Hey guys.. just a question regarding the seat belts...

in the supp regs it states

"Must be fitted with seat belts to AS E35 or of a type

listed in Section 6. Schedule I of the 2007 CAMS

Manual of Motor sport."

Can someone translate that into something that i can understand haha?

cheers.

Mark,

It basically means that the seatbelts supplied with the car from the factory pass as do any approved harnesses (the ones that carry a certification tag on them) as long as they have been fitted correctly.

Think ill be attending this one as well.. after doing Winton in the dry (unlike Calder in the wet) was awesome and i have caught the bug.. just need to sort out some new tyres as Winton munched them bad.

I'm in! Just need to get my car fixed, I think it's the alternater, will be fixed before the end of next week.

I have two more events before Dutton to get this fixed, Sandown and Deca. I just hope the egnition doesn't cut out at Sandown going into turn 1 or turn 4. That doesn't sound like much fun!

Might be worth going to a track day (If there is one!) on the 12th of August at Sandown or Calder to see if the problem is fixed at least that will give me an extra weekend before Dutton...

Goodwork Juzz, im in too! lets see if we can break our cars for dutton! If it is going to break i would rather it be now than at dutton tho.... that would be gay.

Should be good to see the invasion of the Dattos again also.

I'll be at Sandown on the 12th August Juz (HSV Club).

Sorry Mark, (Paradizzle) for not catching up to you at Winton. Good to read you enjoyed yourself:)

If you are looking at doing DT its always easier to get it sorted before the day. So shoot a PM to the usal suspects like Scotsman, ADZ, Snowman, Belsil80, Aaron34, JAGR33, me etc and get it locked away before the morning.

Dont be shy, doing Driver training is awesome fun for instructors so all we need is the invite.

All good mate, i might catch up with you at Sandown if your heading down.

Would be good if i can get a driver instructer with a rear wheel drive car as last two times i've had an EVO driver who wasnt sure sometimes on which lines i should be taking... but none the less he helped heaps! So if you can point me in the right direction so i can PM someone with RWD exp that would be great.

cheers.

EDIT: I have a AASA licence is that valid for Sandown, or do i have to purchase a CAMS licence?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • 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.
