Hey Guys,

i thought I'd post this up here because some people have been asking about it.

Can one of the mods make this sticky perhaps?

Events for Feb

6th Feb - Come and try day @ Baskerville.

12th Feb - Motorkahna @ Symmons Plains

12th Feb - Oonah Road Hill Climb

13th Feb - Tas Super Series Round 1 @ Baskerville

19th Feb - Drift Practice Day @ Baskerville

20th Feb - State series Motorkahna round 1 @ Kempton

27th Feb - LCCT Club Day @ Symmons Plains

I got all the details from http://www.cams.com....0125&to=&page=1

For most of these events all you need on your car is:

- 900g or larger fire extinguisher secured in a metal bracket with bolts through metal with large washers on them. Needs with withstand a force of 25g.

- Tail shaft strap, to prevent the drive shaft from hitting the ground if it breaks. (You don't need this if your car is registered)

- Secondary means of securing the bonnet. eg. bonnet pins or strap. (I've seen people use dog collars and belts and all sorts, just as long as it stops the bonnet from opening should the stock latch fail) (Again, you don't need this if your car is registered)

- Clear contact over the headlights (Only if there are multiple cars on the track at once.)

- A blue triangle on your bonnet (or boot) where you battery is. (Or a white triangle if your car is blue, I made mine from electrical tape)

- Coolant overflow can't just go on to the ground, I just re-routed mine into a drink bottle. If you use powerade you get an extra 15kW

Normally you'd want to get there at like 8:30-9, scrutineering closes at 9:30 and racing starts at 10.

You can usually join a club and get a CAMS licence on the day, cost's a bit though, can't remember exactly but I'd take at least $250 cash with you your first time.

If anyone has anything more to add just post here and I'll add it to the OP. I'll try my best to keep this up to date.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread over the next year or so, looks very helpful :)

I was looking for some details on the 'Come & Try Day' at Baskerville, but it appears that the CAMS site hates the link (probably to do with the use of '&' in the query string, which normally denotes separate parameters, but anyway..) so I keep getting 'Bad Request'. This sounds like the perfect kind of first day for newbies like me, but since I can't get to the information I was wondering if anyone knew some basic details about it? (start times, usual crowd, prices etc) I realise time is running pretty short and I'm not certain the car is up for it yet, but will have to give it a go to find out :)

Thanks,

Jay

Yeah I know, their website is fkT, but what do you expect.

If you want more info on the come and try day try calling Dick on 6224 4134 hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on the situation. Post up here if you find out anything as I'm sure there are other people in the same boat.

Hey Guys,

Super Sprint this Sunday at baskerville!

Should be heaps of fun :D

Also I forgot this in the OP

- Full Length cotton clothes, trousers and long sleeves. NO NYLON!

- enclosed shoes, no sandals and no high heels.

- AS approved Helmet.

I don't reckon I'll be there this weekend, Skyline isn't quite finished yet, very close though!

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
