As I said I'll be impressed if it happens. Effectively the only aero allowed under club rules is a big wing so it means most of this time has to come from a combo of good grunt and exceptional pedal skills rather than from some computer generated design that maximizes potential grip.

Anyone have a picture of this EVO?

I reckon alot of the cars that turn up in Clubsprint will be technically illegal. I doubt anyone will pull them up for it though.

Clubsprint Rules

Vehicle Modifications

All Vehicles must be presented as manufactured unless stated below.

Body

• All convertible type vehicles must be equipped with a hard top or a roll cage that complies with AASA Standing Regulations.

• The use of a Carbon or FRP Bonnet and Rear Wing is permitted.

• The use of an FRP Front Bar, Rear Bar, Side Skirts and Bonnet is permitted.

• Carbon and FRP Guards, Doors, Boot Lids and Roofs are NOT permitted, unless fitted as OEM equipment from the manufacturer.

That means no splitters, no canards, no diffusers, no lightweight or non OEM mirrors, no widebody or flares - hell, technically even lipping would be illegal! A quick look on WTAC's Clubsprint page shows pics of cars entered with all those things! lol

No big rear wing either as they will not be presented as manufactured, or is this contradicted below when Rear Wing is mentioned ?

Depends how you read I suppose ?

I remember reading somewhere that the Cyber Evo wouldn't conform to any regulations for any form of racing, it's that sparse on for safety......

In regards to Clubsprint, it's a joke they can do 39's. There should be no aero allowed and they should all be factory bodied. Call if Production if you must. Even the aero in Open will be over the top this year, and dangerous as everyone is hell bent on weight reduction. That Evo wing fail won't be the last over the next few weeks...

The lines between classes is becoming greyer every year.

my 2 bobs worth!

It would be nice if there was some ruling on aero for Open maybe keep it to CAMS sports sedan specs or put a 200mm limit on wings, canards and splitters - diffusers like the CAMS Supersprint series have done and leave Pro to the wild looking aero cars. There my thoughts on the matter....

This car was running in clubsprint back in 2010 when i was running my R32 GTR, some how got away with the it as it was made from alloy not carbon?

That'd be a good starting point I'd reckon...

No doubt in my mind Pro should be clearly different to Open.

hehe they asked me to crew for them this year. I don't know what the wording of the rules were in 2010, but in 2012 regardless of material used splitters, canards and diffesuers are not permitted in Clubsprint according to the rules published on the WTAC website. As I said before, I doubt there will be any enforcement of the rules - that's not what WTAC is about. The rules have always been broken since day 1 in WTAC and the organisers don't care.

Cool - if the rules are more just guidelines then I'm running slicks :)

Actually it's kinda disappointing - only because the crash I had earlier this year has left me with a dented / poked roof, so I was going to put a CF wrap over it to a) try and hide the dents and b) cause a shit stir about having a CF roof! :)

In all seriousness if this is the car and it can run a 39 in this guise on street rubber then all kudos to them. It will be one of the many things I'm looking forwards to seeing in a few weeks time.

It looked to have a cyber front end in the other pics.

I dont mind what Pro does, but Open should have restrictions on aero.

My idea is no flat floor between rear firewall and rear diff

Difusser can come any higher than the height of the rear tyre ( stop those super duper rear difussers like the CRX, Berry and MCS cars)

Front splitter can only protrude a certain amount past the headlights

Splitter can't be wider than the tyres

Canards cant be wider than tyres

these rules would keep the cars looking like cars, which is the bet thing about Open class.

Clubsprint should be about what is street legal, or easily modifiable for track use on a weekend. Rear wings whatever, but canards and front splitters should be banned. Over fenders aren't so bad as heaps of people have them on street cars, but factory metal except bonnet

Overfenders are out for club atm, as u need to run metal gaurds. Although metal overfender I suppose...

I think that should stay, else u have club sprint running 295 rubber.

The only issuse is that some cars come with a flat floor from the factory, one in all in surely is the fare thing to do?

I'd like to see no canards in club and a restriction on front lip length in both club and open classes. Also a min height in club. Maybe topgear speed bump test, lol. If the cars are to be 'street', surely u have to be able to drive them, well on the street.

rules will always be hard to police and there will always be people that take it to the letter of the law like what we have seen in F1 with many teams over the years and in any number of motorsport series. As an example andrew simply above with the splitter width and length you have specified you could simply (taking it as you have written it down) move the headlights and run wider wheels or spacers to get a larger splitter.

Lol, yep

Thats why you use a set of rules like the CAMS 3D Sports Sedan Coachwork and Aerodynamic section 3.

For the guys that don't know them have a read, yes some of the things can be removed from that list to suit time attack but very good base to start with...

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
