Just a quick question about my car and eligibility in NSW CAMS Supersprints. Currently my R32 GTR is unregistered and is fitted with a halfcage. Having a look at the regs I'm not really sure what category I fit into (or if I fit at all for that matter)

Type 1
Unmodified Production Cars (excluding Four Wheel DriveTurbos, Clubmans, Kit Cars and Replicas), where the onlyfreedoms relate to safety, engine reconditioning, tyres and some cosmetic items.
Type 2
Modified Road-Registered Vehicles (excluding Clubmans, Kit Cars and Replicas), allowing originally available options and limited modifications to engines, suspension and tyres.
Type 3
Competition vehicles based on Group 3 - Improved Production Cars rules as defined in the CAMS Manual.
Minor additional freedoms are allowed to recognise that there will be some roadregistered vehicles competing, that cannot meet full 3J rules.
Type 4
Competition vehicles based on Group 3D Sports Sedan rules as defined in the CAMS Manual. In addition, any vehicle that conforms to Type 1, 2, 3 or SV requirements, apart from Clubmans, Kit Cars and Replicas,
shall be permitted to employ or use Race Tyres but if it does so it shall be classified as a Type 4 vehicle.
Type 5
Clubmans, Kit Cars and Replicas (whether Road Registered or not) using Race Tyres, Racing Cars,SportsRacing Carsand Sports Racersor as classified by the NSWSupersprint Panel.
Type 6
Highly modified mass produced vehicles commonly knownas “Time Attack” vehiclesthat are modified specifically forthe performance of fast lap times and not for racing.
Type SV
Road registered vehicles with no limit on modifications.

The car is not logbooked, and currently is on semi's. What class would I be able to run in?

First of the above post is incorrect, type one excludes AWD turbo cars, type 3 you will need to prove your running standered boost or have a CAMS turbo monitor with turbo restrictors as per improved production regulations. Tyres are not a big a deal in any class but can run slicks in type 4.

Main problem you have being unregintered is you will requier a CAMS log book to be able to enter the supersprint series.

If you get or have a CAMS log book then i would recomend to run in Type 6 under the Time Attack Class or if you want to use full slick run type 4. If you run in type 3 your boost and any mods are closly monitored and will most likely need turbo restrictors.

Thanks for that. So cars racing under 3J regs are closely scruitneered on race day then? I wasn't sure they would go to that much effort for a super sprint. Looks like I am going to log book my car anyway, still deciding whether its worth running 3J or not. Thanks for your help :)

An r33 gts is not awd?

Tyres change class as well?

I am now logbooking my car as a 3D sports sedan. For super sprints and just regular track days, will I need to wear a flame retardant race suit and gear?

Or can I get away with long sleeves etc?

The CAMS NSW Supersprint Series has made a rule to wear a race suit, but will let single layer go kart suit and non-flammable mechanic overalls pass.

So your best to get a single layer go kart suit of eBay for under $100 or pick up some overalls like King-gee...

Thanks for that, I'll probably just get a proper nomex suit as I'll need for iRace anyway. What about helmets? All I have is a shitty $100 job from a motorbike shop.

Also, Brad mentioned earlier that Clubsprints were a bit more relaxed. Are clubsprints the ones on the website hosted by the WRX club etc?

Yes clubsprints are a bit more relaxed if run my eg WRX car club or SAU track days ect...

There's a few CAMS supersprints coming up and I need to logbook my car to enter. It appears my options are Type 3 (3J), Type 4 (3D) or Type 6 (Time attack).

What would be the easiest class to log book my car for? Obviously 3J is the most difficult, but I guess it would be the most competitive for my car.

How competitive is the Time Attack class? Do many of the big guns show up?

As for running in Type 3, will they actually check for boost monitoring etc? I expect to be way behind the pack as far as times go, so i don't think I'll be raising any eyebrows from fellow competitors.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
