phunky I am unaware as to why you have entered Open Class? Is your car stripped? or have carbon body panels? no cat?

No cat, stripped, semi slicks Nathan :D

It'd be easy to put the trim and cat back in, but I want to run on R comps.

Steve: Sounds good!

The Renault is fine I am guessing that it will need to be in Open Class tho. The corvair however is a rear engine'd flat 6 yes?

Cheers

Actually they both are rear engined. I was just trying to make the point that when drafting regulations you have to be a bit carefull of unintended consequences.

But doubtless you already know that.

Yes we did know that. But we have designed the rules around Japanese cars not anything else as this is where our main aim for this event is- the japanese car scene as you will see by our sponsors. It would be unfair to expect people such as we have involved already to benefit from a field of porsches or the like.

noddy

i think there is a practice run next month, we have never been there either but i am told it is fantastic!

i will let ya know when the practice day is as we will be treking down there, all going well

cheers russ

I am keen to do a practice run also as I have not done GP circuit

Plus would love to finally see your car!! :P

dam you all you young wipper snappers :D (26 'ere...)

Yeah..you tell'em chubbs ;) (26'ere..)

So Nathan superlap guru if you dont put your form in for EOI you might miss out on a spot??

Far out what a huge thread already and so much interest is great. So much competition is great also. I think I will get a front diff in my car. Is that even aloud Superlap guru Nathan?? Might do that when I get my roof mount intercooler and sick chromies.

Seriously though this is going to be huge and overdue. Mark my words it will quickly become the fastest growing form of motorsport in Australia if not the world.

Well it is/was already popular. Just that the fuly sik brigade was largely ignorant of its existance.

Thanks to a few magazines hype-mongering those happy days have now passed. This is from near on three years ago....

AGREE 1000%. More power to the ppl running this, but these style events have been around for years before i even got a licence, only they were run by non profit car clubs where spectators got in for free.

This event complements the existing Super Sprint and Club Sprints nicely, by hopefully uniting different cars from different clubs from different states. But its hardly new. Hell there are 60 yr old blokes out there with V8 MGs that wiull blow the doors off most of the cars entered :D

But its hardly new, but it will introduce a whole lot of of mindless idiots who know nothing about motorsport other then what they have watched on a BMI Grip Video :)

But thats cool, it means they will think my car is the quickest because its the loudest... :)

Maybe they will one day learn (the fully sik brigade, that is) that the quick people are the ones who tend not to say much, nor explain much but who just go out on the circuit & hose everyone. :D

On the upside it may demonstrate to a few people that talking a good lap & driving one are two different things. On the downside it will wear my teeth down because I grind them whenever I hear the words grip driving or time attack or hearing people saying stupid shit like "If you fit such and such you will improve by 2 seconds a lap" or whatever. Phaark me finding 2/10ths is a bloody good day.

Anyway I hope this thing is a great success & flushes out some good cars from some good workshops. Not the bling graphics/leather interior chrommies stuff but the proper track tuned goodness that is usually hiding beneath a dust cover in a corner somewhere. :D

LOL, you bitter Old Man, sounds like you and I should keep a good distance from one another. Put in the same room we could be heard miles away with our mindless whinging and carry on :D

It is good to see something like this get off the ground. I am ALL FOR making the sport bigger and better. My only reservation...and its only a small concern, but i just fear it may mean that at club sprint days you may no longer be able to leave mag wheels, tools, cameras laying around...as if interest is found in the wrong sort of circles then certain spectators may end up hurting the sport. or certain competitors not respecting that these events rely largely on ithe ntegirty of competitors...who if found doing the wrong thing could mean these events become even harder to run. :D

Which list are you reffering to?

Entry list

..but then i remembered its only an EOI list - sorry mate im scattered today

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
