Hey all, I've got limited access to internet right now and don't have enough time to search my self so if anyone can give me a answer to a couple of questions that would be most helpful :(

I'm in Vic and this is for my R31 drift car, getting ready for the track.

1: With bucket seats do they have to meet any requirements? ADR's etc.

2: If a bucket seat is fitted to a car does the car have to use a harness or is the stock side strap fine?

Thanks in advanced. :)

Hi Jesse, the CAMS website has the CAMS manual on it. The seat and belt requirements are in one of the "general requirements for racing" sections

Thanks for that Duncan I will have a read over it.

Being Winton in AASA - does that have any major impact?

I know both overlap in many area's.

Alright well I had a read through the CAMS manual and I answered my question about the seat belt. The stock belt is fine for drifting and motorkhana. But I am confused about the information regarding seats I found.

From the manual:

EACH AUTOMOBILE IN A CIRCUIT RACE (EXCEPT A SUPERKART) SHALL, OF NECESSITY, IN ADDITION TO THE

PROVISIONS OF SCHEDULES A & B, BE FITTED:

7: only with such replacement seat which in closed cars first registered with CAMS after 1 January 1980, and in

which the relevant regulations permit the replacement of the driver’s seat:

• incorporates a head restraint;

• does not incorporate adjustment of the rake of the squab;

The ''relevent regulations''? Would that just mean the supp regs of the event I'm entering? :)

I would like to know this as well, seeing as I want to be drifting at Winton.

yeah when they say relevent regulations they mean if there are any specific regs in what you are doing. for instance super cars may have tighter requirements than schedule A. But when the specific regs for an event or category say nothing you only have to follow the above.

I can't imaging AASA having any documented rules as a basic standard. They seem to issue everything as event sup regs. But in any case if you follow the rules above (1 peice fixed back seat) I'm sure you'll be fine. I use ADR approved ones but many people don't and don't have a problem.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
