I know the roll cage is probably the the single most expensive purchase to go racing, but after that it's all down hill....

Once the cage is in and you have the other safety items installed, you can go racing. To grater belief you don't need to have the car as fast as she can be or have new race rubber or the latest "go fast bits" ect..ect.. JUST GO RACING. Half the thrill is actually being out there and giving it a go. Learn the craft, become a better driver, have a s%#t load of fun and then... When time and budget permits, take the next step.

Life is too short! I have stuff all money to go racing, so does Briggsie, Perry, Maxfeild..... The list goes on. You simply don't need a V8 SUPERCAR budget to live the dream.

JUST DO IT! While you're still living and breathing.....

If only it was that simple though...

I hope to run my Gtst next year. it's only got a new front mount, greddy plenum, power fc, 3inch exhaust and a roll cage. should there be anything else i should put in?

You will need an approved harness, window net, extinguisher, battery isolator with remote pull wire so it can be operated from outside the car,

race suit, plus your car will need to log booked with cams, plus a few other things CAMS website has a detailed list of requirements for circuit racing. For a good look in you could have a go at regularity, usually run by the MGCC at Symmons and the requirements are only same as running a club day I believe.

amen to that :sorcerer:

Well that means im only $14995 short :D

thats cheap, its cost me more than that for a dirty old pos hq, i wish i hadnt started hq, i would be in a skyline :rofl:

do you need a window net for TSS? I notice that not all of the cars had window nets last round.

Yeah you do a window net (only Historic Touring Cars are exempt, Targa class used to be but no longer), they cost a bit over 100 with quick release brackets if too lazy to make some up!

My cage for the RX7 will look like this. Allow $3500 + about $200 per bar extra. And thats the reduced price if you provide the car stripped and without glass fitted. Painting and padding is also extra.

Wheres the best place to get the net from stu?

Im not sure if any of you remember Leo's R33 GTR V-spec from up north, but the guy that built that is doing my cage. Stu, He's currenty putting the finishing touch's to his series 6 RX7 too.

Yeah I spoke to Spurry about mine, still debating if I want to drag it up and back on a trailer though!

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
