They went through a list of cars that have previously competed as sports cars in cams category's and created the list from that.

I'm sure if you ask the question then the skyline would be added to the list.

They have only allowed red book cars and engine combinations though. So no RB30's or 25's in R32's etc.

Shame they have elliminated some true cams homologated sports cars with that red book requirement.

  • 1 month later...

After the first enduro yesterday it looks like another MX5 category.....

The concept is good but they need to get a variety of cars to actually participate.

Interesting to see the pulsars and excels on the track together. It's a shame they didn't just combine and agree on one make.

The excel guys have a far better structure and committee. The pulsar guys have a much better car.

Have to have some ca$h to build one to last one hours worth of racing!

Interesting series, but some of their power figures are out. 350z for example.

Far from it.

I built the S15 that finished 3rd overal yesterday

We also did the Wakefield 300 in it as well.

Fmic

Exhaust

Intake

Haltech&data logger

Brembo front brakes

R33 rear brakes

Couple of hard race adjustable arms

MCA shocks and eibach springs

Cage and safety equipment

The car is capable of 65's but the owner was running in a new engine yesterday (during the 1 hour enduro) which was built just for the sake of having a fresh engine.

Build cost would be around 20k including purchase price (car is on the wovr)

Compared to his lotus exige that is being built for production sports the S15 is a bargain. 20k didn't even cover the transmission for the lotus.

They are flavour of the month at the moment.

I don't see the point of having an MX5 category when they all run in MSC as well.

most of the superTT/mx5 field is Mazdas

8/10ths of the MSC field is Mazdas.

A lot of those are the same entrants.

Wakefield park have been trying to attract spectators back to their events for some time now. But really who wants to see two categories with the same cars going round just with a different category name.......

It's a new event, it got entries, could be the start of bigger things. What's not to like? Hey your hate for mx5s I guess! Lol

Mx5s are affordable and can be competitive. Who cares? Why don't you do something proactive and promote it toget other entries too? Would give you business may be also?

I wouldn't say I hate Mx5's Chris.

I actually agree that they are a good little platform & an entertaining thing to watch.

The modern sports could be a good category but they've prevented a lot of the prod sports homologated cars from competing. If you look at the rules it's more of a class within superTT rather than a whole new category.

As for promoting the category I've done the same for potential MSC competitors that I did for the pulsar guys offering stupidly cheap cages for new cars and 2 of the 5 non Mazda entries were preped and built here for the category.

I hope it goes far

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
