Russ...The harness belts that go over your shoulder have to be between 0 and a 45deg angle (best is horizontal...or close too).....the reason being that in the event of a stack the belts don't get pulled tighter and crush your spine. The std rear seat mounting points are close to this 45deg max angle and therefore if you have the option mount it to a harness bar (mounted between the rear susp towers) or attach to a roll cage.

As long as your std front tow hook is accessible there is no need for a front tow hook to be fitted...just make sure you know where it is so you can point it out to any rescue (also keep in mind that your car might be a little bogged when checking out the std tow hook posi)

Cool thanks man.

I'll probably get a cage sometime in the future but I think for this event I'll stick with the standard belt.

I front tow hook on my car is way back behind the bumper. Can't they just tow me out backwards? haha. I have one on the back.

Might mount one in the engine bay so I can lift the bonnet for the attachment.

Will the strut brace do??? I would imagine towing from here near the strut would be fine?

For any 32 owner the hook is a fair way back and my front bar is lower than the stock hook...i havent had time to make a front tow point yet....

faxed my form off!

hey Russ Sandown is okay for standard belt, but PI and circuits with long fast corners suck... mainly because you have to grip the wheel so tight to not slide out of your seat (I have recaro and its still a fight)... makes it hard to counter steer or steer at all for that matter!

Sandown is okay cos its just brake, turn in, apex, out

yeah no shit didnt know if you guys remember i was at phillip island last feburary getting car back today..

i payed for 90% of it last march sorry march 07 that is...

i would of had you do it Ray but because its a wolf version 5 cpu everyone told me to see rob at sabbaddin

its ok we had a big mess with the rods the dumb ass supplier made the wrong rods for me 3 times each time took at least 10 weeks. And rob couldnt start on the car for two months because he was moving factory.

Lucky me hey.

Oh well, hope all goes well.

ive never been to a cams run track day before, how tight are they on scruteneering (spelling?)?

do you have to have stupid shit like bonnet pins, etc...?

i would like to come along just to give the car a shakedown more than anything, but if its going to be too much hassle with getting it passed i wont bother.

I wouldn't call bonnet pins stupid...

You're supposed to have a secondary bonnet restraint, whether that be pins or something else. Apart form that, you need a 1kg fire extinguisher, and for the rest of the car to be safe ie battery clamped down, nothing loose in the car etc.

Some guys use a chain or strap for the second bonnet restraint. Also make sure your fire extinguisher has a metal strap not plastic so it doesn't melt. It's all in the Supp regs.

I use a wire cable attached to the frame of my bonnet which hooks to the radiator support. It was made from parts at bunnings for about $25 and works a treat....

Alternatively just tie a thin belt through the latch of the bonnet and the radiator support. It's really easy!

If you're in a new car you may not need a secondary bonnet restraint, check the sup regs.

I've only seen bonnet pins on Carbon Fibre bonnets that have no normal locking mechanism.

If you are able to get to CAMS before the track day, its advisable.

Just way less hassle for you and the officials in the morning of the event.

CAMS offices are located 851 Dandenong Road, Malvern East, Vic, 3145.

Or even if you fill out a form and send it to them and ask them to fax you back the temporary license - they are pretty helpful if you tell them the date you need it by.

Also, when using a CAMS license, you will need to present your current SAU Vic membership card as well - so just make sure you also have that and th expiry date is still current. If its not, shoot me a PM and I can get it sorted with Kaz for you.

If you need anymore info re CAMS, feel free to PM me - OR..... if you cant sort your CAMS out before the event, you better PM me as well.

if you have a normal bonnet it already has two restraints. the lever in the cabin and the latch under the bonnet. as far as i know this is now enough. last few track days i have not had anything else.

good to see you back italizer... hope you have some better luck this weekend :D

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
