Nope - he was 0.1s slower than me.

The 1.08 was a 1.08.95 apparently. And the 1.04 never happened. The car had gearbox problems and of coarse as people do (see Brisby) they said "If the car was running I reckon we could have got a 1.04". (Yeah right!) It was an un-backed up boast thats all. The GTR was fastest and the Supra was second - less than 0.1s behind.

It is the full track. Last year the best time posted in this comp was a 1.13. I told Nige he should be aiming for a 1.10 before he left.

Well like i said then, its an awesome job to do that time around the full circuit. If the GTR is quicker again with its T88 then again that is a brilliant job.

A WRX time of 1:04 isnt impossible, but knowing the sort of mods the car would have had, id say its very unlikley. Hats off to the Supra and the GTR, they are brilliant times considering the problems and the amount of track time they had. Even with perfect prep and plenty of practice they are still brilliant times.

Anyone have secondhand tyres(17s) that even diametter all round for sale? I now have proper rims for the GTR but ran out of dosh for the rubber :P .

Mr Brisby if i can get rubber in time i'll go harvy with ya on that magic drum ( if Inasnt car is not in that is ).

Love to run on Sandown since its near my joint.

I'll drag the new car down there and race you troy with the fuse pulled on a couple laps to see what the gtst could have done with bigger turbos. Will that put me in rwd modified as well as 4wd? It sould be a good chance to learn how to slide a gtr around because after almost crashing it at over 140k on a turn after owning the car for 5 minutes I don't really trust it on the tighter corners going fast. The back goes out like the gtst but the front wheels pull you into the corner so you have to correct to oversteer as soon as the back starts to loose traction which I guess just means I can't be as lazy at driving. See you guys there.

LOL...im so pumped about this day. Its shaping up to the be the first track day since getting to Melbourne where the car will be sorted without a problem with tyres, brakes and tune all sorted:)

Thing is i want to throw on a new turbo but fear this will eman another few wasted track days until i get IT sorted...decisions - decisions:)

Gareth - good to see you've learnt that driving a GTR quickly isn't as easy as some Hill Billy's like to think. We've seen your not afraid to punt a car hard and you already know Sandown so I'm real keen to see what you can do around there.

No need to pull the fuse either as Roy now has more than the required 3 RWD Mod entries to compete against.

Roy if your car doesent get towed off during atleast 1 session then it just wouldnt be right!!! :P

Yep - Nige is an SAU member. Member #053.

You also have Denham and Wayne anyways in RWD mod. So if Nige comes (btw - he has confirmed he is coming yesterday) that makes 4 cars in RWD mod at this stage to the best of my knowledge.

:P

Blah, blah, blah...ppl dont allow / listen to my excuses, so your time of ...that slow time...stands:)  

And that goes for Sandown and Phillip Island:)

Me walks off talking about a waste of +300rwkws :)

You stop ragging on me and ill leave you alone:)

Dont have any cash for engine rebuilds at the moment so now 300kw runs :P

Is this ur first time at sandown?

Did a 1:36, a 1:32 then a 1:30.06 then it rained.:P

3 hot laps, LOL on the first hot lap i went off at turn 1 and flat spotted the front left tyre which left me with a horrible vibration all day and a tendency to continue to lock that tyre:(

At the end of the day i was doing 1:31s in the drying conditions:)

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
