Yeah the 1:06 didn't materialise, perhaps next round in 2 weeks. 1:07.07 is still a PB for me so pretty happy.

Congrats to Duncan for new record for type 4 and class 4D.

Neil laid down a quick time also, and I see from the rounds so far the lap times are coming down. Well done Neil.

Regards

Mark

Congrats guys, heaps of PB's all round yesterday. Very lucky with the weather again too, it was sensational.

I had wheel issues (cracked two rims) so my day was cut short at 11am unfortunately. Relaxed and watched the action instead.

Who's in for the next round there in two weeks?

Mark,,,14th is way cool mate,,,very,very impressive. Have a look at the cars you are beating tiger.

My times are okay,,,but I should be all over Duncan like a hot rash but the motor I'm running has more neutrals than forward gears.

Stuart better go quicker,,,I'm getting closer to you mate.

Time to start building my own engine.

Brian's R100 sounds so sweet at full song,,,I love that car.

See you guy's in a fortnight.

Cheers

Neil.

It may sound sweet but its slow :) , i thought there was somthing wrong when i put my foot down the first time on the stright after driving the GTR at superlap.

Hey guys,

Im keen to give supersprints a go, and am just trying to work out what category I fit in to.

I have a 87 HR31 GTS with a RB30DET that has been completely striped out, no cage yet, and from what I’ve read in the cams manual I think it will be eligible for 3J. Is this correct?

Also, so in regards to cages, am I able to have a one from bonds or whoever else is cams approved and not have to be log booked?

Thanks

Hi there James,

Supersprinting is so much fun!

Is the car road registered? This has a pretty important bearing on which class you can run in.

If your car is not road registered, most likely you will have to run in Class 4D (sports sedans)

3J in the supersprint = Class 3D (improved production) but being turbo you need to run a restrictor and meet 3J rules as per cams manual.

For unregistered cars, the scrutineers like you to have the car log booked to ensure it meets safety standards. So get a cams spec cage like you said, (bond bolt in will do fine) and then download logbook paperwork from cams. After that, arrange a scrutineer to inspect your car at a round of the series.

Briefly, the supersprint classes work like this:

Type is split up into : 1,2,3,4,5 & SV

1 = stock standard car

2 = small mods, suspension, exhaust

3 = More mods than type 2, but in line with 3J cams rules

4 = More mods than type 3

5 = Open wheel or really fast race cars like radicals

SV = engineered or import cars that are road registered, think supra, GTR etc.

Then, they split you up on capacity, A,B, C, & D

A = 0-1600cc

B = 1601-2000cc

C = 2000-3000cc

D = 3000cc and over

If turbo/supercharged then have to multiply capacity by 1.7

*edit* you guys are too quick... posting before i can even get a question up :thumbsup:

Oh, ok.

Are these the regs you guys go by? Or is there another set you can point me in the direction of?

Thanks

James as Mark said it's great fun. Usually it's 3 flying laps (sometimes 4 sometimes 5 and I've even done 10 minute sessions) so it's basically qualifying. Sure there's no door to door stuff and you are not actually allowed to race one another,,,but I have been known to slam the radical down the inside on many occasions.

Neil.

thanks guys.

Had a bit more of a read and yep, looks like 4D for me. Hope they dont mind mobile islands:)

The car has been in the build for the last two years, nothing epic, with the aim of entering DA. Im ace with my timing.

With drift in NSW giving its death rattle with Oran, i've decided to try something else.

Don't be put off. I have to run in 4D as well and it's only a 200kw silvia with all metal panels and zero aero work. There are plenty of road cars out there with more mods than my track S13.

I've been sandwiched between two full blown sports sedans going through turn 1 at eastern creek and still came out in one piece!

Sure they were quicker but over 4-5 laps they didn't lap me. I think they did like 1:39's-1:40's and I did 1:47's

There are still plenty of cars you find company with doing similiar lap times.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
