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

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

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
