Chassis

• OEM strut towers must be retained and used.

• OEM floor must be retained.

• OEM firewall must be retained. Modifications to the firewall are allowed for roll cage, engine fitment, transmission fitment and wiring. All holes must be sealed. If the firewall is provisioned for to allow clearance for a different engine or allow gearbox/drive train fitment, all material must be replaced with the same thickness sheet metal as the factory material.

• The rear most part of the engine block may be no more than 2 inches rearward of the most forward point of the firewall, If the vehicle is rear engine, the front most part of the engine block may be no more than 2 inches forward of the most rear point of the firewall.

• Chassis rails may be modified for fitment issues, all chassis rail modifications must be submitted to the promoter for approval.

• Tube frame chassis extensions are NOT permitted

Can’t see how this is close to CAMS Sports Sedan Specs, yes some of the cars running would be able to run in Sports Sedan with some aero taken off. But far from Tube frame and mid mount motors.

So let me get this right. You can now have tube frame cars, but Porsches are still not allowed?

The mind boggles.

The "No rear engine 6 Cylinder or above vehicles allowed" is only for Clubsprint.

Porsches are allowed in Open and Pro Classes.

“We will only be doing one event in 2011 and that is World Time Attack, we had such a fantastic experience last year”

Doesn't have to comply with CAMs spec , very few do, comply with CAMs rules and why should they - one doesnt - two don't nor do the rest - and as if they! are about to do anything about it the next decade! I think you will find most organisers are happy with FAI stamp these days

We had a great time at SL, got some tune issues to sort on the link G4 system, we will be in club sprint 2011, hopefully both cars, (R32 & R33) maybe even a VZ taxi in open

Heard a remour CAMs Actually now means Confederation of Australian Motorsports sux - what a shame!

Someone wanna buy me a turbo kit so I can have a crack?

Old man is about to start advertising his 1995 Turbo MX5 to buy some new Honda motor bike. Runs a Mazda Familia GTR motor and turbo, RX7 S6 gear box, Guru LSD, Motec, Willwood brakes, Koni coil over’s. 220kw@wheels, CAMS log booked with full road rego and engineers report all for $20,000. Would be a nice upgrade for you!

The rules you have quoted are only for the Open class. In the Pro class there is no mention of disallowing tube frames and there is no mention of having to USE the strut towers (just that you have to keep them - I wonder how much of them you need to keep?). It has no mention of having to use the OEM suspension design at all (it explicitly states this in the Open class).

There is also no mention of needing to keep the OEM floor in the Pro class. From what I can read, it looks like the only things of the original chassis you need to keep are the strut towers and the firewall. You do need to get permission to modify the chassis rails, so presumably they expect you to keep those as well? They really do need to clarify the class rules a bit better, it's open to wild interpretation.

Good to see that it looks like Porsches (and Fezzas, Lambos etc) can at least now enter the Pro and Open classes.

  • 2 weeks later...

Good point mattah I just scanned threw Pro Class rules thinking they were the same. Glad I’m not entering the pro class.

As for tyres looks like the Advan AO50R will be the most popular pick or any one got any other ideas?

Anyone got any feedback about running the soft or medium compounds in AO50R, how soft are the soft tyres or most people using the mediums?

For a GTR I reckon mediums are soft enough. Unless if it's super light weight.

From memory last year the yanks were using Hankooks and panspeed were on Dunlop 03G's so it's not all Advan.

I'll be running AO50's again.

So you going to have kiddy fliddling 25 power for 2011 SL Russ or are you going to be sticking with 20 power?

Russ has gone to a dirty cheater 25 I hear..........

It's true.

Check out the build photos on facebook. Engine being dropped in next week all going well. Prob going twin scroll T4 housing on my 3076, mounted on Noel's (FineLine) 6boost that will be in the post when postal services resume in QLD. Should be about 280-300 reliable killa wasps. I'll be starting up a build thread when I get a chance. Maybe not as epic as yours bris.

I want a 1min 42 in august :P

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
