well the 400r is probably out, as they are re-released tunere cars. I think Nismo is classed as Nissan, as your allowed to use the Nismo catalouge from the cars eara as option parts. But R32 - R33's N1's are safe, there was over 200 made of each of them.

Haha - yep.

But then TW was selling his car, Deano will just drive whatever (not sure how his EMO is after the crash in W.A anyways?), Greg doesn't play anymore and the Mazda's aren't effected. So really I know Scott/Chris will be pissed but I'm not too sure how many others it will bother. But overall its a good thing for the category I reckon.

M7. Modern Vehicle List - is relating to Modern Competition only, some Early Modern cars are still on the Modern list, but will removed in due course.

I have heard it said that Early Modern cars like 400R, Z Tune and ATTKD aren't really much of a departure from what was being done to those cars when they were at the front of the Modern Competition in years gone by... :banana:

Right - so that means the ATTKD and 400R are still good to go for EMod Stu?

I notice neither Lambo is currently listed on the THC entry list. As far as I know YT is still planning on doing the event (he's supposed to be bringing me something on his way to recce this week!) - is that just because they need to re-think their car structures or are they out now?

I'm liking the sound of this:

926 Paul Summers Michael Arnold 2010 Dodge Viper ACR

Fresh from Targa West Dodge Viper ACR

I had better speak to Newton...Looks like he's considering another nav :banana:

heheh

The 2 big ones for us are 3.5" exhausts and upper control arms are now ok.

It's hard to fully understand the special vehicles rules. Does it mean Whtey will have to undo his 200K upgrade and go back to a manual gearbox? The type R was just as fictional as the Super Alphabet.

I'm pretty sure the ATTK'D GTR is cactus - but not sure where the 400R/Z Tune stands under the regs.

Are the Skelta's road registerable in Oz to pass the local 10 car rule? But we can def see the rule to permit the RX8SP - which I'm ok with as Mazda do help support the events.

Oh - and I love the changes to the Showroom Class. I can see it really taking off now that 4WD cars are out and the limit raised to $100K .

Madza 3 v MX5 v 370Z v XR6T x HSV GTS v BMW 135i v Audi TT v Lotus Elise v VW GTI. I'm sure there is more decent options.

Sounds a lot more interesting than EVO v EVO v EVO v EVO......

thats good news because it will make showroom worth watching. and bring in some of the modern cars that have no hope at winning out right. good change i say.

Pretty sure Yt isn't running due to the double hernia operation he had 2 week's ago...given that he done TWP, Mt Buller and Targa

all against doctor's order's, he probley shouldn't..

Well just spoke to John and he said Jason is still coming on the boat tonight!

But I see that there is now a little sub note on the entrants list of people who haven't yet been accepted.

They include the Lambo's, Skelta's and PMS25 WRX's.

And also a couple of R33 GTR boys - anyone from here on that list?

BUT - they have accepted the NISMO 370Z so I guess that answers the 400R question.

And also a couple of R33 GTR boys - anyone from here on that list?

Yeah i'm on that list at the moment and spoke to Helen @ Octagon just before. Apparently when dad submitted our application he did not specify the diameter of the exhaust so it was held in the selection.. So hopefully now it should all be cleared up :S

Oh and looks like i'll have to get a new muffler/rear section of the exhaust as it is 92mm :P , Anyone know if the diameter of the tip counts or just all downstream pipes up to the rear muffler?

I'm confused Snowy,,,why would you be happy with the SP being legal. Three cars made (well maybe 4 after TT) locally by Mazda Australia's motorsport arm to me sounds like favourtism. Shit a brick,,,they had more techs working on one car than they have produced!!!.

Cheers

No experience with them personally, but it's run by a few people "in the scene", so would likely be worth it.

Yes, Steve Glenney is one of the instructors, spoke to Mick who is running the show and it sounds good. I think I'll be doing it. Here is link for outline of the day

    • 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.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
