LOL im still not happy with the 1:09 either... i reackon she has a 1:08 in her in current form. Throw a cage and strip her out, good alignment, full slicks (just bought woot), get the guts to flick it into high boost (180rwkw (L) vs 215rwkw (H))and she will be ready to roll :/

Allan Muir from Bond??

Nah Allan (insert surname here)

the guy that runs the MRA..going to see him on the 2nd of august at wakie to talk more about the cage regs and classes etc.

I spose I should start saving for tyres now...along with the rest of the stuff I need to finish the car, ECU, Injectors, Sway Bars, Decent Pads etc etc

you dont need to spend a mint just get out there and race it

I garantee the biggest improvement to your racing you can make is to drive!

The car becomes less and less important in the begining. Get out there enter the meets and learn to race.

Passing at a sprint is one thing, try making a gap to get through when the guy infront doesnt want to yeild. Thats an art you need to learn unless your happy to be at the back.

Cant stress it enough dont spend the money on your car, spend the money on entry fee's and experiance.

See it way to much guys trying to run at the front with no idea how to race. Its dangerous.

yeah I see your point there Brad...im definatley not about to splerge on a set of ohlins dampers and 6 pot AP brakes atm..

my list there is what I need to finish the car to a point where I want it and no more.

Also weighing up the options of a cheap stock R32 Gtst with a cage thrown at it, and running with that.

Allan Ross :rolleyes:

I totally agree with what Brad is saying...Need to learn to drive your car and in racing conditions before you go and spend big dollars..You will find half the time you dont need it to be competative and the crowds love to watch an underdog beat the guys that spend the silly dollars :bunny:

what do you need to know about cage regs??

For the MRA if the car is rego'ed it can have a simple bolt in rear section. If its a race car it must have a cage that conforms to the realtive cams manual. It doesnt have to be cams logged but demed safe by the scruits.

Dont get all caught up in the regs and shit guys, get your arses out there and race seriously.

Bolt a half cage in and GO!

There is NO category rules No regulations other than saftey.

Ahh cool, Cheers mate

I got told by Allan Ross that I needed a full cage. I guess I will find out for sure at the next round, but that is definatley good news for me....now all i gotta sort out is tyres and finish the engine :(

ok thanks :P

the engine runs now...but its still running the factory fuel system and ecu so gotta upgrade those soon, and im waiting for my bloody dump pipe flange from DKNE so i can get the exhaust finished.

yeah agree. at the entry level the biggest difference is in the driver. no point having an awesome car if you don't know which way to point it. in fact it will be easier to learn in a slower car as you will soon be able to get the most out of it. no point running round in a GTR capable of 1:45s at EC doing 2min flat... much more fun in a car capable of doing 1:55s and doing 1:56s in it knowing you are driving the wheels off the thing.

Evils - Not sure at this stage stay tuned! :cool:

Brad - Yeah I was under that impression too..but the rules have changed..

All sedans & Mini’s need a full cage except group "N" (half cage)

Sports car are a half cage and all other categories are as per the CAMS regulations.

Im still going over the rules...and confusing myself more and more :) got teh cage sorted out

now looking at the other stuff needed

All vehicles, safety equipment and clothing must continue to comply with all Motorsport requirements unless specifically varied by these Supplementary Rules & Regulations.

1. Seats are acceptable if presented in good condition with no cracks in the main construction

points. Seats do not have to be dated.

2. Seat belts/harnesses are acceptable if presented with no tears, broken stitching or signs of stretching. Buckles must be in good working order. Seatbelts do not have to be dated

3. Fireproof gloves & socks are acceptable provided they have no holes, broken stitching, or have worn thin.

4. Boots (fireproof) are acceptable if they have no holes, broken stitching or badly worn soles.

5. Driving suits are acceptable if presented in good condition with no holes, tears, broken stitching or worn thin in parts. Driving suits if they are single layer must also wear fireproof underwear.

6. Helmets are acceptable if presented in good condition with no loose stitching; internal padding must be in good condition; & deep scratches or gouges etc must not impair the integrity of the external shell.

7. All of the above safety equipment must have been approved for motor sport at the time of its manufacture.

Point 7 is the main one...

Im guessing they mean CAMS or FIA Approved for the seats, harness, Race Suits Etc

Brad, Jess any idea?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
