morning all.

i spent some time on sunday making a cold air induction for the cressida, utilising a chaser head light so that i could have a cold air scoop but also have lighting on that side of the car. at the last SC meet i had major problems with intake temps of 72 degree cel, as my air filter sits in the only location i have room for it in my grandpa designed engine bay, so i am looking to get some cooler air into it.

upon reading my sport compact rule book it says must run complete headlight. i asked around at the last round in sydney, and i got mixed interpretations of the rule.

one frame of mind was as long as there was lighting on that side of the car it was ok.

the other was, if you dont have the glass and bulbs in all areas of the headlight that it came from the factory its not a complete headlight.

i know i spoke to paul about this and another guy in our class who had a bulb and also an air duct in the headlight, and i think if there is lighting it should be ok.

has anyone got any ideas on this rule or have they spoken to ohalleron about it?

any thoughts would be appreciated.

Shane.

well cow girls.

after a lack of banter on the topic i emailed jason ohallaren.

the complete headlight is defined as complete

ie full glass, bulb in full working order as it is from the factory. so for all point scoring rounds cars in S/RWD must have a complete functioning head light.

screws up my plans for my cold air, but i will find a way.

Jason is right

Rule no. SR 7.6

Complete headlight and taillight assemblies mandatory; must be operative.

Do S/RWD rules allow you to disable factory fitted power steer?

Rule SR 3.2 Must retain full, original OEM steering gear.

I have only tried disabling power steer once at the track...it was no real benefit other than giving my forearms a good workout.

Who knows...but my p/steer is staying

Bit confused here, why are you worried about S/RWD rules allowing you to disable factory fitted power steer then?

you planning on stripping the car when you race, I wouldn't worry about it my 10.5 was done with a fullweight car + some due to surge tank, big single turbo etc

I'm not planning on it...if I go to the drags again, I will run in the same trim as I have always done.

* Full weight, including all trim, spare wheel, tools and jack

* Street Tyres

* Full exhaust (a quiet one at that)

* Stock Airbox

* At least 3/4 tank fuel

    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
