Just a small correction.. you can BUY everything that the cyber evo and tilton has run in the past. It even has a catalogue number and there are numerous cars in japan and usa running it. In the case

the transient response on the powertune car seems excellent I'm skeptical for the ARK R32. I think they're putting too much value in theory and not enough in simplicity or reliability. I anticipate

Looking forward to seeing all the new cars and improvements!

I think the other classes are going to be just as interesting to watch this year (a little bit easier to relate to with all the wild aero modifications going on in pro). Managed to catch up with SAU member John Richardson to see how his preparations for Clubsprint are going and wrote about it on my blog. Have a read and support SAU'ers :) - John Richardson's R33 GTST

Yep 32 will be there. I'll be even further from the leaders this year as my car is essentially exactly as last year only it's running now!

We all know standing still is going backwards in this game...

33 is on standby.

It didn't have any of it's aero on so hard to say. Looked like any other GTR from the outside.

I'm sure it will be a totally different beast under the skin though and when the aero is bolted up.

It was parked on a flat bed truck in Powertune's driveway.

I just happened to be driving past at the right time, which led to a reverse gear being selected and another sticky beak. :yes:

Could have a little problem, like no front right wheel soon..... :angry:

Don't know how this has been missed but I've worn through the nut and arm.

The bolt is showing through on both, only just holding on!!

Found it when taking shocks out for freshen up.

Not sure where to from here just yet. Not like I have a spare arm at home or time to space out the rotor/calipers, machine new hats etc....

Any suggestions ??

Can you elaborate on the "spirit of time attack"?

I thought the idea was to just go fast?

Sorry, I seem to have missed this post.

I believe the spirit of time attack was so that you could actually identify what car it is. And was supposed to be a TUNER event, ie you can purchase everything off the shelf. Now I'm all for going fast, but this current crop of cars (with the exception of a few) are not with that spirit of time attack.

In fact, it is easier to count the cars that ARE rather then not... (All in my opinion - PRO class)

-Tilton Evo 9 (always has been. EVERYTHING they run, you can buy yourself)

-Top Fuel S2K

-Re Amemiya RX7

-Prep'd Motorsports Exige

Nothing else gets close to being in the spirit of time attack... Cut up front ends... Swapping in double A-Arms.... Pushrod suspension.... Is not in the spirit of time attack..... custom one off chassis / wide body is not in the spirit of time attack.

I'm sorry but so many cars just look like complete ass this year.

I think people may interpret the "spirit" differently.

I don't think any guy off the street can go and "buy" the Cyber Evo's undertray/splitter combo off the shelf.

To use your example, look at Tilton's front end. I'm sure you can buy it from them but it's hardly "off the shelf". Same goes for RE Amemiya's RX7, rear mounted cooler, wide body, hektik diffuser.

The concept of being able to "buy" it is loose anyway, you can buy anything with enough money. If you mean off the shelf then a lot of former TA cars are also disqualified from running concept/prototype parts or making one off bits to suit the car - though technically you could still buy those parts with enough coin.

I get what you're saying though, we were used to see stock bodied/lightly body modified cars running great tyres and suspension with huge power, but now people are getting into crazy aero, customising suspension and chassis geometry and the like in the search fo seconds and it's not something the average punter can do - which is why they have specific classes to address this.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
