Any news stu on the GPS tracking you had planned? Will it be implemented this year?

When we were doing recce we met the guy calibrating the start and finish points for the gps trackers. They sound like a really good thing

Here is the old one.....You dont get a good appreciation for the speed but allegedly its around 250....and this guy wondered why he kept braking gearboxes....

yikes! he is definitely gunning for the hardest, fastest gear change award! a little mechanical sympathy can go a long way...

yep it's all go and it's very cool!

i tapped out a summary of it in the eNews that should hit your inbox this arvo.

Is it true that Targa is going back to cams? Rumers are floating round it is?

I heard it was a done deal, because the SA goverment won't allow Classic Adelaide to run under AASA..

so it'll be all Targa's rule's and Reg's (ie AASA), but overseen by CAMS...

Just what i heard.........:whistling: and i hear thing's....

Gotta love a good rumor in this game.

Heard today that TW has made the jump already to EM in the EMO 7.

Will add to the fun if it's true!

Shame we can't get Mike Pritchard to change his rear wing and join along too.

^^^ I always wondered about that. I thought it would have to be a plated 2002 car. But if not, there would be nothing stopping you putting a VII front and rear bar, wing and bonnet on a IX and calling it an EM car. Just a question of if the car has to actually be manufactured pre dec 2002 or if it just has to be built to the spec of the pre dec 2002 car.

I have yet to see this eNews, but would love to if you haven't got much going on...

From my understanding of the rules you just need the car to meet the specs of the car you say you are running. (I mean my car isn't an N1 but it runs under N1 specs. N1's were built in 2001 - my car was built in 99 but consequently runs as a 2001 car not a 99 car)

So for the 996 GT3 it had a different rear wing in 2002 than 2004 but was otherwise essentially the same. So its the wing that needs to change for it to run in 2002 spec.

For the EMO is a fair bit different between a series 7 and 9 other than just the bonnet and front bar!

yeah don't think you could run a emo 9 as a 02 7 model simply because the chassis changed a bit. in fact I'm not sure the rules work that way at all. I think it has to be pre 02 first, and then you can do stuff like run a non N1 GTR as an N1. plus that's also an upgrade. not sure for example that they would let you downgrade a late model GT3 to an earlier one even if they are both 996 models. but it's an interesting idea, if you can in fact run say an 04 model 996 as an 02 model with 02 bits on it. there were a few changes to the GT3s even over the 996 model life, not a lot though. I know a shitload changed in the 996 cup cars over their life. we were forever updating the fking thing to the current years spec to keep it competitive.

I think the EMO VII to IX is the same chassis (CT9A) but the IX has mivec engine, ali roof, improvements to the electronic talent etc that the VII never had.

The clear cut way would be you need to have a car plated within the age group specified, and then you can mod it to the best spec available for that model/age like N1 for the GTR and RS for the EMO's. Allow you to start with a more affordable or easier to buy starting platform and go from there.

In theory yes.

However they have banned "specials" in the Modern competition and the Z Tune is a 2005 model technically - so wouldn't be allowed.

You're only allowed to build super special cheater spec cars in Early Modern..... because for some reason thats ok.

Sadly, no one has built a super cheater spec evo VI that I know of. :(

There were the extremes in the UK, but they actually werent that special...

Z tunes give me a chubby. :)

This is the one you were going to build wasnt it Snowy??

LOL - yeah that thing would give outright a crack I reckon!

But there is NO point in building something like that for EM because as soon as someone with actual driving talent does it and smokes everyone the rules will change again and it will get (rightfully) banned. And then you have just wasted a whole stack of cash.

yeah would be nice to run a attkd super cheater R34 with HKS 2.8 engine, V-cam, 2530s, hollinger sequential and all the other bits. no doubt it would be an absolute gun, but like snowy said, once someone who can really steer got one the protests would be heard far and wide. cars like that are just not in the spirit of the thing in my opinion. once you let cars like it in (and i know they have) where do you stop? what's to stop me running a "Cyber super special model Evo"? 1000kg or less, 600hp, plenty of aero etc. would be pretty rapid on tarmac I reckon if it can lap eastern creek in 1 min 30 flat on semis.

I'de give that fancy floor they use about 2 stages of life though :D

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
