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?

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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
