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.

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

-Nathan

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.

      you can enter your VIN (the original, japanese one) here to find the correct part#: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan however, after all this time it is more likely to be a wiring issue than the sender

      no, it was the same here, just flurries but no need to get the toboggan out....but it is exactly the sort of days where its good to have some inside jobs on the list. Speaking of which the fuga is driving properly after 2 1/2 years.....but that is a whole other thread

      And yes, put in the restrictor while you are there; a standard engine is fine with a little less oil and you are less likely to run out of oil if you have sustained high revs for any reason eg visit a track one day. How did you clean the cooling system

      Ball bearing turbos

      I didn't think about how a circle works before, dumb.  Before, I had .9mm restrictor bolts but I can't use these cause they were shorter aluminium bolts that just tear off their threads when tightening since the OEM lines are thicker than the shitty braided one that was installed previously. Now I use longer 1mm stainless steel restrictor bolts. I think the difference will not affect the health of the turbos, but I guess I'll have to drill out the main feed bolt as I agree multiple restrictions sound dodgy. The one that was installed with the braided line was just too short, but completely without a restrictive hole.
