I heard a rumour that there were CAMS officials present at the Sandown meet and that they were concerned about the safety of modified GTR's in that the times they are getting, and speeds they are achieving are not far removed from racing/touring cars. They may be considering a ruling that full roll cages are to be fitted to modified GTR's.

Anyone heard anything about this???

Hi Neil,

We (the wrx club) have been approached by CAMS for a sort of informal review on safety. It is fair to say that we attract arguably the fastest club cars in Victoria on a regular basis - even PCV don't manage to field the sort of horsepower that normally appears at Vic WRX club sprints.

It hasn't gone anywhere yet but it certainly wont go away in a hurry.

Watch this space.

Regards

Andrew

While i can understand CAMS being worried about the times some of the cars are putting down, but it would be a shame for them to turn around and force us to have cages, because I for one wouldn't put a cage in my car, which would mean no more track days.... that being said i guess i'd have to go as fast as you guys first... which may never happen.

Better late than never. I'd like to publically thank the Snowman for helping me out on Saturday with a set of his old pads.

I did a Ferni to my brakes, less spectacular, I went out and mirrored this senseless act of destruction on my own car. I won't ever do that again....

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
