Any sort of roster for other events or will it be a random friday night every 2 months?

I can't make this one coz my car will be the same as last time so theres no point :P. But I will have a tune up a few days after this event.

I declare that i will beat 1 minute, next time I go :O

Topaz...you would be surprised mate as the best mod to get time off is improvment in driver ability. I went to the same track last year once at the start of the championship and 2nd nearer the end....with no mods to my car I managed to chop 5secs off my first time and all that was down to bigger balls (breaking later, carrying more speed round a corner...)

Hey guys, I thought you might be interested to know what cars to expect on the night. (once again there are still places available if your still interested)

Cam....the ext can be fitted anywhere as long as it can be reached by the driver whilst belted in the drivers seat. Mines against the tunnel in the passenger footwell, however have also seen it mounted behind the drivers seat under the rear seat padding on the vertical section (if that makes sense!!).

R34...if the event is being run as a CAMS sanctioned event then yes the ext is mandatory.

Does the extiguisher need to be of a certain type or can it be one of the one's available at Repco ect?

schedule H of the CAMS competitors guide says that the extinguisher must:

(i) comply with Australian Standard 1841 (This means dry powder)

(ii) Must be of at least 900g capacity (ie 2lb).

(iii) Must be inspected every six months (& tagged) & serviced every three years (ie recharged)

When you buy one there are two things to look for:

It has a metal bracket - try not to get one with a plastic bracket as the scrutineers don;t tend to like them.

It will have a build date stamped on the body near the hadle - get the newest one possible.

To answer your other question - I got mine from Repco.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
