Am i right in reading that its a L2S license, rollcage/harnesses type event or have i read the regulations wrong? I didnt see a price either.

The attached entry form should be completed in full and forwarded to the Event Secretary with the entry fee of $170.00

The Competitor and both crew members shall be required to hold a current CAMS Clubman Rally Licence or L2S or superior

I don't believe you require either rollcage or harnesses, just if they are installed then they will need to meet CAMS Regs.

My reading is that it is a Stage 1 event, which does not require a rollcage or harnesses, but if you have them, then they have to comply with Schedule J. The point that I was less clear on was whether just the driver needs a L2S licence, or whether the navigator does as well - which would seem daft, as the driver must drive 100% of the time. If the "co-driver" is to drive, they must do a separate entry.

I think.

I am sure "Speedaware" would be happy to answer queries.

I would love to do this, but neither the GTR or the Pulsar would be ready for next week or even December. I am not sure I could prepare either car adequately for January/February either. So maybe next year. Definitely keen on trying this kind of event, though.

Cheers. ;)

Is Will driving, or are you sharing the drive ?

Yeah it'll be Will, bugger we'll be in the same class, doesn't look like it matters if you run semis or not..

oh well I'll have to try and make up some time on the straights.

as for the course, if you've ever done any of the little motorkana courses down there, apparently its all them joined up, including that little goat track between the strip and the roads over the back :P

I'll let you know after thursday..

Yeah, I thought the course would be something like that. Should be pretty good fun :P

Lets chuck in extra 35-40 kilos in your car :)

Mate I'm not on no diet, and remember its a GTR so no light weight :) but yeah no point carrying more than you have to, I'll be taking the spare out :D but thats about it..

did you get your turbo sorted after Shannons, that hurts, to have to pull out first thing, after shelling out $600 for the day?? :P

night went well, pretty fast course, over 200kms in a couple of spots ( they were the only times I look down ) hard to see some of the corners in the dark, and a bit slippery on street tyres, but a shit load of fun, a few incidents more left on trailers than came on them and a lot came on them,

thought I was doing alright until I found out the sticky tyred, caged up Evos were 10 seconds quicker than my 2mins 35sec,

I'll post up some videos when I have a chance the edit it tonight maybe..

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
