depends on the event - at multi-club hillclimbs up here they definitely enforce restrictors in IP. Out at Stanthorpe (Carnell) they don't care if the car is IP eligible, let alone whether it has a restrictor or not. So it varies alot. It all depends on how seriously they take themselves. It is supposed to be a National Chamionship Supersprint...

There's potential for properly IPRA legal cars not being too happy about running against illegal cars... I'm just saying if they're going to let turbo cars in IPRA without restrictors, they should have mentioned that in the Supp Regs. That way people with those cars will know and be able to enter that class, and other competitors will know in advance too and not be pissed off come race day... Its happened to me at an ordinary multi-club hillclimb at Grafton a few years ago in my Datto. Its almost bound to happen at the "Australian Supersprint Championship" that some douchebag will take it all too seriously.

Would be nice if CAMS had a national set of rules for their national championship.

totally agree there will be people taking it too seriously....nature of this sort of event.

but they do have a national rule book - it is just that the 3 organising clubs in 3 years have all ignored it and done their own thing. Really does not help and it plays into AASA and Irace's "do anything you like" approach. If CAMS point of difference is clear and well enforced rules they are not doing it very well (their only other points of difference are expensive permits/licenses and difficult officals :) )

^^ I couldn't have said it better myself Duncan!

They need to consistently enforce the rules and make it across the board nationally.

That or changes the rules/classes to meet the growing number of turbo imports wanting to compete in these events.

I have no doubt IPRA rules will change in the next few years to be more turbo friendly in the next few years....they are even worse than sports sedans. None of which helps this event

did anyone end up calling about the classes? If not, I might give TC a call tonight and sus out how strict they're going to be on complying with CAMS category regs. Things like:

- Improved Production - turbo restrictors, max rim width, non steel panels (eg CF/FRP bonnets), gaurd mods, wing dimensions/height

- what category a 180SX would be in - technically not eligible for IPRA or 2B/2F sports cars...

- if there will be any dramas with non-complying Jap bolt-in cages for road registered cars

if anyone else has anything to add to the list of questions, speak up

im keen but also confused as hell by all these crazy cams rules.

so freakin complicated and the sheer amount of paperwork needed is stupid.

is there a cams office in brisbane? where you can go to sort all this out or do i need to send smoke signals to warwick via snail mail and cheques

its starting to look easier/cheaper/less hassle to go AASA topgear racing/irace at this point...

Irace is definitely the go, I rang Bill last week, he has got our entries - we are in? - don't know what class, we have sent them a copy of the National Supersprint Rules - apparently to date they have dropped the standing start, but to date have not heard on classes.

They did appologise as they have there state supersrpint this weekend and hillclimb next - so therefore no doubt it is a busy club. We did also question this is also a national event and would appreciate entries / classes - sorted asap.

Bill and event secretaries numbers are same, same - you'll get Bill - personally I think everyone entered may have to take a copy of

2010 Australian Supersprint Championship

Sporting Regulations from CAMs website with them - attached

hmmm, I called earlier and spoke to Bill. I asked him what class a 180SX should be in, as by-the-book its not eligible for either IPRA or 2B/2F, he said "it would probably end up in sports cars". After that we got sidetracked on that topic and I forgot to ask about how strictly IPRA regs would be enforced... doh...

I'm sending an entry in anyway, so I'll see you guys there :thumbsup:

Cal, its not that hard to get a money order or a CAMS licence. Do it! It will be fun to have a run on a different track.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
