Yep, that's it. The only thingI would add is that you can get a four point rollbar in place of the six point rollcage which is good to 10.000. For a regularly street driven car this might be a lot easier to get away with.

but must have side intrusion bars fitted (drivers side must be welded in)

You can use a four point welded rollbar if you run 10.999 to 10.000. No side intrusion bar required at all with a rollbar obviously (no way to mount it).

Six point rollcages can have a removable side intrusion bar on the driver's side. No need for any instrusion bar on the passenger side.

Old news chap, the recent rule changes (20th August 2004) allow for a removable side intrusion bar. Or else Greg Shultz shouldn't have issued mine with a tech inspection pass on my log book last year!

Removable Intrusion Bars: Effective immediately, the use of removable intrusion bars will be permitted in street registered sedan based vehicles with original, unmodified monocoque construction and full steel roof, running 8.00 seconds (1/4 mile) / 5.00 (1/8 mile) or slower. The intrusion bar/s must be the same diameter and thickness as the main roll cage hoop and must be attached using a minimum of 3/8 inch (10mm) bolts. Male or female clevis attachment permitted. Male clevis must use two minimum 1/8-inch-thick brackets welded to each roll-cage upright; female must use minimum 1/4-inch-thick bracket welded to each roll-cage upright. Bolts must be within 8 inches (200 mm) of the vertical portion of both the forward and main hoops. A half-cup backing device must be welded to the vertical portion of the main hoop (inward side) or the upper end of the swing-out bar (outward side), minimum 1/8 inch (3 mm) extending past the centre of the bolts by the diameter of the tube. Sliding sleeves with minimum 2-inch (50mm) engagement are permitted in lieu of the upper cup. All bolt/pin holes in the swing out bar must have at least one hole diameter of material around the outside of the hole.

Bloody Shieldsy....he told me the drtivers side must be welded in.....he also said "if you gotta climb over the bastard to get in, you may as well make your passengers too" It works ok and stops you from being lazy and scuffing the sides of the seat getting in and out.

Ahh well too late for me

thanks for the correct info Kenny

see ya on the track soon as you get it all finished

Paul,

No problem! You don't need a passenger's side intrusion bar at all either. See you when mine is finished ... finally!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
