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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
