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.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
