Pro class is getting out of control!!! Think I'll stick with open class where the cars still resemble the street cars they started as

lol yes it is out of control. I think that is the whole idea of having open and pro classes, one being more controlled than the other.

The pro class is exciting if that is your thing. innovation and engineering freedom allows for some truly fast cars.

we are sticking with the crazieness of pro class!

funny thing is the fastest car, Cyber Evo, wouldn't look out of place in Open Class. Its just nowhere near as radical as some of the things with bullshit crazy aero that still can't match it. No doubt it has very good well developed aero, but its not the 'out-there' stuff we're seeing from some of the locals. Hopefully they ban front wings before someone goes all 'Rado' on us over here...

As much as I really don't like Evos, I can't help but like the Cyber car.

Don't be fooled Harry, the cyber car has so much aero going on you just don't know it. Very trick.

They have numerous wind tunnel testings. etc. they have tried to make it look subtle even down to not painting the side skirts below the obvious more 'OEM line'

I won't list the features on the aero they have tuned but if you knew aero and you looked over the car you would know it.

plus its bullshit light and well setup over years of testing and has a very dedicated team.

check out the aero pics below. These guys don't even have bolt holes hanging below the full carbon floor, they have it suspending completely from above without and impediment to flow. this is just the top surface of the cars floor.

also check out the subtle but very trick air flow from the wheel wells. don't be fooled as i said, this is way beyond an open team.

how do I know?

I studied the car, I studied the people, I studied the theory and I discussed with the experts.

These guys are smart.

A lot of the local cars with 'crazy aero' have not had the years of tuning and setup mods the cyber team have endured. don't be too quick to judge. most only had the cars bolted together only just in time to make the event last year.

I've seen and heard all the stuff about their aero before - its no secret. Its just that they keep the car looking like a car. Not adding 2 feet of strange platypus bill out the front or wings off the sides or a couple of feet of the world's biggest diffuser on the back up to the height of the taillights. I've got no doubt all that stuff that fella designed works, but it looks crap, and Cyber shows you don't need all that outrageous stuff to be fast.

I think that the craziness of Pro Class is great. It allows free thinking and ideas you could never implement in controlled motorsport categories.

I agree that Mark Berry's R34 and the MCS S13 look completely ridiculous from a " i want m car to look like that" point of view but in a logical way they look kinda cool

But I also like that Open Class stays true the cause a bit more. I think a few further regs might need to be put in place to really keep that differentiation. \

Pro Class has one appeal, and open class has the appeal of still looking like the original car. Pull the wing and splitter of most cars in Open and take the stickers off and them look like JDM styled street cars. We decided to keep JET200 Open class so that Motive DVD viewers can still relate to the car and buy the bits it uses. A Pro class car is too out of reach for 99.9% of our viewers and out of reach of my bank balance! lol

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
