Just read my email, nice and cheap :( . I like the copy and paste job of the CAMS tarmac regs too :teehee:

I havn't gone through all the doco, are we still following the CAMS camera mount specs?

Also I see Glenny is in this year, he should be in with a show if he dosn't distroy his tyres.

yeah the plan is to maintain the regs as much as suitable as they were actually the targa regs before they became the tarmac rally regs anyway.

minor tollerences included though are optional radiators and oil coolers are back in, 15% tollerence on exhausts so off the shelf products can be used and thats about it from memory.

camera rules remain the same as they're a saftey issue, but include the sub-100gram non metal cage tollerence on lip stick and light weight cameras.

So, Quinny's "borrowing" the 34 for Rally Tas (starts today). Hope he keeps it nice and straight, don't really feel like a rushed repair job close to targa. :D

So whats everyone think of the AASA thing?!

From Mumbai - India: Oh my goodness gracious me...

Competition is always a good thing and I think that also applies to motorsport administration. I will miss some of the CAMS officials, but there are a couple who wouldn't get a job picking up trolleys in coles car park that I will NOT miss.

Benno - all someone has to do now is lobby for "adjustable camber plates" and it will be perfect. I think the 15% rules makes sense too. People want to here race cars as well as hissy production cars.

Ah well back to work, then off to Nigeria - UK - Holland and home... not ideal preperation, but better than none at all.

SO repeat after me "Camber plates are OK... common every one, I cant hear you

Congrats SB/MP & crew

We don't need ajustible camber arms, N1 arms = 3.2 deg neg :P . So repeat after me "we'r not helping any stinking EVO's" :laugh: . A lot of the feild would benifit from them though, the EVO's in GTP seem to have heaps of camber.

lol evos are too quick already. any more help and they will be able to catch skylines :)

GTP/3E requires standard arms like targa, but they do allow mounting points to be moved by up to 25mm.

edit cancel that i forgot evos run struts right? strut tops are free in 3E

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
