Victorian SuperSprint Championship

Round 1: Sandown, Sunday, April 4, 2010

For the first time in Victoria, car club members with a CAMS L2S (or superior) who attend the track days organised by their club or other CAMS affiliated clubs have an opportunity to compete for the tile of ‘Victorian Champion’ either ‘outright’ or in a particular ‘Category’ or ‘Class’. There are up to 93 trophies to be won!

Who can enter? The Victorian SuperSprint Championship is open to anyone who holds a CAMS L2S (or superior) and is a member of a CAMS affiliated club.

What car can I bring? Just enter the car you normally use at your club track day. Everything from the 'daily driver' through to the dedicated Race Car is eligible for a trophy in this event.

The Championship will be decided over three rounds. To win the Championship or a particular Category or Class you will need to compete in at least two Championship Rounds and in most cases three. Championship Rounds will be held at Sandown, Phillip Island and Winton.

When is the first round? The first Championship Round will be held at Sandown on Sunday, April 4, 2010. Entries are open NOW.

NOISE BAN BEFORE 9am

As many cars are driven to the circuit a complete ban on running engines is not possible.

As all cars will comply with the 75Decibel circuit pass rule, the following will apply:

Before 9am Race Engines Must NOT be warmed up or tested. Engines at absolute minimum revs will be permitted. Absolute minimum revs may be used to unload from trailers - if required. When parking cars should stay clear of the western fence (the roadway bounding houses) and face cars exhausts towards the track.

Any blatant abuse of this allowance will see a complete ban on engines and ALL competitors will have to push cars from the entry gate until 9am. Self Regulation is in your best interest. Officials will report offenders to the Stewards. A report may result in an offender being excluded from competition

though the standard class is allowing r-comp tyres? so i can just go out and buy a new set of AO50 or RE55s for each round?

yeah for sure....and no doubt the most serious guys will have new tyres each round....if not the series is not competitive enough

It was run and won on the weekend, plenty of skylines in the mix according to the results: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2010.SAN.S20.Y

Sam Markov won in in his BMW, 1.16.6

JFK 2nd 1.16.8

Tony Avramides 4th 1.19.7

Michael Rice 6th 1.21.9

Jeff Beable (targa) 7th 1.22.8

Neil de Pau (Neil) 8th 1.23.5

David Tinworth 12th 1.24.8

Kevin Galvin 14th 1.25.1

John Richardson 19th 1.26.8

Mark Hawkins (haw001) 20th 1.27.2

sorry not sure if the other guys are on the forum....but a great turn up from nissans/datsuns which were by far the most common make there.

well done neil in a good run considering its the first time he's seen the track outside the xbox. And of course congrats to JFK and Sam who were absolute miles ahead and very competitive with each other. Also good to see Mark's car last the day as a test for targa in 4 weeks

ya i got the email as well. looks like some fun.

It was a great day out (my first time to Sandown). Love the track.

I saw from your video's you were doing ~200kph (how accurate is that thing you use???) on my VBOX3i the blue RX7 was doing 210.78kmh.... funniest thing I saw all day was the race spec Mustang struggling to pass the quiet stock road car down the straights.

I had an absolute bloody ball. Duncan YOU need to do Sandown.

Those 2 massive long straights coupled with the twisties in between was so much fun.

I just couldn't workout out my braking points. The front straight has large bumps in the braking zone which in hindsight I should have braked later to miss them and the back straight,,,well I need bigger balls and just keep the right planted longer.

The rest of the track is just a barrel of laughs,,,deep in and great fun out.

The right hander coming onto the back straight would rate as one of my favorites corners.

Not one car went over the db limit so that was great not even the rotors,,,I was very nervous.

Tek,,,not a problem mate. We did 2x supersprints (1-3-1) and 2 over 10 minutes sessions.

Bring on P/I I say.

Cheers

Neil.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
