If you have ex gate, you will not pass. Straight through exhaust will be pushing it, side exit exhaust will fail.

Normal cat'les exhaust with a cannon will pass easy.

Roy got done at the last sandown, as did a tier 3 V8 Supercar.

Are you 100% sure external gate wont pass? :( doesn't brisby have ext gate?

Ahh so Troy did get in trouble at the Sandown day. Hmmm... I think plumb back is the safest option

Should I be bringing some new front pads for this? havn't changed them since I got the car lol.. Dont want to go into a wall at 250k's

Sorry Leigh. Not trying to be a dick but you need to do some reading in the motorsport section and other parts of SAU and also the net about racing.

You have a boat of a car (all GTR's are) and your brakes have to be in good condition. Get some good pads and fluid as a minimum and I suggest having spares of both. I used to have spare rotors with me too!!!

I'd hate to see you smash an expensive car.

There is a lot to learn so get some research into ya!!! :)

Just a sticker on your car showing where the battery is. For WRX sprints it's only required if your battery is NOT in the front under the bonnet.

That rule is only for the default car of the club running the day...ie a WRX. All other cars require a battery tri-angle.

Blue piece of contact from the news agent, cut up is easy enough. Stick it on the body pointing to the battery.

Do you know what pads are in there? How much meat is left on em? While what Russ says is true. Youre just starting out and wont be piling the speed and deceleration on as much as we do. So you may not go through the set, but OEM like pads don't cut it at Sandown. I scared myself shizles the first time I went there on lucas pads. Those kind of pad go from, sponge to nothing. So you get sponge coming onto the main straight, then nothing into turn one...

I can help you on Saturday swap the pads and bleed RBF600 into the lines if you like. The alternative is to do two laps with the current setup, cool down for two then go for another one then come in.

A1RM's as a minimum with Motul / Martini Racing RBF600 fluid.

I was going through 2/3rd of a set of an A1RM at each Sandown Track Day when I got confident.

No, it applies to all cars entered on the day, not only WRXes. I will have one anyway because the Alfa club supp regs require it.

lol fair enough... my comments are simply based on my experience, and what the supp regs say. If it's not on the scrut sheet they wont check it. I will have one for this round regardless because it's in the supp regs for the alfa club event this weeekend. :thumbsup:

That triangle thing has changed. It used to be if it's non-WRX or anywhere non standard on WRX's needed triangle.

Also...

c) All vehicles must use two separate fasteners on any front opening panel

Everytime I've been to WRX days they say that standard isn't enough. They say it needs to be 2 'separate systems'.

Not sure if you have the cable trick John or if you just have standard 2 motion latch?

I've seen standard latche fail on a 33. I recommend the extra cable or pins.

I have an extra cable with a climbing shackle.

But you can also still read that either way. The standard unit has two separate fasteners, they are not 'mounted' separately. But they are different devices.

I keep an extra bonnet strap in my bag just in case. It's still not clear to me if it's required based on sup regs (whether or not secondary factory latch qualifies as 2 bonnet restraint systems), but definitely a good idea to have if you don't have bonnet pins fitted. You don't want your bonnet flying up at 200+ km/h!

    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
