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

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.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
