It's even funnier that cams have no real written rules regarding cameras so they have left it up to the poor scrut to work it out. I had old man Cary Butchers (spelling) Michele's log book man design my video holder and he now points to it saying thats whats required. I've seen shift-light size ones duct taped to roofs pass scrut and all the little ones like the suction cup hero. Scary was one guy at a Powerplay day that cable tied his including the tripod to his headrest poles.

Titan,,,don't worry about the weather mate,,,it's all good for learning your race-craft. I was always worried about driving in the ran,,,now I love it!!!.

So a good idea for everybody should be to replace those old weather beaten wiper refills with some new ones.

Neil.

Actually it depends on different events regulations.

Oh the rallies you have to have the camera enclosed in a metal bracket which is like 0.5 ml thick (something along those lines) and has to be bolted to the roll bar.

Ok guys, I will be checking cameras in that case. Depending on type and how it is mounted will be determind on the day.

At scrutineering have your car ready as if you are going out on the track.

lol like the front visor thingy, do you needed it?

ahm mm

im confused...

yeah yeah it is, there one sticker on the visor and one on the back of the helmet,

coz i full cbf put the visor down, sweaty n fog n shit :D

Yea having the visor off is fine Albert! I know how hot it can get. Even on the bike I always have mine up.

Chris I have a spare il bring for you....

Its not mechanical, kinchrome digital... we compared it to the mechanical one of Daves and its actually pretty accurate!! ... or you can wait in turn to use the good one! it glows in the dark... hence why I like it.... :(

p.s Corinne... BBC??? suciton cap.... therefore safely mounted yes??? ;)

Haha well just imaging how heavy the BBC is. Then imagine it flying at your head 11ty billion times heavier!

cool. so do we have to have "hans" devices?

and do we all have to have our sump plug and gearbox plugs lock wired?

what about the fire extingisher? its usaly just tek screwed in, is this ok?

and since our cars are all rated to over 2.5litres (turbo multiplier) do we have to have 3 litre catch cans?

also do we have to remove all window tint?

will we be black flagged for not running valve caps on our tyres?

do we have to drain our coolant and refil with a non glycol based inhibiter?

do we need window nets?

and if we have a harness does it have to be in date?

are secondary bonnet locks needed?

what about anti shatter adhesive covers to glass light lenses?

do we need a cams approved tail shaft loop?

lets be seriouse here lol.

things like floor mats, spare tyre( held in with bolts, and passed adr crash tests..) fine. no major oil leaks and nothing baulky loose in the cabin. thats about it. just common sence.

suction cuped electronics are allowed. your waring a helmet so what can it do to you......lets not be assholes like a phillip island..

its not a full on cams target scrutineering sesson peeps.

its turn up, get all the loose shit out of the car, on with your helmet and away you go. if we are going to be full on captain cams, (confederation against motor sport) then all the items i listed above need to be implemented, and some. or its just a half assed crock.. lol :)

lets just be realistic here.. cheeres ;)

So not funny Dave... Lol.. I'll give you V8 scrutineering if you want!!!!

I'll even make you drain the whole car even through the lines, weigh it then fill it back up and weigh it again!

Then make you assemble the engine in front of me, measure it then you can put it back together. Then i'll measure the car bases, the axles & everything else. I'll even do some full testing in the back of my ute. Want me to go on? :(

Then I will Fail you.

LMFAO.

You'ed be suprised what people leave in the car.

Maybe if we needed a grade 1 scruitneer any of that would be neccessary...

It's all just common sense with scruiteneering even the supersprints are pretty easy going but firm and isnt this suppose to be about fun :(

Do we really need to get this over the top about a "driver training day"!

It's the same scrutineering we used the year before. This is a private track I'm sure they don't want to have to clean bits of your cars off the circuit. Everyone needs to understand that we are looking out for everyones safety not just the car we are scrutineering. Last year there were no problems so I think everyone should be fine.

ahh I really don't think holding a camera is a good idea myself, you would be surprised how its the last thing you remember to hold onto if you hit something solid, rollover etc. you tend to be grabbing for solid bits of car to hold on to instead.

look scruitineering is just about keeping safe on the track, obviously its not at the same level that Dave posted above, but neither do we want cars on the track like that idiot who got pulled up doing 180 with a battery with no bracket on it. There is a happy medium in between.

See y'all there bright and early tomorrow.....forecast looks pretty good for Goulburn at this time of year....just bring a good jacket! (or buy an sau one on the day)

Forecast for Saturday

Isolated early showers clearing to a fine day. Southwest winds.

Goulburn : Becoming fine. Min: 4 Max: 13

      NC MX5

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
