The classes do suck a fair bit of wang. Just about every other sprint series has recognized that 4wd cars have a distinct advantage over the rest of us and have put them in their own class. I'm going to enter my street/daily driver in the over 3L Improved Production class and, just see how many GTR's, Evils and WRX cheat machines fall behind! I'm guessing not many :)

I was going to try to roughly explain the categories, but its all too hard. short answer is slicks will put you in Sport Sedans with spaceframed, all but mid engined 1125kg 750bhp 6l Chev powered things with big wings and slicks. :laugh:

put semis on and they MAY let you in Improved Production depending on how strict they're going to be with the IPRA rules for things like turbo restrictors. Call the organisers.

a well driven EVO will be very quick around there mate. And there shouldn't be any real serious Sport Sedans anyway. Its only a SuperSprint. Don't pay too much attention to my anti-CAMS rants...

not so sure I'll be entering, i destroyed one of my slicks yesterday and the budget was goign to be pretty tight to get to this event as it was. but definitely in for beers :laugh:

I still don't have all my bits for the Skyline's new engine. Berry wants to bring the 32 out as well, but we're unsure on what class it fits into either?

as soon as I hear talk of turbo restritors and IPRA rules and the usual associated tummy piclet (sp?) officials, my eyes glaze over and I lose interest..... you aren't going anyway Harry?

call them, the Warwick Car Club are normally very sensible about applying the rules a bit more liberally. TC will tell you which class to enter. I think there was a number on the entry forms? Sport Sedans is probably where most imports will end end up anyway!

The Southerner's Type 1-5 class system would have been ALOT better!

I agree on the classes - us southerns finally got something right hehe

Eitherway - go sports sedans class and have fun! its not like its door to door racing with them!

hmmmm 3rd national supersprint, 3rd set of regs. If they would actually stick to the CAMS classes I would be happy....but production cars are not on the list.

the only issue with the cams classes is improved production requiring a restrictor....I think that will be histroy within a year or 3 but right now it stops any but the most committed/mad people entering ipra.

anyway...I'll be there! Just a shame there is no comparable class to defend the title in :happy:

I don't know any one in the sprints up here in the IP class that run a restrictor. I sure as hell don't. Would be nice to see a registered class too i think

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.  
    • 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
