done the math on that? it = a very long day.

it will be at least 1min between each run (assuming a 25 second run and then allowing time to get that car off the air strip).

i'll be generous and say that you;ll have them going every 30 seconds (but obviously there is no chance).

that sees each of the 120 cars getting 1 run per hour....so you'll need to sit around 6 hours to get your 6 runs.

that's without any breakdowns or oil spills or even a crash (hopefully we won't see one of those).

everyone better pack breakfast lunch and dinner if they want their 6 runs or hope a lot of people pull out after their first 1 or 2 runs.

Maths has been done on the timeframes and it all fits with time to spare. Have spoken to a couple of people that have run these events before and the day will be from 9am-5/6pm

Basically each car will run (alocated 33 seconds) and as soon as they are off the strip (onto 2nd strip to wait in groups of 10) the next car will run. Whille the group that has run returns to the pits, the next group will go to the start line. Basically, all cars will be run every 75 minutes. Also, as the day goes on, the groups will get smaller as people have car issues etc etc

The majority of people understand that this will be run over a whole day.

Again, this will be the 1st time i have run an event like this. Yes, there may be teething problems as well. Well, that is motorsport

Check your emails between now and tomorrow - sup regs being sent out now

Thanks Adam,,,got the rules and regs tonight.

In the catergory description I keep seeing "race tyres are not permitted" in every class,,,is this correct???.

Cheers

Neil.

Hi Neil,

Yep that is correct. No Slicks allowed

Cool,,,thanks for clearing that up mate. Unfortunately it also means my Radical and I stay home.

Hope the event is a huge success and everyone has fun.

Cheers

Neil.

With the number of classes available for this event (29 in total) and the likelyhood of a fair few of them not having any cars being entered into them (SVA, 1A, 3A...), we are going to have a few other catergories (event specific, nothing to do with CAMS) to spice things and allow people to compete with their mates who may be in other CAMS classes. Additional classes will be based on time, not speed, and some, due to the number of particular Vehicles entered, will be model specific.

So, we have added :

Fastest Commodore (NA)

Fastest Commodore (FI)

Fastest Torana

Fastest Ford (NA)

Fastest Ford (FI)

Fastest Skyline

Fastest Supra

Fastest Rotary

Fastest Euro

Fastest 4WD

Fastest RWD

Fastest FWD

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
