Yes Wayne you can remove all of those.

In regards to the Pro Driver thing Ian has informed me that NO Pro driver ( This being anyone who has been payed a salary or wage to drive in any competetive form of motorsport ) will be allowed to drive in Clubsprint Class.

How about the registered owner of the vehicle has to drive? Isnt that easier and removes all arguments. After all shouldnt this class be for the club guy that races his own car.

I think amongst club drivers i can hold me own, but a semi professional driver will still leave me for dead by the tune of over 2 seconds :ninja: So happy to improve as a driver and catch the better club level drivers....but am never going to bridge the gap to a professional driver who has at least 10 times the seat time i get a year :D

If they are going to run their own cars then cool, sux to be me....but dont want the same driver punting 3 cars in the class so i am getting beaten 3 times by the same driver :(

and that 20 minutes dissappears so quickly if you have a drama!!

FIngers crossed no one has any major dramas

Sorry Steve, should have been a bit clearer. I use RE55's, and I wouldn't want to pay for, say, RT615's just for one event when I wouldn't use them again. :D

No probs mate :ninja: (i know what you mean, i hate paying for street tyres)

Nah, I'm looking to buy one at the moment. I'm probably going to go with Brown Davis here in Vic, which is who Troy had his cage made through. Just have to go and discuss plans with him and get a quote.

I spoke with Bond on the phone a few months back, and I wasn't too happy with the price, considering I needed to have it put together here, and there is still some modification required. I also didn't like his attitude too much, but was just curious to see what prices you got.

Oooh, are they pricey?

Yeah i got a price of $880, and i got the same service for free

I got Bruce Dumbit at NRW Rollcages in QLD to make and install mine. was hassle free. I priced up a bond cage too and thought it was a bit pricy for something that was not fitted etc.

Full cage of half?

They seem quite reasonable, but it depends what you want I guess. He's going to show me some designs, and I'll let ya know. I'm hoping to get down there this weekend.

Check the rollcage thread, Troy's cost around the same as your quote, but that's installed. Was your quote installed by them?

Sweet, at least we have sorted the so called 'PRO' driver thing out.

Normally for motorsport you need to have a high standard to enter events if there is a driving standard involved.

I have never been paid so I am entering in both classes :D

At any level of sport you have different levels of skill and this event should be about putting on a show to the public and showing them the full potential of these motor vehicles.

A number of workshops that I know of do not have vehicles eligable for open class and were wanting to run in the clubsprint class. They have drivers for there cars so that they can show off there products to the public and be as competitive as they possibly can. Why should we limit the driving standards!!!!! I am trying not to swear.

Anyhow, what chance do I have......both of the cars that I am driving only have 4 cylinders and one diff!!

If your a workshop and entered in the clubman class one would think that there wouldn't be much to show off besides bodykits and wheels, not trying to be rude but if I had a workshop I'd want to show the public how competitive the car can be on semi comps not shitty street tyres.. But hey, that's just me.... :D

Unfortunately the rules cannot accomodate for everybody, so I reckon we just get out there and have some FUN!! AND PLENTY OF DRINKS AFTERWARDS!!!! :D

And FUN it should and will be. This is what events with cars and good like minded people are about :cheers:

There are some pretty good tyres available for clubsprint. And you are right Jack, about these workshops with 'BLING'

It is just some of them do not have proper cars set up for open class.

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
