhaust must exit in a direction away from the centreline of the vehicle."

... would this include wastegate dump/screamers?

FWIW, I disagree. I think they mean exactly what it says. Why should some super hot exhaust be allowed to vent right next to the firewall in the engine bay, and the rest has to head back under the body.

Screamer pipes might be hectic but they are not a safe exhaust system.

That is a very good point though. think ill just run it back into the exhaust

Yolanda manny competing in club sprint class, anyone know if the evo 8rs she's driving is quick? Should I ask Richo? Rumours on the street say that Yolanda's your mrs.

She is shooting for low 1.42s when I talked to her at the promo vid shooting, but needed to redesign her front splitter

1.42 club sprint should be in the top 10ish

She ran Open class (z221's) at Vic and NSW. Did quiet well. Have a look at the times on natsoft.

A 1.42 is aiming pretty high based on previous results, but you gota have a point to aim at.

I think (?) she is with Lt Dan.

Front splitter, well that comes down to if the rules are enforced and how they are interpreted...

I read them as as splitter cannot extent 5cm beyond the forward most point on the front bar and must follow the contur of the front bar. And cannot extend further (width) than the guards.

iirc the current one on that car is around 10-15cm.

It's down to the interpretation of the rule. There is wording along the lines of "must follow the contour or original shape of the OE part". So does that mean using Evo 9 body panels (which a few of the Evo guys do) is not allowed? lol

1.42 will be in the top 10 for sure.

The cars will be on-par with the times last year, it's going to be 1.38-9's at the top and 1.44-45 rounding out the top 10.

If I got a 42 I'd be ecstatic.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
