Hmm, maybe I should enter the beast. Should be run in by then. With Reece, Liz, me and prob Dave we just need Cassbo to make it a reunion tour!

Yes! Indeed you should. It's been a while!

It might be tight but my Riceline may be running come late October :D

Are skids allowed?

We are not allowed to drift the course, link up corners or keep your foot in it burnouts. But tyre slippage around such tight courses is to be expected. These are rules from insurance not us.

Yep definately not our choice... We <3 skids!

it's a shame really.

That's the reason I started going these.

Get the burnouts off the street and all.

Can't fight insurance though :(

It is an interesting rule they have created but we must operate within their regulations.

It does not take away the fun of the day :) Its still a cheap bit of fun :yes:

I think people might be getting too concerned about the change.

As I understand it the clarification was that this is a motorkhana, not a drift event.

So if you go out to link the whole course and do a few helis that's not OK.

If you spin the wheels launching, lock the wheels turning around a cone or even sliding around a given cone or 2 that would be OK. It's still great fun, and a great event for people to do their first motorsport event because it's easy on the car :)

To confirm the changes,

I am quite concerned actually, as all I have been doing over the last two texi events were skids and linking corners. How strict will these rules apply to suppress ‘induced power sliding’?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
