The plot thinens.

I like to support MS in VIC, but the continued reg changes and now a 'street' class where you can run r-compound tyres...I fully realise you cannot accommodate all. But that is a real disappointment.

What know distinguishes 'Street' from 'Pro' ?!?!?

'Street Legal Tyres' include any DOT approved tyre basically and 'Pro' is free except slicks, so the same tyres as 'Street'?!?!

Also the suspension mounting points, aero, weight reduction etc etc.

Why have 'Street' and 'Pro' if there is no clear distinction?!?

Aye indeed my friend, if R-comps are allowed in "street" class, IMO that essentially ruins the essences of it!

Hence the 140 UTQG was a sensible limit to keep it to high performance street tyres only.

But ye, will find out more and update when i have the answers.

We went through this tyre stuff before in sa and basically had similar problems. Not only that there seems to be no restrictions on tyre size either... I did some testing for bridgestone at the release of the adrenaline and on an mx5 they were as fast as a re55 from a few years before. It really makes the tyre ruling very hard to policebut if there is a clear rule then obviously if chosen we can buy tyres to suit the class... After all no point in coming second;)

While the latest batch of sticky road tyres 140/180 UTQG things, maybe closer then ever to the r-compound 'semi-slicks'. There is a marked performance difference and price difference.

Sprint events / time attack don't generally have restrictions on tyre size. As generally the manufactures of '90's JDM cars under tyred the cars to an extreme. Try running around on 215's in a 1400kg street GTST with >200rwkw.

hahaha whilst amusing, I'm not sure everyone's friends @ CAMS would think the same.

I would suspect there are going to be more tyre revisions and even PRO/Street class restrictions altered...

Hold tight people!

Also the suspension mounting points, aero, weight reduction etc etc.

Why have 'Street' and 'Pro' if there is no clear distinction?!?

Aero is free as long as its safe, weight reduction is free

Why have 'Street' and 'Pro' if there is noclear distinction?!?-Street is for street registered cars, Pro allows none registered vehicles toenter the competition.

Rego doesn't mean much in this form of motorsport. When street rego'd cars are doing <34 at Winton...

Typical of everyone - heaps of last min entries came in... And the tyres are now in question again (read below)

Will go through it all later in the week, i have no ideas who is "who" so to speak haha, just going on the merits and the plan to win :)

sent you a emails with pics and details 3weeks ago you tool

Have you bothered to read this thread, at all?

I've clearly stated once the Regs are worked out, the team will be formed and then announced. There have been a lot of entries and it's not a case of first in, best dressed.

Hell the first post has this in it:

Not everyone will be allowed to enter due to the limited numbers, if you entry is approved it will appear here in this Official Thread. Obviously we are looking to win, or at the least place very well. We must select the best and hope you all support the call that needs to be made.

Didn't think it was that hard to comprehend to be honest :huh:

tyres back to a treadwear of 120... wonder if that will change again....

Did you read that in the Regs dude?

I cannot find it and it looks to be the same as last week where the 120 was removed?

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
