Hi All

Just wondering if there'd be interest in those who've got GT-R's would be willing to partake in a bit of MC Motorsport action this season. We'd be looking at a team of 4 plus someone who would be in reserve should one of the main team can't make it. It starts soon:

DATES:

8-Feb-04

7-Mar-04

11-Apr-04

9-May-04

Finals 19-Jun-04

COSTS:

It is $55 per round. You must pay for round 1 and round 4 upfront and preferably before the 1st round occurs.

So, if you've got an R32, R33 or R34 GT-R, let us know if you'd be interested.

Cheers

Brendan

Yeah, sorry. You're right. CAMS 2S license is required for competing in the MC Motorsport Challenge. You'll need to be a part of a CAMS approved car club such as AFARCC and then apply for your CAMS license (there's an office in Dog Swamp). And yes you can compete on the temp license they give you once you pay. I also think you can fill out a form for 2S license on the day.

Is there no one with a GT-R in this group who'd like to do a bit of competitive driving? If not, how about anyone with a Skyline who'd be interested in committing themselves to a season of MC?

yeah i have to apologise but due to distinct lack of funds .... maybe next year. Pity cos it would be a lot of fun.

Micko - its more for fun than serious competition ..... thats how most of the other car clubs are looking at it anyway.

Thanks Sumo. Maybe we look at going in for next season then. Micko, as for not having enough experience isn't really an excuse with MC, as Nizmo said, it's more fun than competitive. But then again, we felt County Dump Racing were playing for Sheep Stations a couple of times last year. It was my first bit of 'competitive' driving when I did it last year. I went in thinking I can only get better. Unfortunately my tyres got worse - so although I had a great time going sideways, my times didn't get much better ; )

So we have a tentative team for possible entry next season (maybe) - Nizmo, Micko, Sumo and myself. Any other possible takers.

Cheers

Brendan

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
