i'm thinking of doing some circuit racing this year and was wondering what class people would recommend? i was thinking of super tt but i'm not sure cause i've never raced before. i don't think i'm going to be able to afford Drift Australia again this year, but i still want to compete in something. i'll have to modify my cage and i'm not sure if my standard brakes will be up to it, what pads do people use? thanks in advance for any tips. nathan weissel

Get some r33 or r34 brakes on it, nice wide semi comps, then take it hillclimbing :glare:

I know a place you can practice :laugh:

There's also the motokhana champs in addition to the hillclimb champs. Or the circuit club or the SSCC etc

Nathan,

It all depends what you want to do mate.

When you say race, as in grid racing like Improved Production or any "State series?"

Or supersprints etc with other clubs?

Doing any state rounds etc, Im pretty sure you'd need to modifiy the car in line with the rules and regs etc.

If you joined the SSCC, you can do their interclub series with the alfa,hsv and wrx clubs.

They do supersprints, hillclimbs and 'khana's. (these guys arent strict with mods and stuff!)

With their classing, Im fairly sure you would be in the SVD class.

I joined the SSCC and will be trying to get out to a few sprints.

Pads? check out the suspension/braking section - theres a brake pad user rating guide in there! All I have been using have been benedict's.

Cheers,

Chris

p.s. Steve, werent you meant to be joining the SSCC?!!?

i kind of like the idea of racing door to door with other cars.

Have a chat with Duncan. I know he is doing a series this year, one thing though I think there is alot of restrictions to mods etc.

As soon as my cars moving under its own power ill send the money to them

Funny that, its up to this bloke :glare: .......

Didnt you say budget is a constraint?

Door to door wont be cheap. As far as racing on a budget goes IMO the SSCC sprints are good value (points are awarded etc)

i'm not giving up drift, i might have to postpone it for this year due to lack of funds, but i should be right for next year. i'll still do local drift comps and interstate ones with decent prize money.

yeah thats a shame to hear nathan - no doubt money is more important than talent in motorsport.

SuperTT for sure for an ex drift car.

Cams doesn't have any category suitable -

production cars like I run in are 99% standard including boost

improved production requires a 38mm restrictor (tiny) for turbos

sports sedans you would be legal for those but they are about 1.00 flat around wakefield.

AMRS is the most friendly for turbo cars in nsw, they run a couple of rounds in nsw each year. I'm going to try and do a round or 2 with them now I'm allowed to run a boost controller.

I haven't done a round with them yet, but I understand there is a maximum difference between your quakifying and race pace. Not sure what the penalty is but they've been doing this for afew years now,....

be a damn shame to not see you in DA this year, allways liked your driving style smooth and fast.

Would be very interesting to see how the car goes in proper racing, as in grip and power levels. And to see how someone thats been drifting goes in it.

Good luck!!

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
