Hey all,

Just a quick note to everyone competiting in 2006 in track days that there is a new requirement for Modified Skylines to be equipped with a harness when competiting in the WRX Club events. i.e. cars that fall into either our Modified RWD or Modified AWD classes. But all cars should consider one anyways. They make driving around a track so much easier as you dont have to try and hold yourself in place whilst driving.

I can recommend Meridian Motorsport as a good source for these.

Cheers

Snowy.

Had a qick look, doesn't seem to be a set of rules re: modifications anywhere. Or am I just a useless searcher?

I'm guessing mine, now that it has the RB25DET, would be classed as "modified".

Last year in our classes we set the rules for modified as:

changes to 2 or more of - turbo, fuel pump and injectors

or

semi-comp tyres

or

complete engine upgrade.

all other mods were free in "standard" class.

The 4 point harness from Meridian was around $400 from memory.

Just to clarify, this seems to be a Supp Regs thing, so whilst CAMS allow you to enter a Club Sprint with a non - FIA approved harness, or an expired harness provided it is installed correctly and in good condition...am i right in saying that we need as a min FIA approved 3" 4 point harnesses...and fastened in the correct manner?

Also, check that your build doesnt dictate that you need a 5 point harness. Read your manuals to see how the buckles should sit when you are strapped in, asincorrectly adjusted harnesses can be veruy dangerous in an accident.

Not hard to get right, but easy to get wrong :D

Is it worth trying to organize a group buy or a discount through a supplier since there will be so many members that will require harnesses before the first wrx day? Do the wrx club have anything organized? Just thought I might ask so it may save some of us a little money. It is a reasonable ask, just look at the times some of the cars are doing now and roll cages aren't required. One day a car will have a massive crash and if somebody gets really hurt it may put club racing out of many peoples reach due to insurance or over regulation. Just my thoughs. Worth the money! Can't put a price on your life.

This may be a stupid question, in relation to the harnesses, for new drivers if they are considering entering into a "Driver Training" section is the car required to have 2 harnesses fitter for driver and passenger? Or is Driver Training different and doesn’t require any harnesses??

I have a pair of Willians LD6 4/6-point harnesses fitted in the R34... FIA approved and expire in 2009 or something. they really keep you in your seat! But I'd also highly recommend a full bucket seat, soo much easier to concentrate on cornering when you dont have to hold on to the transmission tunnel with one hand to stop yourself from sliding around :lol: The only downside is they are a prick to get in and out of....

gareth - i think meridan give a pretty decent price to us as its stands anyhow.

but im sure if a few of you get your a$$es into gear and walk in there asking for 5 or more sets you mighty be able to come to some agreement

Why?

you have a quick release, its no different to a seatbelt in terms of getting "out" of a car incase of an accident

Probablt easier to find IMO as if your upside down, the seatbelt buckle isnt that hard to find... and i speak from expirience ;)

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
