The NSSA (national sports sedan assosiation) has a "heavy metal" sports sedan category.

At the bottom there is a link to the additional restrictions applied to the category.

Ive already put forward to have post 1995 models added. R33 & R34 obviously. Opens up the door to some S14 & S15 cars as well. Unfortunatly the R32 misses out but I have asked the question if the year could possibly be moved to 1994 to allow them to run as there'd be a number of cars who'd be interested id imagine.

It allows modified skylines to race with a much more relaxed rule set. Besides coachwork which is being kept restricted and chassis modifications.

Also planning to put the question to the NSW state sports sedan guys to see if they are planning to open up a sub category like they did for the "trucks" and comodore entrants.

If guys with R32's are interested please post in here and ill link this in an email to the NSSA to show there is interest from R32 owners (I think they'd agree cars on grids is more important than year of manufacture)

Last known r32 GTST would be the m spec 1993models.

Might ask for 1993 instead. It's only that the model had to be manufactured up till the date. I do t think it matters of your actual car is an 89model??

Ryan it actually suits r33's like yours that are not prod cars but aren't really fast enough to be a sports sedan.

Hehe I miss read it and thought that you said gtst's arnt allowed.

Yer Brad I am stoked this will give my car a home.

It said I can not modify my guards over than liping them but it did not say I can't change the fronts to gtr ones. I am assuming wider fiber glass guards wound be a no no on the front.

Thanks for the info Brad.

yeah defintiely try and get it changed from post 1995 to post Jan 1993. look at all the skylines on race tracks and then realise that of the serious, regular competitors I reckon at least 80% are R32 GTRs. look at IP, combined touring, even WTAC etc. R32 GTR race cars out number the rest by a massive margin. Even at WTAC there was 2 R34s I know of (1 in Pro 1 in Open) only one or two R33 and probably a dozen ore more R32s. actually I just checked. at WTAC there was 25 skylines entered (inc GTSTs and R35s) our of 100 cars. that's one in 4 cars was a skyline of some sort. about half were R32s, next most popular was the R35s and then only one or 2 each of R33 and R34.

also, given these cars are to retain mostly factory coachwork (and the very name is HEAVY metal) then I think they need to bump up the min weights to give guys a chance of actually making minimum weight. as it stands most skylines with mostly factory bodywork and with cages, dry sump etc will be way over min weight for those capacity classes.

I don't think their idea is attract time attack competiors.

More to lewer people like Duncan and big pete out of prod cars and into something that allows them to modify the engines and suspension alot more freely.

They don't need massive body mods they simply need more power. As a prod car duncan's (besides his engines) is the most sorted I've seen a relatively mild Gtr.

Give it another 150kw and it would be a screamer. These heavy metal rules allow him to do that and still race a championship.

I see it as more of an ipra category without the restrictors to a degree......

I do agree about the weight limitations. They are a tad optimistic for any vehicle with factory body let alone skylines.

A lot of the skylines I'm familiar with at time attack/sprints wont qualify because of the limit to body/guaard mods.

That's fine with me! :)

I purchased everything to turn mine into a crazy wide tyred thing, but pulled the pin on that idea, because then it was effectively ruined for tarmac rallies and now, THIS type of racing :)

Your dreaming of you think you could build an r33 GTST to these rules and get it under 1250kg's with a gen3 and a cage.

You can't go cutting the body shell up and fitting light weight panels.

Your car weighs 1360kg's now with nothing in it and no cage......

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
