Big congrat on the win Russ.

What is on at the QR this weekend? Hopefully I can bring my black 32GTR out to join you.

I just replaced my PPG with an OS synchro box so I don't expect it to be quick.....just want to practice and learn your line :mellow:

gdday mate

ummm there is a new class called JDM details below

New JDM racing category

A new circuit racing category for cars produced for the Japanese Domestic market (JDM), is set to have its first run at Queensland Raceway on March 24th and 25th. The category will be run as part of round 1 of the new QR Championships and will include two classes to run simultaneously over both days. The two classes will include an “Elite†class which will be more along the lines of an improved production class and a “Club†class which will be more open to modifications. Although both classes will be run together, there will be two separate championships with points allocated for each class.

It is envisaged that each race meeting will consist of two practice/qualifying sessions and four races over the two days. Currently the QR Championships are to be held over four race meetings throughout 2007 and with the possibility of Lakeside Raceway becoming available later in the year, there is a chance this circuit could be included in the 2008 championship. The organisers have also expressed interest in taking the class to a national level, with the inclusion of some interstate tracks and its own national championship.

Listed below are some of the basic regulations for both classes. Please keep in mind that these are still open to change at this stage as the classes are fine tuned to suit competitors.

ELITE CLASS

This class will be for any mass produced car for the Japanese Domestic Market. The idea being these cars will retain the looks and basic engine and driveline configuration of the base vehicle.

Bodywork – Original, as per manufacturers specs.

Engine – Original block and heads. Increases in capacity are acceptable. Engine internals are free. Bolt on mods are free.

Transmission – Original gearbox casing. Aftermarket gear sets etc are acceptable. Remaining driveline components are free.

Wheels – Free, providing they fit inside the original guards.

Tyres – Free, providing they stay inside the original bodywork. There is the possibility a limit of road legal R spec tyres may be introduced at a later date.

Brakes – Free

Suspension – Free

Fuel – Unleaded.

CLUB CLASS

This class will be for any chassis/bodyshell from a car produced for the Japanese Domestic Market. It will allow for more modifications in bodywork, engines and transmissions.

Bodywork – Chassis and bodyshell to remain as per manufactures specs. Essentially the rest is free at this stage but other items such as front and rear spoilers, replacement doors and guards etc will be fine tuned at a later date.

Engine – Any engine from a JDM car

Transmission – Any transmission from a JDM car

Wheels – Free

Tyres – Free

Brakes – Free

Suspension – Free

Fuel – Unleaded

There have also been discussions in relation to having more classes, including naturally aspirated etc and these will depend on whether we can get enough competitors to run a separate class. With the category currently in it’s infancy we are happy to take feedback from interested parties to help mould it into shape. If you are interested in any further details please contact Cameron Wilson on 0419768662 or myself via a reply here and we look forward to your support at the track for our first outing.

What’s the deal with flares? Not bolt on, factory guards pumped and shaped? I remeber there was some controversy with some of the Porsche class’s a while ago as technically even though it was a stock body, the guards had been modified, thus not as per manufacture.

Yo shane....friday is practice all day...sat is qualifying with afternoon racing and sunday is racing all day. One event saturday arvo roughly 2pm and sunday is 10am and 2pm i believe. Sat i dont know if we will be there till late...but sunday will be pretty well all day. So you should be able to catch me pretty well anytime except late sat arvo. Will be good to finally meet you if you make it shane.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • 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
