I don't think there's a problem with cages in Clubsprint. The guidelines say convertibles must have either a full cage or a hardtop fitted. If they must surely other cars can... and there was something about being allowed to remove the rear seat if you have a cage too.

Paul Id rather not be in Opens after all the discussion of a hybrid class last round, but if its the only category i'm eligible for....

My car doesnt qualify for opens though if these two points will be enforced;

# FIA Approved Drivers Seat

# FIA Approved 4 Point Harness minimum

Its got standard seats (cause ive put on some kilo's in the last year or so and they're comfy) and has a non-FIA-approved 3 point harness which so far has done a fantastic job.

If it comes down to having to buy a new seat and harness, then ill just watch. Ill wait and see what Nathan has to say :P

I would love to give this a go. What are the entry costs?

Like others I would also need to know what puts you in what class etc.

From memory you'd be in clubsprint

Open was $450 per entry last time and clubsprint (correct me if im wrong here anyone) was $250)

Cool thanks.

I just had a look at the link (didn't see it before) and I'll be in open because of using RE55's. My only issue would be the FIA seat. I was expecting to buy a harness anyway so I'll just make sure it's approved.

So is a GTR seat with an approved harness no good?

Cool thanks.

We have to wait and see from Nathan :(

From memory last time they just checked for helmet approval stickers. I dont see why a harness has to be approved, look at the amount of cars that do open days (and giving their cars 110%) that just use a non approved one. Mine was approved back in the day but its expired, that doesnt stop it from working though :P

how can you put a motorsport event on the same weekend as F1, thats so dissapointing. we often talk about spectators and drivers supporting motorsport, going to watch etc, then put the biggest driving event on the same weekend as the biggest motorsport event of the year. that sucks. i so wanted to compete, but have already payed for all my tickets and accomodation, and i fear that there would be alot of other people in the same boat. i really hope it is successfull as id love to race in the next one.

but its F1 for me every March.

your not serious are you.......words spoken by someone who hasnt seen or heard f1 live.

racing at an event or watching an event where the only time cars are passed is while they are in the pits....no brainer really.
How many cars at this ears event John :( Care for a spin a lowly R32 GTSt. It would be funny to see it up where it doesnt belong ;)

Serious question. If i enter Clubsprint with the tyres i drive there on. Enter Open with a set of RE55s, can i enter Pro if i get a hired gun? If so would you do the entrant a better entry fee for entering all 3 classes? Or more likely a combination of two out of three classes?

you thinking about getting me to steer your car in pro? happy to be your hired gun and even do it for a reduced fee for you. :P

and steve-o mate, stop pushing ya bloody RB30 GTR bandwagon. :P in pretty much any type of racing in the world cars that have engine swaps to bigger engines than they came with will be in an open class or even excluded completely. you should be cheering that open class is available so you can run in that instead of pro class. that is assuming your car is running!! or just shove one of the many RB26s you have in there and rock that one in clubsprint class. :(

lol Yeah i know its a lucky thing these Superlap guys have an extra class to fill :)

Most of these RB26's ive accumulated will be on the market soon - need the space for more RB30's. I dont understand where you store all your stuff, im struggling and im sure you have more parts than i do :)

It will be running, ive got rebuilds sorted out now :D

Just short of skill now, id like to attend a John Boston instructed day actually - have done a skidpan day at OP with him it was a blast! It was organised through driver dynamics

BB are you going to enter?

Looks like I will be in Open and Pro.

Pro is for cars doing sub 15's.

I can run the S2000 in open this year with better tyres woohoo

:) the S2000 that ran 17.1 on road rubber? If that doesn't go sub 15 on decent semis with you at the wheel I'll eat my shoes!

Found yourself a quick GTR to steer boz??

The S2000 would go to a low 15 but I don't think it'd go much quicker.

Regarding the categories build a car to suit the rules dont build the rules to suit the cars!!!

No form of motorsport works the latter mentioned way.

I may come and haggle with you in the Pro class mate. Depends on a few other events prior.

Unfortunately Luke's business got broken into two nights ago....all they stole was his $4000 race helmet

is someone on here already trying to sabotage our effort for this event?....lol

BTW Boz...luke says hi

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
