Who did you email?

There are 2 categories racing in that footage, the Mazda incar footage is a series 6 RX7 running in a category called "Street Car"

For more info on Street Car see www.scrawa.com

Street Cars are based on sports sedans but with many restrictions including weight limits, rim size, R comp tyres only and many other restrictions. They are ment to be much like a road car, however "Street Cars" are very fast. The guys running at the front are about 3 seconds per lap of a V8 Super Car and thats with the Street Cars racing on treaded tyres!.

The other category is Improved Production Cars (IPC) CAMS recognise the IPC as technical regulations 3J Touring Cars

IPC is based on a production car with modifications. IPC is on of the fastest growing categories in Australia. The cars are closely matched and the racing is great. The lap times are about 6 seconds slower than a v8 Super Car. All turbo cars in IPC must have a 36mm restrictor on the intake of the turbo and 2 x 27mm restrictors for twin turbos, this limits HP to about 300 at the wheels, but with masive torque. IPC is a national category, they have large grids of cars racing Australia wide.

For more info on IPC visit www.iprawa.com there are links from this website to other IPC websites Austalia wide

There is more footage from available from the above links.

If you are keen on either Category contact me and I will help you on your way

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
