Hi all Supersprinters - NSW

Here's some PROVISIONAL ONLY UNTIL APPROVED BY CAMS STATE EXECUTIVE changes attached.

Have your say - good to see time attack cars included - your thoughts on rules?

Type 4 and SV interesting!

Please voice your opinion to CAMs good or bad

Interesting attempt to bring the regs back closer to what their competitors are doing. I still have absolutely no idea why type SV (or now time attack) exist outside the regular 1-4 classes. And they continue to rely on the meaningless rule of "road registered" without requiring "road legal"

Andrew, you will be please to know that Time Attack regs say:

2.6.2 Coil over suspension kits are permitted.

Hammerhead S13s are unfortunately banned.

Hammerhead S13s are unfortunately banned.

but that rule's only in section "3 Open Category Regulations" - Hammerheads are free to run in Clubsprint! lol

The rule's really poorly worded too. Do they mean the width of the coachworh at that point, or at it's widest point?

Its funny that they got so caught up in cut-and-pasting WTAC rules they're just reiterating or contradicting other CAMS General Requirements... roll cages, exhausts, wheels, seats, harnesses etc...

You laugh about the "Coil over suspension kits are permitted" rule, but its not so funny when read in conjunction with this; "All Vehicles:- must only be modified as permitted by these Clubsprint Category Regulations". So this is all you can do to your suspension for instance:

2.6 Suspension

2.6.1 Suspension mount points as provided by the original vehicle manufacturer must be utilized.

2.6.2 Coil over suspension kits are permitted.

2.6.3 Aftermarket suspension arms are permitted

that's it! that's all you are permitted to do to your suspension. No sway bars! No replacement bushes! etc etc... what retard writes this stuff?

Are you allowed to run a front splitter and canards?

They protrude the coachwork don't they... Or do they become apart of the coachwork ;)

If they are permanently fixed then they are part of the 'coachwork', love that antiquated word ;) My ruling for what it is worth.

PS: get a lawyer to go over regs wording before release, for crying out......

In every series I've seen they interpret coachwork as the original (or replacement) body panels. Otherwise there would be no limit on how wide a car could be if anything you add to the coachwork is coachwork. Canards and splitters generally are narrower than the widest point of the car's body.

If 'coachwork' is to be interpreted as 'original coachwork' then that should be made clear because obviously there can be two different opinions if that is not done. Not trying to be a bitch but properly drafted regulations or whatever should be as unambigious as possible to save aggro and misunderstandings down the track. I used to draft stuff in another life, it is an art and not something most people can do well without some training at least.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
