Because it is being run as a super sprint (timing) / track day RENUW have used SOME rules from a standard type of super sprint reg sort of ? ! .

SAU track days will be back to normal after this little comp, and will be more focused on driver training and taking a mate for a spin, as pointed out there are lots of clubs to do sprints and/or door to door style of racing, SAU is more about having fun in a low risk enviroment with mates where you can go as fast as you like (as long as your speed matches your ability).

Still for a small outlay you can have piece of mind that if your car, someone elses car or if your mates hair catches on fire you can put it / him / her out and save your s hit from burning to the ground.

$20 could save so much.

I have 1.5kg in the car, .900kg in the kitchen, 2kg in the garage, you may say overkill, I say my sh it wont burn down.

:cheers:

Texi requires a fire extinguisher too and is done at much slower speeds. I'll be there as a renew entrant.

My opinion is the whole tyre thing should be binned, either that or run to CAMS regs for competitors.

Put me in SVD.

THESE ARE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS.

My opinion is if you want "competition" go to Eastern Creek on a weekend, if you want to have fun or improve your driving ability dont worry about the "competition" just fill out the entry form and fax it now!

Sure, 595RS-R have a tread wear of 160 that puts them easily into street class. You don't need to meet all the requirements of club class to be in club class, only one or more.

Though the guy that wants to run in street class and then change to slicks half way through might have issues and be placed in the open class for all his sessions.

My question is the FZ201's do not have a tread wear indicator number "UTQC" so can I still run them in street class? It's clearly not under 120, it doesn't exist :)

And despite some peoples views I actually like the way the rules are clearly structured, despite it not favouring my car. They are very easy to follow and judge. And If you don't want to be a part of it, then you don't have to be. Big thumbs up to Renew and SAU for trying this.

Its more so that i don’t turn with something that they won’t let in any category. Aiming for club but if not I’ll pop in to open, the tyres are just a bit old :rolleyes:

And faxed :thumbsup:

James you do get the idea don't you? If ANY of your car exceeds the requirements of street class then you are either in club or open. If you exceed any items of club class then you are in open class.

With no interior, you don't meet street class (as you pointed out), so you can use either Street class (federal 595RS-R) or club class tyres. No slicks.

Near every car is eligible for open class unless it is an open wheeler.

open class doing 1.12's will be not worth it - haha but I gotta get used to slicks so would be a good chance!

and Mark - I'll be giving you bad tips hahaha

How does the point score work ?

Im just trying to work out how someone in the same group as me, who was slower than me, has more points than me ?

Actually everyone has more points as I scored "0"

Was it because I only did 3 laps due to mechanical issues ?

I looked at the natsoft to compare groups and times, would someone please post how the scoring is done as its doesnt look like its on times alone.

Thanks Mark.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
