well the 400r is probably out, as they are re-released tunere cars. I think Nismo is classed as Nissan, as your allowed to use the Nismo catalouge from the cars eara as option parts. But R32 - R33's N1's are safe, there was over 200 made of each of them.

Haha - yep.

But then TW was selling his car, Deano will just drive whatever (not sure how his EMO is after the crash in W.A anyways?), Greg doesn't play anymore and the Mazda's aren't effected. So really I know Scott/Chris will be pissed but I'm not too sure how many others it will bother. But overall its a good thing for the category I reckon.

M7. Modern Vehicle List - is relating to Modern Competition only, some Early Modern cars are still on the Modern list, but will removed in due course.

I have heard it said that Early Modern cars like 400R, Z Tune and ATTKD aren't really much of a departure from what was being done to those cars when they were at the front of the Modern Competition in years gone by... :banana:

Right - so that means the ATTKD and 400R are still good to go for EMod Stu?

I notice neither Lambo is currently listed on the THC entry list. As far as I know YT is still planning on doing the event (he's supposed to be bringing me something on his way to recce this week!) - is that just because they need to re-think their car structures or are they out now?

I'm liking the sound of this:

926 Paul Summers Michael Arnold 2010 Dodge Viper ACR

Fresh from Targa West Dodge Viper ACR

I had better speak to Newton...Looks like he's considering another nav :banana:

heheh

The 2 big ones for us are 3.5" exhausts and upper control arms are now ok.

It's hard to fully understand the special vehicles rules. Does it mean Whtey will have to undo his 200K upgrade and go back to a manual gearbox? The type R was just as fictional as the Super Alphabet.

I'm pretty sure the ATTK'D GTR is cactus - but not sure where the 400R/Z Tune stands under the regs.

Are the Skelta's road registerable in Oz to pass the local 10 car rule? But we can def see the rule to permit the RX8SP - which I'm ok with as Mazda do help support the events.

Oh - and I love the changes to the Showroom Class. I can see it really taking off now that 4WD cars are out and the limit raised to $100K .

Madza 3 v MX5 v 370Z v XR6T x HSV GTS v BMW 135i v Audi TT v Lotus Elise v VW GTI. I'm sure there is more decent options.

Sounds a lot more interesting than EVO v EVO v EVO v EVO......

thats good news because it will make showroom worth watching. and bring in some of the modern cars that have no hope at winning out right. good change i say.

Pretty sure Yt isn't running due to the double hernia operation he had 2 week's ago...given that he done TWP, Mt Buller and Targa

all against doctor's order's, he probley shouldn't..

Well just spoke to John and he said Jason is still coming on the boat tonight!

But I see that there is now a little sub note on the entrants list of people who haven't yet been accepted.

They include the Lambo's, Skelta's and PMS25 WRX's.

And also a couple of R33 GTR boys - anyone from here on that list?

BUT - they have accepted the NISMO 370Z so I guess that answers the 400R question.

And also a couple of R33 GTR boys - anyone from here on that list?

Yeah i'm on that list at the moment and spoke to Helen @ Octagon just before. Apparently when dad submitted our application he did not specify the diameter of the exhaust so it was held in the selection.. So hopefully now it should all be cleared up :S

Oh and looks like i'll have to get a new muffler/rear section of the exhaust as it is 92mm :P , Anyone know if the diameter of the tip counts or just all downstream pipes up to the rear muffler?

I'm confused Snowy,,,why would you be happy with the SP being legal. Three cars made (well maybe 4 after TT) locally by Mazda Australia's motorsport arm to me sounds like favourtism. Shit a brick,,,they had more techs working on one car than they have produced!!!.

Cheers

No experience with them personally, but it's run by a few people "in the scene", so would likely be worth it.

Yes, Steve Glenney is one of the instructors, spoke to Mick who is running the show and it sounds good. I think I'll be doing it. Here is link for outline of the day

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
