Best time for the car so far is 9.821 sec at the winternationals in june at willowbank. This now makes it the fastest true street GTR in the world,running factory 2.6lt and full weight. That come from the guys at HPI. Need any more details give me a email [email protected]

I remember seeing this thing run at Benaraby ages ago and I still have wood.

Nice to see you on the forums Theo, met you ages ago when I had an NA 32 and bought a stuffed motor of you to make a NA/Turbo hybrid when I was living in Rockhampton.

Hi I'm glad to see you like the car. We now have CASTROL as a major sponser as well as BRISBANE STREET MACHINES. I would like to go back to Benaraby but can we get the support for the import bracket. When is the import bracket the major of the meeting. Hopful see you there

Hey team...

Hate to say it but I agree with theo. Most of the import guys want to test and tune. Its hard to con them into bracket meets. I am hoping to run every one next year and hopefully dan too. I want to show that imports can be consistent and reliable with good times.

Theo congrats on the 9. Part of me wishes I bought that car when I looked at it a few years ago but on the other hand you have pured some major work into it to crack a 9.

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
