Ok time to ramp this up people. We need:

A) Excitement.

B) More entrants.

Can you all please tell all the people who you know like track or could be interested in it as we need more entrants to make this financially viable. If you are a keen and helpful club member put it in your signature and let's get this show on the road!!

Hey Mate. As long as it passes scruiteenering it's all good.

Sorry to sound like a ninny, but, what do they look for in scrutineering? my car is completely stripped out with just a seat, dash cluster, harness and fire extinguisher. will this pass?

It's basically eveything has to be secure in engine bay and inside the car, no lose articles in the car and no fluid leaks..

What have you used the car for in the past?? sound tuff if all stripped out :D

Evil weevil and DIF will be able to clarify anything else

usuall things that get checked

*Your brakelights need to work and if it's raining, your windscreen wipers need to work.

*Your car cannot have any fluid leaks at all.

*seatbelts in good cond

*brake pedal feels solid

*engine bay in good cond/everythiung secure

*tyres can't be bald

*make sure there is nothing loose in the car (boot/cabin)

*remove your space saver on the day (make sure it's still in the car on the way there.. you may need it :( )

Sounds like your car would be fine to pass though. Chris (Evil_Weevil and D_I_F will be doing the scrscruteneer checks on the day, so shoot one of them a PM or they can answer in here if they see this :D

Do you have any major exhaust mods, or do you have battery/oil/fuel relocated ?? this obviously needs to be done properly and enclosed where needed etc..

Its a 31 2door that i bought earilier this year to turn into a race/drift car, and this will be its first run (and mine :) ) on a track. I just wanted get it on the track to see what it really needs and not what i think it needs.

Orsm, thanks for the quick replies guys.

What about exhaust mods like this?? Done by yours truly but very tidy and very very secure... Just not RTA or EPA compliant...

That's fine. as long as the tape is heat resistant and it's all secured.

I'd need Chris to give the final answer, but i'd say that wouldnt be an issue.

Ahem! What am I, chop liver?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
