I was keen, until a certain manual conversion popped up... looks like ill be busy with that so probably wont make it out this month.

:banana:

luke, you end up getting your wheel fixed form last prac?

At this stage i'll be doing the Modern Reg', although i'm only 85% as i have an exam on the 30th and one on the 1st. There are a few things that i have to do on my car so if i get a chance to spend a day on the car while studying for the exams then i'll be out there. After all i'm leading the Champ' at the moment, can't let that slip away.

If your looking at setting some good times i would suggest doing the modern reg as you there are two groups and the grids are staged so there is a quicker car in front and a slower car behind so most of the time you get an uninterupted run, where as with the track day's....well you saw the video's. If you are a member of a CAMS affiliated club and CAMS then it's only $115

Do you need a Level 2S license for Modern Regularity, or can you get a 1day license for the event (and will it still be $25) ?

Yep you need a L2S (Speed) licence for modern reg and most other CAMS events, the $25 day licence is the L2NS (No Speed) licence. You can still get a day licence for the L2S but it's $45; the good thing it that that $45 comes of your full L2S licence if you pay the other $45 within a month (the full L2S licence is $90).

If you seriuos about cutting some quick laps then events like modern reg and super sprints if you have a quick car are the only way to go. General track days are alright for learning your vechiele and learning to drive fast using correct lines but there are too many moving obstruction if your serious about track time.

Nah not fixed but this should be the last one till i get some other wheels for it. Not sure if i'll do modern reg now or not. hmm

im goin to come for a look

if anyone needs a tow let me know

I might take you up on that offer, I'm gonna try head out to the Modern Reg if anyone else is going, timed laps FTW!! or i'll just go prac day.

Would you get more track time at modern reg or the practice day before?

You get about the same amount of track time at both, I prefer the mod reg as your timed and get a print out of everyone's times after each session. You also get put out on the track in order of the times set in the first practice session. Last time i went out i was doing about 5 laps a session (I think thats how many laps per session) and never court up to the person in front and never got overtaken. So much better than a track day :) You cant just rock up on the day though, entries must be in by a certain time before the event.

Hopefully if I get these Nismo braided lines on (and brake system bleed and replaced with rbf600), front brake air deflectors put on, ruzic engineering 4wd controller wired up and trans fluid switched to redline lightweight shockproof. If I get all this done, I'll definitely be there for Modern Reg.

Reckon im gonna just do the praccy and also head out to watch the modern comp. Depends if my gearbox holds, as it is crunching 3-4th at high rpm :)

Mine does the exact same crunch changing from 3rd to 4th at peakpower, delay the shift for a second longer and mine doesn't crunch.

ill proba head out to which ever is cranking the most out of sau boys... not entering in any events at this stage due to financial issues but got the whole weekend off

mine does the same. either delay the shift, or double clutch. problem solved without having to buy a new box.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
