Um.......

All Clubsprint Series vehicles must retain their originally designated engine. For example, a Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T came from the factory with an RB25DET, and therefore must have an RB25DET, otherwise it will be designated into the Superlap Open Class.

........this raises one obvious question:

Is this to eliminate people with 180sx's who have put rb26's in there (and alike, 20B's in RX7's etc), or all hybrids (for example, an rb25 head, rb30 bottom end, in an r33 gtst). If the later, why?

Also whats the entry fee?

Im keen as mustard for this one, but not if i dont qualify for street class

Steve....like any racing they need to decide on some rules....and with any rules some cars are advantaged and some are disadvantaged.

Engine swaps are still OK overall, you just change the class you are competing in.

fark the super class has some big names!!

this is going to be awesome!

Im just going for the fun of it! And as long as I beat Steveo lol

Russ, let me know when you guys are going to go for a few practice days, would be good to see the cars in action and finaly meet you!

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Guys,

For starters thanks for your EOI form Chris I did recieve it and have now added you to the entry list for Clubsprint Class.

N1GTR - I called a meeting to dicuss your issue this morning and thought about changing it but after even more discussion we have decided to keep the original rule.

As for entry fees:

Open Class - $450 includes Timing Device and a Garage

Clubsprint Class - $250 includes Timing Device - Depending on how many Open Class entries we get Clubsprint Class entrants may be offered a garage at an extra cost if we have some left over.

NYTSKY - No you will not be able to enter Clubsprint Class with a screamer pipe. This clashes with the Street Legal side of the Class. There are some limits on this Class which is what seperates it from the Open Class. The cars in Clubsprint Class have to have a working Cat Converter and if you have a screamer pipe then there is not much point to having a cat.

Cheers

I'm in one way or another!

Would a GTR with all it's front drive line components removed be eligible to run in the RWD clubsprint class?

That is fine.

Cheers for the update Nathan!

:cheers:

Let me know when I need to pay :)

No worries Chris, Will do.

Cheers

cool guys the more the better!

dunc get those bloody restrictors out.

just to make it clear, i have nothing to do with the running of the event , just helped them with some ideas and things!

i am there to race!! :cheers: and drink !!!

there are two r35 gtr's already entered in street car class!!! one which i will be driving ! :)

yeah chris bring ya car over!!

apparently they will have displays and girls and some corporate stuff!!

I see the word girls, I'll be there in some form or another

I'm curious as to why the open class cost a lot more than clubsprint class?

Might have to sacrifice a few track day later in the year for this.

There are a few reasons. For starters the garage is an extra $60 per vehicle, but the big difference is the prize money.

Open Class Outright Winner - $1000

Open Class Outright 2nd Place - $700

Open Class Outright 3rd Place - $450

Clubsprint Class Outright Winner - $550

Clubsprint Class Outright 2nd Place - $350

Clubsprint Class Outright 3rd Place - $250

*These amounts are not finalised however this is the starting point that we are looking at*

Each of these will recieve a trophy. The winners of each category ( ie: fastest 4WD etc ) will also recieve a Trophy and possibly a prize pack of some sort. This is yet to be finalised.

Then also the Shootout at the end of the day the Open Class gets more prize money than Clubsprint Class but those amounts are not finalised.

Cheers

personally I reckon the old way was better. cars with engine conversion etc should be in open class.

apart from anything else watching someone with their supermega RB30 build pushing say 400rwkw doing laps on their nangkangs (as semi-slicks are not allowed) is going to be scary. I think the whole idea of the clubsprint class is for the less seriously modified cars. engine conversion throws that out the window.

doesn't worry me too much, but in most other types of racing engine conversion puts you into open. as it should be.

I agree Richard and after further discussion it will have to go back to the original. I have now changed it back to the original.

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
