Just to stick in my two cents on cages. Normally the wording you see is that cages if fitted must comply with CAMS specifications. The only way to say that a cage was CAMS "Approved" would be to have the car log booked for competition with the cage in it.

Essentially most cars in most events are not required to have a cage but if you have a cage fitted it should comply with CAMS specs (Which pretty well mirror FIA specs) regardless of if your car must have one for the event you are doing or not.

Saves a few of the beauties I have seen, like a Torana with a cut down trampoline frame inside it. I am not kidding! Another I have seen has the main hoop in front of the drivers head!

well if thats what people are doing then its a good thing they enforce it..

i was thinking of the older bolt in alloy cages when i mentioned non approved cages...

thinking that having one of those has gotta be better than nothing at all

but blue's post has shown that theres good reason for the rule..

You would probably have trouble with an alloy cage as they are simply not allowed any more. Basically the only cars allowed to run them are cars that were log booked with the alloy one in them and you would have to be able to produce the log book to prove it. I think it was in the late 90's when they banned them.

OK, I have my CAMS! Confirmed my event entry!

Did a full service & run through on the car!

Got my helmet, fire extinguisher, bonnet latch, etc!

READY TO ROCK!

Very excited!

Slight concern with oil pressure but putting it down to false reading from factory guage.

So there's 57 confirmed entrants so far.

10 skylines, 12 BMW's, 8 EVO's, 1 commodore, 1 Lambo, 1 911 and of course a heap of Subbi's!

Sounds like fun to me.

Can't wait to actually meet some of you forum people too!

You'd have to look at the cams manual to be sure.

Prob will be fine though coz I know that there are other guys running jap bolt ins.

brad the car just wont be ready. i got the turbos and all that back together but now i got an epic miss under boost, idles and drives great but as soon as we get around .7/.8 bar it all turns to shit. i've gapped the plugs down to 0.65-0.7 but now i got the zorst off again cos i need to chop out half the useless bracing underneath to fit jacks exhaust... bottom line is its best it goes on the dyno before i abuse it for a day and they're just flat chat this week.

just playin it safe.

Which raises the question....what car? smile.gif

some crappy s14 i think.. hahaha j/k

    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
