The classes do suck a fair bit of wang. Just about every other sprint series has recognized that 4wd cars have a distinct advantage over the rest of us and have put them in their own class. I'm going to enter my street/daily driver in the over 3L Improved Production class and, just see how many GTR's, Evils and WRX cheat machines fall behind! I'm guessing not many :)

I was going to try to roughly explain the categories, but its all too hard. short answer is slicks will put you in Sport Sedans with spaceframed, all but mid engined 1125kg 750bhp 6l Chev powered things with big wings and slicks. :laugh:

put semis on and they MAY let you in Improved Production depending on how strict they're going to be with the IPRA rules for things like turbo restrictors. Call the organisers.

a well driven EVO will be very quick around there mate. And there shouldn't be any real serious Sport Sedans anyway. Its only a SuperSprint. Don't pay too much attention to my anti-CAMS rants...

not so sure I'll be entering, i destroyed one of my slicks yesterday and the budget was goign to be pretty tight to get to this event as it was. but definitely in for beers :laugh:

I still don't have all my bits for the Skyline's new engine. Berry wants to bring the 32 out as well, but we're unsure on what class it fits into either?

as soon as I hear talk of turbo restritors and IPRA rules and the usual associated tummy piclet (sp?) officials, my eyes glaze over and I lose interest..... you aren't going anyway Harry?

call them, the Warwick Car Club are normally very sensible about applying the rules a bit more liberally. TC will tell you which class to enter. I think there was a number on the entry forms? Sport Sedans is probably where most imports will end end up anyway!

The Southerner's Type 1-5 class system would have been ALOT better!

I agree on the classes - us southerns finally got something right hehe

Eitherway - go sports sedans class and have fun! its not like its door to door racing with them!

hmmmm 3rd national supersprint, 3rd set of regs. If they would actually stick to the CAMS classes I would be happy....but production cars are not on the list.

the only issue with the cams classes is improved production requiring a restrictor....I think that will be histroy within a year or 3 but right now it stops any but the most committed/mad people entering ipra.

anyway...I'll be there! Just a shame there is no comparable class to defend the title in :happy:

I don't know any one in the sprints up here in the IP class that run a restrictor. I sure as hell don't. Would be nice to see a registered class too i think

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
