i'm thinking of doing some circuit racing this year and was wondering what class people would recommend? i was thinking of super tt but i'm not sure cause i've never raced before. i don't think i'm going to be able to afford Drift Australia again this year, but i still want to compete in something. i'll have to modify my cage and i'm not sure if my standard brakes will be up to it, what pads do people use? thanks in advance for any tips. nathan weissel

Get some r33 or r34 brakes on it, nice wide semi comps, then take it hillclimbing :glare:

I know a place you can practice :laugh:

There's also the motokhana champs in addition to the hillclimb champs. Or the circuit club or the SSCC etc

Nathan,

It all depends what you want to do mate.

When you say race, as in grid racing like Improved Production or any "State series?"

Or supersprints etc with other clubs?

Doing any state rounds etc, Im pretty sure you'd need to modifiy the car in line with the rules and regs etc.

If you joined the SSCC, you can do their interclub series with the alfa,hsv and wrx clubs.

They do supersprints, hillclimbs and 'khana's. (these guys arent strict with mods and stuff!)

With their classing, Im fairly sure you would be in the SVD class.

I joined the SSCC and will be trying to get out to a few sprints.

Pads? check out the suspension/braking section - theres a brake pad user rating guide in there! All I have been using have been benedict's.

Cheers,

Chris

p.s. Steve, werent you meant to be joining the SSCC?!!?

i kind of like the idea of racing door to door with other cars.

Have a chat with Duncan. I know he is doing a series this year, one thing though I think there is alot of restrictions to mods etc.

p.s. Steve, werent you meant to be joining the SSCC?!!?

As soon as my cars moving under its own power ill send the money to them

Funny that, its up to this bloke :glare: .......

i kind of like the idea of racing door to door with other cars.

Didnt you say budget is a constraint?

Door to door wont be cheap. As far as racing on a budget goes IMO the SSCC sprints are good value (points are awarded etc)

what's sscc?

i talked to the promoter of arms today and he said my car should be ok in super tt and the handicaped thing sounds pretty cool.

"arms" ?

i'm not giving up drift, i might have to postpone it for this year due to lack of funds, but i should be right for next year. i'll still do local drift comps and interstate ones with decent prize money.

yeah thats a shame to hear nathan - no doubt money is more important than talent in motorsport.

SuperTT for sure for an ex drift car.

Cams doesn't have any category suitable -

production cars like I run in are 99% standard including boost

improved production requires a 38mm restrictor (tiny) for turbos

sports sedans you would be legal for those but they are about 1.00 flat around wakefield.

AMRS is the most friendly for turbo cars in nsw, they run a couple of rounds in nsw each year. I'm going to try and do a round or 2 with them now I'm allowed to run a boost controller.

I haven't done a round with them yet, but I understand there is a maximum difference between your quakifying and race pace. Not sure what the penalty is but they've been doing this for afew years now,....

be a damn shame to not see you in DA this year, allways liked your driving style smooth and fast.

Would be very interesting to see how the car goes in proper racing, as in grip and power levels. And to see how someone thats been drifting goes in it.

Good luck!!

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
