Couldn't agree more. Thats spoken like someone who has been on the receiving end of the shit fight. Oh wait a min........

You have......

I am with you on an extra Class ie 6, it would be great to see Superlap cars at more events.

There has to be some control on eligability and classes or there is no point having records or events.

Well I am pretty out of the loop, like a lot of people I stopped following this in the last year due to random rule changes. But Scehdule F has been ignored for 3 years now so it's not new. Nor was A, B or C followed at the last "national" supersprint (or CAMS classes for that matter).

depends what you mean by CAMS classes. The classes you run in NSW are made by your state panel. They shouldn't be used in a national competition. Last year was the first time the Aus SuperSprint Championship ran to CAMS categories, albeit Race categories. But I do think there should be National speed event rules if they are going to have a national title. Seems like it would be an obvious pre-requisite!

Schedule C would not be followed as its not a Race event. But the scrutes up here check the obvious aspects of A&B.

CAMS categories are a joke.

Super lap categories are an even bigger joke being run under CAMS.

Every open car is realistically a sports sedan but we can't take a sports sedan to WTAC cause the engine is in the wrong spot.......

But sports sedans have limited aero yet WTAC can have anything......

There is no CAMS category it's just made up rules. Being run under a CAMS permit.

SL needs to get onto cams and have type 6 added to logbook "time attack" cars as a recognized vehicle.

Speed Events do not have any formal CAMS categories. Race Events do. Sport Sedans is a race event category. Organisers of Speed events (sprint & supersprints, hillclimbs, autocrosses etc) can make their own classes. And they always have. Autocrosses up here run different classes to sprints, which up here use the race categories and in NSW have their own "made-up" rules which are made by the NSW state panel. Hillclimbs up here run by historic clubs have different classes to hillclimbs run by MGCC. And Superlap have every right to make their own rules too.

Are all unregisteered vehicles at superlap required to have a CAMS logbook?? Or are they turning a blind eye and hoping nothing goes wrong??

There is no CAMS rule requiring unregistered cars at speed events to have a Log Book. As always, event organisers can specify it in their SuppRegs if they so wish, like MGCC do up here for State & National title hillclimbs; OR in the Sporting Regs as is the case for the Aus Supersprint Championship. Maybe this is also the case in NSW Supersprint Championship, and that's where the assumption its a CAMS requirement comes from.

Superlap are well within their rights not to force cars to have log books. And given they are trying to attract OS entrants, it would make no sense at all to do so.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
