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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
