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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
