3d Sports Sedans

[Merli]

Well if they're going to force you to run standard boost, there's a good excuse for spending $$$$ on top notch headwork

Oh.... and that RB30 conversion

[Beer Baron]

in NSW sprints GTRs are most often run in SV-D. sports sedan GTR would be 4D. hth.

but technically they can run in 1,2 or 3 as they were sold here by nissan. funny you can run a 32 GTR in 1,2 or 3 (depending on mods etc). but a GTST is SVD. S13 silvia = SV. S14 silvia? 1,2 or 3.

Yeah it's a little ridiculous!

There's definitely an advantage running an Australian delivered Nissan model and keeping it road registered as the freedom for modifications are greater.

Especially turbo models.

For example, type/class 3D - a road registered R32 GTR you can go to town on the mods, T51R turbo, Motec ECU, full house everything. Run 600+HP with semi slicks, coilovers, big brakes and take out the top prize.

Where as a track only unregistered R32 GTR needs to be CAMS log booked, and can enter type/class 3D if it complies with improved production rules, i.e. turbo restrictor.

End of the day, it's just a supersprint but some cars fit the rules better and have advantages over others.

Yeah my race car (3E circuit) fits into 2D supersprint rules because the model was aussie delivered and it is registered. I think it would cause a stir if I entered it though....

SV class is a particular hate of mine, if you look at many events 1/3-1/2 the entrants are in SV, all to protect the older/slower cars in the regular classes. its a joke.

Andrew the supersprint and hillclimb rules in NSW are specific to NSW, and are not on the interweb afaik. you need to call CAMS state office for a copy

yep, they used to try and force anything jap and quick to run in SV which is BS. as you suggest it's to protect all the old alfas, commodores etc that race in types 1, 2 and 3. and then you turn up in say a stock-ish S13 expecting to run in type 2 only to be put in SV with kit cars, purpose built race cars etc. stupid.

I say lets make a Jap only series.

Divide it up into different categories like:

Turbo AWD = GTRs, WRX's, EVO's, GTO's and the like

Turbo RWD = GTST's, Silvias, Supra

NA RWD = AE86, non turbo Skylines, Silvias

NA FWD = FTOs, Integras, Celica, Civics

etc...

There's plenty of cars out there to fit each category. It would be cool, no bloody Alfa's, MG's and Toranas!!!!

You could even go further and break up into engine capacity 1601-2000cc, 2001-3000cc

Lucky my GTR is road registered then

Class 2D it is

done! they call it superlap. they even ban cars that aren't made in jp like porsche or lotus to make sure gtrs or evos win

andrew....if you dont have factory turbos and intake you are not in 2d. if you dont run a restrictor you are in 4d.
