It does take full effect Jan 2012 but there is a weening period from sept this year. Basically if your having a Cage fabricated they'd like them to be of the new shedule J

All conversations I've had with any of the cam tech guys they are trying to get everything sorted around sept this year to prevent all sorts of dramas with "old" cages come Jan next year.

Its funny to hear the Talk about IPRA hating Late Turbo cars. WA went from the Top LMT state in Australia in 2010 to often not seeing any race this year.

We want to run HMSS but it looks like we will run 3D Streetcars.

My GTiR is 3J Logbooked but theres just no way we can race in a class that so badly does not want us.

I can't even start to explain the pain involved in Turbo IP cars.

pretty sad outcome considering the effort you put into those cars, and the results they were getting. a turbo car won the ipra nationals this year too...but I hate to think how much that win cost

Cost About the same as House 20min out of city center.

What led to the outcome,2 X Prodrive Engines etc, Huge Input by Racetorque and many years of trying, Mrs Tander to have Engine management issue, Ray Hislop had problems and the Cherry Monaro and said Turbo car coming together at the end of the 1st lap as the Monaro was passing ending up with the Monaro well off the track so a very good drive in a very good car and a Shed load of Luck.

All the fast LMT IP cars need 2 engines on rotation etc etc.

Under 2ltr IP is perfect, Overs is doomed.

so if i understand, a bond bolt in cage is still OKAY this year, and can be log booked but not after 31st of DEC? so as long as i get it done before then? or no?

Cheers

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
