Over the last couple of years there has been talk of introducing a class within the MS Championship that caters for those nutters wanting to use a slick type tyre.

This includes, but not limited to:

Hoosier

Hankook

Dunlop

Avon

Pirelli

Advan

Bridgestone

It seems this year there maybe enough nutters to actually run this class and provide trophies at the end of the year.

So if we can get a consistent 2 cars on slicks turning up to each round and at least 4 different cars for the year after Haunted HIlls, then the class will be included in the end of year awards. If the numbers are not there, we can still acknowledge you, but you won't get an award.

Please bare in mind that slick type tyre use it up to the discretion of the club running the track day and the use of said tyre is generally dependant on weather conditions. Further more, to be included within the SAU MS Championship on slicks the car much as a minimum have a 6 point CAMS compliant ROPS.

Register your interest here.

Paul has already set a 1.39.x at PI on slicks in the first round of the year.

Bring it on.

Ill be in if there is enough interested parties. Slicks are fantastic compared to r specs, everything is better whilst driving on them except in the rain. It is the best bang for buck mod you can ever do, and you can get heaps more track days out of a set compared to your r specs so your saving $$$.

How bout spicing things up a little also, with fastest timed lap winner at each track at the end of the year??

On another note, John can you get bigger trophies for next years presentation as we could hardly see them...just saying cause I didn't get one.

They have been about a meter high in previous years. I'm running out of space to store em, so smaller ones were a must :P

There is an idea for a perpetual honours board for the fastest time for each track for each year.

I'm keen to have a go on slicks and move on from std awd so that's 2. Just wondering where does the 6 pt RPS requirement come from? not really an option for a road driven car. maybe 4 pt okay?

Class needs a better name. maybe "unlimited"

It's a general understanding that clubs have, some enforce, some don't. In the past WRX have been one that does enforce it.

Either way, commitee has previous agreed that running a slick increaces corner speed a loading and can therefor increase the impact of a mistake.

It maybe a possibility for a 4pt with side intrusion, but that will need to be discussed.

Essentially we need to promote a high level of safety. WTAC mandates 6pt for Open Class and up.

Mr datto nailed it... "Unlimited" class is awesome. Have done some piarc days and 4 point cages are allowed with slicks and no side intrusion as the doors already come with this in place as a registered vehicle. Not 100% on the written regards to cage but seen cars running this set up and pass scrutineering every time.

2nd that.

Slick class is a great idea. Interesting to see how many take it up. I might later in the year but still have sets of AO's from last year WTAC to use up first.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
