The 180sx is actually leaving us next week and going to a new home.

We've got 2 integras, a turbo mx5 and soon the NA 4.0L r32 which are all being used for the school cars.

The integras took some work to get back up to spec after spending a few years being neglected, the r32 is to replace the 180sx and who knows what boz has in mind for the mx5.

Id also look at doing a season of supersprints to see how it all goes first.

i.e. cost wise/car wise - time to get prepared before the event and car set up and alignments done!

all adds up or as uncle jumpstart said I mean Duncan do the state motorkana series!

next year I'll be doing more sprints as its cheaper - it does add up with a mortgage!

Quick look on eBay and I seen 3 decent cars for around the 4-5k mark.

A mate of mine is also about to put up for sale an r32 gts4 which has just had a stagea rb25det engine fitted. It's a few more dollars than those cars but hell fun to drive.

how much is he selling it for?

Gents,

Hope all is well.

Digging up an older thread, there only seems to be rules for the mini's on the MRA website, i tried emailing one of the contacts on the website with no luck. Can someone tell me where to get the regs for the other classes.

By the way i will be keeping the R33 and using it.

Cheers,

Daniel

If you wanted to enter the Skyline, you would be class C or Class D (depending on treaded or slick tyres)

Category: Combined Sedans / Super TT

Rules of Competition.

1. The body shape must be a sedan or coupe.

2. All cars must comply with the relevant CAMS category rules that the car was built too.

3. Competitors are eligible for points upon payment of an annual Eligibility Fee (currently $30),to be

applied by the MRA toward operating costs (trophies etc). Competitors must ensure the MRA

Secretary receives this Fee prior to practice at the first meeting.

4. All competitors are subject to the below class structure.

5. Capacity multipliers for turbo, supercharged and rotaries will apply to all cars.

Classes.

Class A Over 2L on Slick tyres (2001 cc upwards)

Class B Under 2L on Slick tyres (up to and including 2000 cc)

Class C Over 2L on Treaded tyres (2001 cc upwards)

Class D Under 2L on Treaded tyres (up to and including 2000 cc)

Note:

1. The onus is on the competitor to present their car in a compliant and legal condition.

2. Remember – “If it’s not in the Rules, you can’t do it”.

I have underlined the important bit.

Basically the car needs either a CAMS or AASA log book

If the car is modified, even with just a front mount, the easiest logbook to get would be: Group 3D Sports sedan

From memory there are a couple of guys on here trying to get the R32 and R33 on the Group 2 Sports cars list.

Anyway hope this helps

Andrew

I'll eventually finish something I've been working on.

Just haven't had the time in between preparing and building other peoples cars to get anything of my own done lately.

John decided to keep the 180sx so that build is now back in full swing and has gone spastic, leaves little time for my own cars as we do that after hours instead.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
