Hey: My GTS-T has 'Zorst, 'cooler & PowerFC but that's it . . . . . If I bolt on my R-Compounds, I'd get FLOGGED in modified! (180rwkw just doesn't cut it nowadays!)

hmm.. . . Maybe Banzai driving could overcome the power deficit ! =D

So dont put r-comps on there.

but even then, if you rocked upto every event, you'd be likely to win as most people dont make every event.

consistency wins more so than outright speed for half of the events

so true! :(

I like Scotsmans point about the tires, you can make as much power as you want but you will still have to put it to the ground through street tires... and with the fuel system restrictions just means that nobody will be running 300rwkw in standard class and making up too much time on the straights...

and lets face it if you really wanted to cheat you could... but it would be kind of weird... and a little tragic

kinda like dressing up like a pirate :)

:)

So I have aftermarket ECU, Pump and Injectors, but run a Nissan OE hiflow turbo......I'm standard class? sweet

I also noticed you've wrote that the PI round cant be your first track day...is that still true? I was wanting to do DT at that event for my first time out on the track in my 33. Do you mean it cant be your first track day if you choose NOT to do DT?

Yes, STD RWD

Best to send an e-mail to [email protected] It's their decision afterall.

But I believe they may not do a DT session for Phillip Island.

But I just BOUGHT R-Compounds ! ! ! ! :D

I think they're worth as much time per lap as 70->100kw anyway, especially at P.I. where you're already wound-up pretty quick onto 2 of the 3 straights.

Sandown is all about the POWER though. Jeremy Clarkson would love it !

Oh, and I know that consistency wins championships - I have a Kart club-champion's trophy to prove it!

(it's largeish & moderately impressive)

A quick question for the future, as the most I'll probably be doing this year is driver training later in the year...

How will non-nissans fit into the current classes? We're attracting more and more non-nissans into the club, though I don't know how many do the track days. Will they be considered on a case by case basis on what's "standard" in terms of the mods done?

Until the club grows substantially we will need to fit 'other' vehicles into the existing classes as best we can. If it's on street tyres with less than three fuel system mods then it will be standard. Anything else is modified. All othe mods are essentially free except for full cage's and extreme lightening of a vehicle. (Fibre panels, no interior at all, etc) We will asses each vehicle on it's merits, but we should be able to fit into a reasoably similar class.

Modified Classes:

(Any of these Mods will put you into modified class)

R Spec Tyres / Slicks under a UTQG rating of 100 tread wear (not including 100)

A Roll Cage

A stripped interior. Removal of rear seats only is allowed.

Any other major weight reduction such as fibreglass doors or perspects windows

Fuel Systems - Either two of Injectors, Fuel Pump or Non Nissan OEM Turbo's.

Non OEM Engine Capacities (GTST with RB26, RB30; GTR with 2.8L, etc)

Sorry to flog this dead horse again but with the fuel system thing are you allowed 2 mods or does 2 mods out of 3 put you in modified. (I have GTR injectors, HKS turbo and standard pump on my GTSt).

i don't want to start any arguements, but a fuel pump upgrade to a bosch 040 in-tank should not be considered as a mod to put you into a higher class.

R32's often have old worn-out fuel pumps that cannot provide sufficient fuel pressure even on stock turbos when checked on the dyno. I changed mine long before i upgraded the turbo and injectors just for peace of mind....

my 2c.

I will enter the SAU championship one day, once funds allow, but not any time soon....

The two mods out of the three put you into Modified Class.

Noted, But you can replace just the pump and this is why we allow this.

We understand that fuel system component wear out, and please let me try to explain why we have done it this way. Ideally we don't want to punish anyone who has worn out fuel system components and has upgraded rather than replaced with standard as would be the case with most of us. Which is why we allow replacement of any one of these items with an upgraded item. We also understand that these mods are often done for safety reasons which again is why we allow this. But our thinking was that to make a lot more power than standard, the fuel delivery system will need to be upgraded at a certain point across the board. So in our minds this was the fairest way to allow some fuel system replacements for old items, but have a cut off point because replacing the lot will allow for a much higher power output.

I have modified the text on the first page in the hope to make it clearer. "Fuel Systems - Any two out of the following four modifications to either: 1.Injectors, 2.Fuel Pump, 3.Non Nissan OEM Turbo's, or 4.A fuel pressure modification will put you into modified class. (I.E - Only one fuel system mod is allowed)"

Also not taken as an argument.

I'd much prefer you guys ask questions and we are all on the same page.

Does this make better sense now?

Feel free to ask any question's. No question is too silly.

thanks for explaining your point so well :)

i guess you guys have thought it all out pretty well.

You need to be a financial member of an affiliated club, such as SAU, and you will need a 'Level 2 Speed' Licence. the forms are on the CAMS site i believe. Im sure that the sandown rounds will have DT too.

CAMS Level 2 Speed License can be found here: http://www.cams.com.au/downloads/paperform...Application.pdf

Fill out and mail to CAMS member services PO BOX on the form along with Credit card details.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
