2007 Sau-vic Motorsport Championship

Put me in std...thats 1 car that may rock up

[Hardman69]

Hey: My GTS-T has 'Zorst, 'cooler & PowerFC but that's it . . . . . If I bolt on my R-Compounds, I'd get FLOGGED in modified! (180rwkw just doesn't cut it nowadays!)

hmm.. . . Maybe Banzai driving could overcome the power deficit ! =D

[R31Nismoid]

So dont put r-comps on there.

but even then, if you rocked upto every event, you'd be likely to win as most people dont make every event.

consistency wins more so than outright speed for half of the events

so true!

I like Scotsmans point about the tires, you can make as much power as you want but you will still have to put it to the ground through street tires... and with the fuel system restrictions just means that nobody will be running 300rwkw in standard class and making up too much time on the straights...

and lets face it if you really wanted to cheat you could... but it would be kind of weird... and a little tragic

kinda like dressing up like a pirate

[Scotsman]

But im standard yea

Yes when on street tyres

However if you did injectors with your turbo, you would be in Mod RWD.

[Scotsman]

So I have aftermarket ECU, Pump and Injectors, but run a Nissan OE hiflow turbo......I'm standard class? sweet

I also noticed you've wrote that the PI round cant be your first track day...is that still true? I was wanting to do DT at that event for my first time out on the track in my 33. Do you mean it cant be your first track day if you choose NOT to do DT?

Yes, STD RWD

Best to send an e-mail to [email protected] It's their decision afterall.

But I believe they may not do a DT session for Phillip Island.

But I just BOUGHT R-Compounds ! ! ! !

I think they're worth as much time per lap as 70->100kw anyway, especially at P.I. where you're already wound-up pretty quick onto 2 of the 3 straights.

Sandown is all about the POWER though. Jeremy Clarkson would love it !

Oh, and I know that consistency wins championships - I have a Kart club-champion's trophy to prove it!

(it's largeish & moderately impressive)

[STOCKGTR]

WOOHOOO i fit standard

Damn! So would I if I got on to street rubber. I think I will be selling the R spec tyres and going street rubber.....If I ever fix my clutch that is

[CrispyFries]

A quick question for the future, as the most I'll probably be doing this year is driver training later in the year...

How will non-nissans fit into the current classes? We're attracting more and more non-nissans into the club, though I don't know how many do the track days. Will they be considered on a case by case basis on what's "standard" in terms of the mods done?

Until the club grows substantially we will need to fit 'other' vehicles into the existing classes as best we can. If it's on street tyres with less than three fuel system mods then it will be standard. Anything else is modified. All othe mods are essentially free except for full cage's and extreme lightening of a vehicle. (Fibre panels, no interior at all, etc) We will asses each vehicle on it's merits, but we should be able to fit into a reasoably similar class.

[Russman]

Modified Classes:

(Any of these Mods will put you into modified class)

R Spec Tyres / Slicks under a UTQG rating of 100 tread wear (not including 100)

A Roll Cage

A stripped interior. Removal of rear seats only is allowed.

Any other major weight reduction such as fibreglass doors or perspects windows

Fuel Systems - Either two of Injectors, Fuel Pump or Non Nissan OEM Turbo's.

Non OEM Engine Capacities (GTST with RB26, RB30; GTR with 2.8L, etc)

Sorry to flog this dead horse again but with the fuel system thing are you allowed 2 mods or does 2 mods out of 3 put you in modified. (I have GTR injectors, HKS turbo and standard pump on my GTSt).

[Interloper]

i don't want to start any arguements, but a fuel pump upgrade to a bosch 040 in-tank should not be considered as a mod to put you into a higher class.

R32's often have old worn-out fuel pumps that cannot provide sufficient fuel pressure even on stock turbos when checked on the dyno. I changed mine long before i upgraded the turbo and injectors just for peace of mind....

my 2c.

I will enter the SAU championship one day, once funds allow, but not any time soon....

The two mods out of the three put you into Modified Class.

Noted, But you can replace just the pump and this is why we allow this.

We understand that fuel system component wear out, and please let me try to explain why we have done it this way. Ideally we don't want to punish anyone who has worn out fuel system components and has upgraded rather than replaced with standard as would be the case with most of us. Which is why we allow replacement of any one of these items with an upgraded item. We also understand that these mods are often done for safety reasons which again is why we allow this. But our thinking was that to make a lot more power than standard, the fuel delivery system will need to be upgraded at a certain point across the board. So in our minds this was the fairest way to allow some fuel system replacements for old items, but have a cut off point because replacing the lot will allow for a much higher power output.

I have modified the text on the first page in the hope to make it clearer. "Fuel Systems - Any two out of the following four modifications to either: 1.Injectors, 2.Fuel Pump, 3.Non Nissan OEM Turbo's, or 4.A fuel pressure modification will put you into modified class. (I.E - Only one fuel system mod is allowed)"

[Scotsman]

Also not taken as an argument.

I'd much prefer you guys ask questions and we are all on the same page.

Does this make better sense now?

Feel free to ask any question's. No question is too silly.

thanks for explaining your point so well

i guess you guys have thought it all out pretty well.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

im dead keen on attending a track day as a beginner. i need a cams license right? how do i go about getting one? will the sandown rounds have DT?

cheers.

[Belsil80]

You need to be a financial member of an affiliated club, such as SAU, and you will need a 'Level 2 Speed' Licence. the forms are on the CAMS site i believe. Im sure that the sandown rounds will have DT too.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

thanks...silly question but where do i get a level 1 speed license fisrt...lol

[dezz]

Don't think you need to...just buy a L2S licence and you're done

[Scotsman]

CAMS Level 2 Speed License can be found here: http://www.cams.com.au/downloads/paperform...Application.pdf

Fill out and mail to CAMS member services PO BOX on the form along with Credit card details.
