I have emailed all the lap battle championship competitors from round 2 and am working on contacting entrants from round 1. As per Eric's request I am creating a thread here to address any confusion that might arise from my email.

My comment in a previous thread:

There is no intention of a lockout of SAU members - I have contacted every entrant from round 2 that included an email address and invited them to the changed round 3 at Eastern Creek. I'll be contacting the round 1 entrants shortly too, it's a time consuming process. The reasons for the change were outlined in the email, concern over the viability of the day given the proximity to christmas and cost of track hire. I've discussed the matter with Duncan prior to sending out the email, perhaps I could have waited longer before sending the email but then I'd be copping it for not providing enough notice - it's lose lose.

The upshot of the situation is this: SAU members now have access to an additional day at Eastern Creek through an opportunity offered to RENEW. We don't touch the money or get anything out of this other than track time at a track that will be much harder to run in full next year. The times run by SAU and RENEW competitors will be used to calculate round 3 - so while we wll share the track with others it wont impact the standings. Also the December date this thread is about can be run in a format entirely up to SAU NSW without the championship in the background. RENEW will support this date and advertise it to it's members to support the SAU booking but just as normal entrants.

Someone is always going to be annoyed by a change like this, it's unavoidable and for that you have my apologies. If you wish to take the matter up further you can email me chrisgATrenew.asn.au (edited to stop spammers), I'm not here to start arguments or spam up this thread

SAU NSW will run the December 17th day in a format of their choice free from the constraints of accommodating the championship.

Quoting Eric / Pezhead

Just to be sure everyone is clear the change for round three is that Renew is going to take lead and host it at Eastern Creek. As Chris has said it is really tough to get a whole day at the Creek so I hope that members of both clubs take advantage of this opportunity.

SAU will still run our day at Wakefield in December but that will go back to our club format.

I've attached the entry form and regulations for the day which should help clarify things. I do ask that you let me know you have entered so I can keep a list updated of who is attending. Post here, PM me or email chrisgATrenew.asn.au

Note: This is booking is by the WRX club and running under CAMS permit. You'll need an L2S and to be a financial member of a CAMS affiliated club - most likely that will be RENEW or SAU NSW. You are strongly advised to read the regulations but don't freak out, if you have any questions just ask and if I cant answer immediately I'll get answers. Getting worked up won't help anyone.

Some initial questions I am expecting are:

How will this event work with the WRX club event ? We will all run as per the WRX club supersprint. We'll gather the times from sprint sessions and put them together to form the 3 scoring rounds as per the previous days.

Whats the go with the categories in the regulations? The WRX club uses CAMS based classes which everyone will fit into somewhere. It has no bearing on our lap battle championship and is for rankings against everyone else on the day. CAMS classes wont stop you from being able to race and we wont put majorly mismatched cars on the track together. If you aren't sure what you are post up and we'll figure it out.

Will there be education sessions? Yes. The morning will include familiarisation sessions - we want to make sure everyone has a fun & safe trip to Eastern Creek

When are entries due? The WRX club are requesting entry by the 25th of September. If the event isnt fully subscribed by that point we'll take it from there.

Are extinguishers required? YES

Most modified skylines will run in SVD class, a blue battery triangle and a fire extinguisher is all that is needed, don't be put of thinking you or your car won't be good enough, there will be time groups for everyone.

A lot of the cars are daily drivers, there is no door to door and overtaking is only permitted on the straights.

As stated Eastern Creek will be under going some major changes and it would be a pity not to have a go on this awesome track before they change the layout.

Me, I'm defiantly going to try and beat my PB and get some vanity pics of my car.

Plus we need to keep the buzz bombs honest.

working on the point score.

tk80 - that restriction was from the WRX club so is unique to this round. Remember this is their booking. The vast majority of our entrants across the 2 days fell into one of those 4 manufacturers anyway.

Hey Gregor, I never got an email and I know you received my email address for round 2. Lucky I was reading this.

I am unsure if my car will be ready considering my upgrades have taken a lot longer then anticipated.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
