It's even funnier that cams have no real written rules regarding cameras so they have left it up to the poor scrut to work it out. I had old man Cary Butchers (spelling) Michele's log book man design my video holder and he now points to it saying thats whats required. I've seen shift-light size ones duct taped to roofs pass scrut and all the little ones like the suction cup hero. Scary was one guy at a Powerplay day that cable tied his including the tripod to his headrest poles.

Titan,,,don't worry about the weather mate,,,it's all good for learning your race-craft. I was always worried about driving in the ran,,,now I love it!!!.

So a good idea for everybody should be to replace those old weather beaten wiper refills with some new ones.

Actually it depends on different events regulations.

Oh the rallies you have to have the camera enclosed in a metal bracket which is like 0.5 ml thick (something along those lines) and has to be bolted to the roll bar.

Ok guys, I will be checking cameras in that case. Depending on type and how it is mounted will be determind on the day.

At scrutineering have your car ready as if you are going out on the track.

1300 653 529

I had ours faxed yesterday

lol like the front visor thingy, do you needed it?

ahm mm

im confused...

yeah yeah it is, there one sticker on the visor and one on the back of the helmet,

coz i full cbf put the visor down, sweaty n fog n shit :D

Yea having the visor off is fine Albert! I know how hot it can get. Even on the bike I always have mine up.

Chris I have a spare il bring for you....

Its not mechanical, kinchrome digital... we compared it to the mechanical one of Daves and its actually pretty accurate!! ... or you can wait in turn to use the good one! it glows in the dark... hence why I like it.... :(

p.s Corinne... BBC??? suciton cap.... therefore safely mounted yes??? ;)

Haha well just imaging how heavy the BBC is. Then imagine it flying at your head 11ty billion times heavier!

cool. so do we have to have "hans" devices?

and do we all have to have our sump plug and gearbox plugs lock wired?

what about the fire extingisher? its usaly just tek screwed in, is this ok?

and since our cars are all rated to over 2.5litres (turbo multiplier) do we have to have 3 litre catch cans?

also do we have to remove all window tint?

will we be black flagged for not running valve caps on our tyres?

do we have to drain our coolant and refil with a non glycol based inhibiter?

do we need window nets?

and if we have a harness does it have to be in date?

are secondary bonnet locks needed?

what about anti shatter adhesive covers to glass light lenses?

do we need a cams approved tail shaft loop?

lets be seriouse here lol.

things like floor mats, spare tyre( held in with bolts, and passed adr crash tests..) fine. no major oil leaks and nothing baulky loose in the cabin. thats about it. just common sence.

suction cuped electronics are allowed. your waring a helmet so what can it do to you......lets not be assholes like a phillip island..

its not a full on cams target scrutineering sesson peeps.

its turn up, get all the loose shit out of the car, on with your helmet and away you go. if we are going to be full on captain cams, (confederation against motor sport) then all the items i listed above need to be implemented, and some. or its just a half assed crock.. lol :)

lets just be realistic here.. cheeres ;)

So not funny Dave... Lol.. I'll give you V8 scrutineering if you want!!!!

I'll even make you drain the whole car even through the lines, weigh it then fill it back up and weigh it again!

Then make you assemble the engine in front of me, measure it then you can put it back together. Then i'll measure the car bases, the axles & everything else. I'll even do some full testing in the back of my ute. Want me to go on? :(

Then I will Fail you.

LMFAO.

You'ed be suprised what people leave in the car.

Maybe if we needed a grade 1 scruitneer any of that would be neccessary...

It's all just common sense with scruiteneering even the supersprints are pretty easy going but firm and isnt this suppose to be about fun :(

Do we really need to get this over the top about a "driver training day"!

It's the same scrutineering we used the year before. This is a private track I'm sure they don't want to have to clean bits of your cars off the circuit. Everyone needs to understand that we are looking out for everyones safety not just the car we are scrutineering. Last year there were no problems so I think everyone should be fine.

dont worry Corinne answered.. I just got ours faxed then :)

Couldnt agree with Dave's post more ;)

Well, my car is packed - beer is coldish....Im ready!

hahaha

Spanna and others, see you at 1pm SHARP lol

no worries hun... Im actually nearly ready to leave work... just need to do week end roll and im outta here..... so ahead of schedule :( !!

Giant black dildo's?
Besides anna's BBC ;)

lol.... tis famous :(

ahh I really don't think holding a camera is a good idea myself, you would be surprised how its the last thing you remember to hold onto if you hit something solid, rollover etc. you tend to be grabbing for solid bits of car to hold on to instead.

look scruitineering is just about keeping safe on the track, obviously its not at the same level that Dave posted above, but neither do we want cars on the track like that idiot who got pulled up doing 180 with a battery with no bracket on it. There is a happy medium in between.

See y'all there bright and early tomorrow.....forecast looks pretty good for Goulburn at this time of year....just bring a good jacket! (or buy an sau one on the day)

Forecast for Saturday

Isolated early showers clearing to a fine day. Southwest winds.

Goulburn : Becoming fine. Min: 4 Max: 13

Steve-O - with the garages you know if i can rent last minute on Friday evening ... might need it depending on what happens when i get home at 3am this morning lol

Yeah i think so

lol like the front visor thingy, do you needed it?

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
