I assume type is either the variant (ie GTST) or they mean street/race. actually they have type twice so the first one would be variant. as for log book you don't have one. obviously if your car is logbooked then you would put the number in. only applies to cams log booked cars.

Hi Guys,

That form on the site is only a form to get your name on a spot. The official entry form is on its way from cams and I am hoping to see it by the end of this week *fingers crossed* The car type is ust referring to GTR or GTS-T and car group is which class you want to run in.

Have you guys given thought to the spectating aspect and all that it entails yet Nathan?

The line up for both classes at the moment looks awesome and I'd love to see some of these cars getting around the track.

Maybe if this sort of thing takes off I might have another reason to help me convince the other half to let me modify the unregistered hunk of metal in the garage :thumbsup:

I'd just need to find the money first! lol

Spectators are welcome it will be $15 at the gate.

Clubsprint Class can only use street tyres.

Time for everyone in the street class to go out and get some Federal 595RS tyres. Last time i checked they weren't in the cams book as a R compound semi slick so still a street tyre :banana:

Which (to my mind) shows up the fundamental problem in forcing people to run "road" tyres. They end up having to buy new (shit) tyres to be anywhere near competitive, thus negating the whole point of the exercise.

Anyway. Good luck & go the Porsches. Eh?

595RS are on the list of tyres you can't use on the website.

"All vehicles entering the Superlap Clubsprint Series must run on S compound tyres. Tyres that are exempt from Clubsprint class are show on the Superlap Australia Tyre List. Click Here for the Superlap Australia Tyre List. Tyres which are also exempt from Clubsprint Class that are not shown on this list are Hoosier A6, Hoosier R6, Kumho Ecsta V710 and Avon Tech R-A."

If it comes to Sunny QLD can I suggest it is held somewhere other than Queensland Raceway, such a bad track for a well balance car. It's a power bore-a-drome in my opinion. Options of other tracks are limited I know, Morgan park would have adequate facilities, I don't know of any others with pit and gararge facilities most top end competitiors would want.

Want to win, buy new tyres. Want to have fun, show up and have fun...

Rear engined 6cyl cars are disallowed if you read the rules so goodbye porsche

Nathan,

Any plans for an event in sunny QLD destined for the near future??

Yes we are hoping to run one in QLD in the near future so long as this first event is a success

We are going to narrow down the tyre list for Clubsprint Class very soon we just have to sit down and discuss it.

Cheers

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
