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

Neil.

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

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
