As some of you may know the NSW CAMS Supersprint Championship introduced Time Attack classes.

If you interested in competing or want to practice for the Superlap it could be perfect place.

The classes are same as Superlap: Club Sprint and Open.

If you want more info you can find it on

Have fun

Great atmosphere and people to run with, pity they did not have this class a few years back.

Personally I would wait for the stamp on type 6 from CAMs, if you want to get a record or trophy - hope it goes ahead.

Problem they will have with type 6 is unreg vehicles in NSW obtaining logbooks.

For cams to add a "time attack" category to there needs to be a time attack association that apply for it to be added.

The majority of time attack vehicles are not rego'ed and alot of the aero does not fall into the general requirements in the manual of Motorsport.

The manuals general requirements are written with collaborations from cams staff and liability solicitors/insurance carriers.

So there is no way that monstrous aero will be "log bookable" just because it's time attack

So considerable amounts of cars would need the aero cut down to fall within the general requirements which type 6 would need to adhere too.

Then you still need a "time attack" category to log book the cars under so that they can run in NSW. Rego vehicles no problem obviously.

I've had a couple of cars knocked back at inspection time due to aero that's outside the sports sedan regulations which is what we've been trying to register the cars as.

One GTR this week was rejected due to the rear wing being too high, wide and far back. Front and rear undertrays being too long and spliter too long.

It can't run at the NSW states without a log book. It can't be logbooked as anything currently. There can't be a time attack category to log book without a time attack assosiation to apply for a category.........

Not to mention that there aren't actually many time attack cars that could move out of the workshop they are sitting in under their own power :pirate:

Anyway......who from SAU is doing the sprint series this year? There has been a few people in previous years but it looks like it is falling off pretty badly now?

Are you and Duncan running Marek?

I've registered again for this year. I've competed for 3 years now and it's a great competition and I've made lots of friends.

I don't think I'll be able to commit to doing every round like I did last year, but I'm hoping to do at least half of them.

One thing I am worried about though is the track progress (or lack of) at Eastern Creek. With all this rain they have been delayed alot. Not sure if they will have the South Circuit finished in time for some of the scheduled events.

Heard a rumour the track work won't be finished until later this year like Aug-Sept.

so.. is there going to be a protest to the type 6 credentials? i mean, not by the obvious people posing the questions, but by the faceless paddock people for which the said people are apparent reps? wish i had a time machine, we could go back a few years and tell the time attack people they have a totally illegit. sport. sort of going quiet on that front for some reason.

CAMS operates on a completely different basis to AASA. CAMS is the old mate conservative establishment, AASA goes where the demand is. Must suck to be in a CAMS dominated mexican state if you are not part of the CAMS incrowd :P

      What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
