Realistically, it's had zero tests/shake downs if the pics and stuff we've seen are to be believed. I think it's more likely going to spend the weekend broken in the pits.

Hey, look, this guy was right....!

(Regarding US GTR)

:P

Good day, seemed a lot of mechanical carnage going on. Lots of broken things laying round in the pits. Lots of busy crew members.

Brian was providing some great entertainment sliding the R35 round. Disappointed that an emo pushed Scorch off the top step late in the arvo, let's hope he can find a bit more and win it tomorrow.

That Livestream was really good. Tilton evo just got it, obviously losing power down the final straight, falling to bits went 1:24.84, Mca went 1:25.7, good lap from SVG. Then US came thru with a 1:24.88. Last runs where very late in the arvo losing light in not the best track conditions I would think.

Tilton was lucky to get away with the win, but congrats to them they seemed to have a horrible weekend wi their car

Shoutout to Richo, I don't know you but man that was good seeing you punt the gtst around for all us gtst owners and for sau in generals awesome driving mate and a few really nice sideways moments too !

Dean lollie did a nice job putting the 32 and 34 onto the podium in open class I think it was.

I actually thought it was a lot more interesting to watch on the stream than live. When you're out there it's hard to work out who's on a flyer and there's no way to work out who's in front. On the stream you follow the car for it's hot lap and you can see how hard they are pushing. Still it's a great event, and great to see these cars in the flesh and on full song. And the women! Sweet mother of jebus...

If you're there purely for the comp then I think the LiveStream might be the go, but the experience as a whole was great. Walking the pits in particular, chatting to drivers and teams, inspecting cars, getting up close to Nagata, Orido, Tanaguichi, etc, these are names I grew up watching on Jap DVDs etc. Plus the noise, the smell, the stress, it's amazing.

Amazing to see the Open cars hanging with the Pro-Am. All that aero seems a little pointless for the times they are putting down

What happened to Team America?

Too many Cosworth and Pectel parts ie UK parts for it to run reliably :( But it did look better than expected all stickered up from the pics I saw. Shame to see them not get many kms under their belt give all the work that has gone in to it. Still, team Last Minute will always struggle with such complex cars

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
