SAU stickers come with SAU NSW club membership http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sa...p-F-t44115.html

we have asked the producers for a copy and the OK to distribute...will let you know if it's OK.

subscribed, looking for tips too

yeah mate, is coming with an aerial "to suit". we have talked about the car, roof type, and tracks it will be used at. I don't want the mic but suspect it will come in the radio box, and what bloody use is din fit when the are already gauges there..hope you have your mounting thinking cap on. and yeah a little under 1500 which seems ok considering all the bits. will post up how it goes next year

lol I thought this thread was about running slicks with no cage? And FWIW when I said Time Attack I was thinking "World Time Attack Challenge". QLD has a particular issue since Morgan Park is the only CAMS track left...... One other thing I'd like to know....a couple of people have made a distinction about "Race" cars as though they are inherantly faster than a street car. In my experience a log booked race car is likely to be less modified and heavier (cage etc) than the average road car that turns up to a sprint - so why make the distinction? Common regs should be common regs. A car should not be allowed more (or less) mods because it happens to have a number plate.

actually....I think time attack should adopt the CAMS supersprint regs - afterall it is a cams supersprint! These regs allow for type 5 already for cars which are above sports sedan spec like Duncan's R35. Protecting existing entrants is about the best way to become irrelevent as your potential entrants change. AASA are havnig a field day with this in racing and no doubt that will reflect on sprints in the future too. BTW while we are changing rules - I reckon the sooner NSW adopts the QLD distinction between "sprint" (ie best timed lap) and "supersprint" (best total time for 3 laps from a standing start) the better. It is indeed an excellent step between sprinting and racing, and would reduce the incidence of cars being developed for single flying laps only, allowing them to be more versitile and encouraging their owners to enter other types of events.

omg it's tj! I bet you aren't missing us with some of the tracks you can play on over there. Or are they really 99% ovals afterall? Thanks for that link it is excellent. Couple of things I have learned researching this: 1/ Stilo have lost my business. I spoke to all of the oz based online retailers and none could explain anything more than the blurb I could read from their website. Spoke to Stilo in Italy and they were very slow and didn't seem familiar with wanting both in car and car to pit in 1 system. 2/ All of the serious packages use Vertex radios. Mocomm are. The Sampson kit TJ linked are, and the ones I've decided to buy are. Which brings me to the way I am going. http://www.pmdraceproducts.com/racecommunications.html These guys are local and make their own intercom and looms, and resell the vertex radios. Still expensive but no worse than the US guys (unlike MoComm who are 100% more but no in car comms). I am getting VX2200 hard wired in the car so I don't need to deal with recharging etc. Their kit also comes with prewired loom and push to talk button. Not sure where to mount that yet because my steering wheel is detachable and the boss only allows for a horn button. Might just convert the horn to use as PTT and put the horn on the dash somewhere. Also comes with their inhouse "Enduro" intercom. Found a couple of people who have happily used them for years, and no-one who is unhappy with them. Will need an adapter for Stilo helmet. Then this for the pit side of the comms. vertex handheld + noise cancelling earphones.

ryan if you mean the state sprints you better register asap. in another thread brian mentioned there are 130 registered for only 100 spots already. register via here: http://www.supersprints.com.au/

well, most likely the issue in the right rear is that the top nut on the suspension was not done up tight....you need to crank them down a fair way. however, unless there was an installation mistake, the front shock can't be related to the new suspension - in a double wishbone setup the shock/spring does not help locate the wheel, it only controls it's movement. But perhaps something is loose/wrong/not done up properly there.

lol replays FTW! apparently they are happy to replay the popular stuff so hopefully it will be back for next year.

lol someone watched it. I don't know why but emos and wrxs dont launch anywhere near as well as the gtr, wet or dry. I made 6 spots off the start in race 3

hmmm interesting timing.....might be a good chance for me too

yep right line - so unless your gauge is not working you have a fuel pressure problem. are the lines connected correctly to the car, ie does A go to the fuel filter?

yeah mine matches type 2 (on the assumption 1 is dead stock, 2 is 3E, 3 is 3J, 4 is 3D). It has shocks, springs, ECU, radiator. I just don't get why the classes are such a lottery. And not jsut sprints but elsewhere as well. Why not stick to the same consistent rules to help cross discipline entrants? One other thing I don't understand, and supersprints are not alone - why on earth do NSW racing, sprint and hillclimb fall on the same weekend so often? It stops entrants across disciplines, reduces the available officals, and means neil can't fix my car for me

hmm I will turn it over when I pull the motor....but I don't remember any slots. Bad news if it does have them because it leaks like a sieve.....will be harder to fix. Might simply not be flat as well, we will check it and mill it if necessary

good to see they went to the trouble - who made that one?

no, not sure exactly what it is....only that it clearly is not right. And now that I have mentioned I have had people coming out of the woodwork with the same issue will follow up with the maker though pretty sure no real damage was done, we will check the bearings while the motor is out but should be OK. and funnily enough....I just bought a cube to use as a daily while the march is off the road getting a forged motor...guess it's going to be busy for a while.

well not really. we are going to pull the plate out and machine some grooves into it for sealant (factory sump has this, 3l adaptor plate does not). also....its just a daily not a race car. it will never spend 15min at 6000rpm like it does on the dyno, fingers crossed it will be ok....but I will be struggling to have it back on the road by xmas

interesting you should mention mocomm. apparently that is what most of my competitors are using. http://www.motorsportcommunication.com/default.html $2500 for 2 hand held cbs and some wires? I am genuinely looking for reliable and easily installed....but that seems about twice what it is worth. Similar setup $700 from ebay US: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

almost killed mine. was running hard on the dyno being tuned when oil pressure light came on. investigation underneath shows hge leak from the sump. it appears the proengines 3l adapter plate expands at a different rate to the block, resulting in the sealer breaking and a major leak. motor out to fix the sump

Surprised this thread doesn't exist yet. I am looking to redo the comms in the race/rally car, and can't find a lot of local info like what I am doing. My current setup is terraphone between driver and nav. had it for a few years and still works ok. but doesn't have the extras i am looking for. What I want is: Good quality driver to nav incar comms. Output from incar comms to video camera via simple AV cable. Preferably with seperate volume control Output from incar comms (driver) to uhf radio with PTT button. Good power for long hilly tracks like bathurst. Reliable and simple. Hardwired rather than battery powered if possible. Who is using what, and who is hapy or not. I guess mostly rally incar users here which I'm not so worried about, would love to hear from anyone who has car to pit comms working well.

Re factory balancing, I think nissan just make stuff the same in the first place (unlike the yanks ). Plenty of people replace flywheel and balancer without resulting balance problems Re ECU, the auto one is a little sensitive to change (ie goes rich very quick compared to skyline with mods) but the only real difference in the auto is it retards timing on auto gear changes. Since it will never get that signal again there are no problems. Ash Josh mentioned I had heaps of pinout trouble with my ECU. so be careful if you change to aftemarket one. starter is same same. no issues. Re wiring, I doubt you will have the auto cutout wiring issue since you have gts4 body loom. Probably a bit of stuffing around ahead matching stagea engine loom to gts4 body loom but I'm sure you are up to it

HGE-NOT?

well....turns out I don't need to flares, mine came with them. this is the new car. I need suggestions on a 3 digit/letter plate....because HGE 80X gives the wrong impression about my wife. Need another suggestion HGE xxx for this car to join HGE 32R, HGE 70W and HGE 10L

BTW, the conditions on my rego are: Used to get to or from CAMS events (ie not AASA) Used to get to or from mechanic for mechanical work Used to get to or from practice. I use 2 and 3 a lot. I call AASA events practice for CAMS events. Phone call required to the CAMS rally rego number every day it is used, about $4 each day in phone charges. Rego is under $100 including greenslip. No pink slip, just owner certification of roadworthiness
