Because it is being run as a super sprint (timing) / track day RENUW have used SOME rules from a standard type of super sprint reg sort of ? ! .

SAU track days will be back to normal after this little comp, and will be more focused on driver training and taking a mate for a spin, as pointed out there are lots of clubs to do sprints and/or door to door style of racing, SAU is more about having fun in a low risk enviroment with mates where you can go as fast as you like (as long as your speed matches your ability).

Still for a small outlay you can have piece of mind that if your car, someone elses car or if your mates hair catches on fire you can put it / him / her out and save your s hit from burning to the ground.

$20 could save so much.

I have 1.5kg in the car, .900kg in the kitchen, 2kg in the garage, you may say overkill, I say my sh it wont burn down.

:cheers:

Texi requires a fire extinguisher too and is done at much slower speeds. I'll be there as a renew entrant.

another question with club class, would i be able to use federal 595RSr's? the only semi listed under federals are the FZ201's. i think i'd be under tyred in open with the 595s

oh, and payed :thumbsup:

My opinion is the whole tyre thing should be binned, either that or run to CAMS regs for competitors.

Put me in SVD.

THESE ARE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS.

RANTING ON

My opinion is if you want "competition" go to Eastern Creek on a weekend, if you want to have fun or improve your driving ability dont worry about the "competition" just fill out the entry form and fax it now!

Sure, 595RS-R have a tread wear of 160 that puts them easily into street class. You don't need to meet all the requirements of club class to be in club class, only one or more.

Though the guy that wants to run in street class and then change to slicks half way through might have issues and be placed in the open class for all his sessions.

My question is the FZ201's do not have a tread wear indicator number "UTQC" so can I still run them in street class? It's clearly not under 120, it doesn't exist :)

And despite some peoples views I actually like the way the rules are clearly structured, despite it not favouring my car. They are very easy to follow and judge. And If you don't want to be a part of it, then you don't have to be. Big thumbs up to Renew and SAU for trying this.

Its more so that i don’t turn with something that they won’t let in any category. Aiming for club but if not I’ll pop in to open, the tyres are just a bit old :rolleyes:

And faxed :thumbsup:

not doing street, dont have any interior

not doing street, dont have any interior

James you do get the idea don't you? If ANY of your car exceeds the requirements of street class then you are either in club or open. If you exceed any items of club class then you are in open class.

With no interior, you don't meet street class (as you pointed out), so you can use either Street class (federal 595RS-R) or club class tyres. No slicks.

Near every car is eligible for open class unless it is an open wheeler.

open class doing 1.12's will be not worth it - haha but I gotta get used to slicks so would be a good chance!

and Mark - I'll be giving you bad tips hahaha

How does the point score work ?

Im just trying to work out how someone in the same group as me, who was slower than me, has more points than me ?

Actually everyone has more points as I scored "0"

Was it because I only did 3 laps due to mechanical issues ?

I looked at the natsoft to compare groups and times, would someone please post how the scoring is done as its doesnt look like its on times alone.

Thanks Mark.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
