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 :/

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:

Hmm will check with Allan tomorrow about the cage thing when I get back to Sydney

I will be doing Race Control for the MRA so do come up to the box and say Hi!!

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 :(

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?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
