Hey guys, been in contact with scott and Ian to clear up the front splitter rule in open class. Im not sure on the rules for clubsprint and how it affects you guys. Thought I'd post this for all of us as not only were we unsure, it seems many teams have a different interpretation of the rule, Scott helped write the rules and still waiting back from Ian but Scott has responded below with a quick document to try and clear it up. It's not official yet but as the rules currently stand the pictures show what is allowed under current rules by Scott's interpretation.

Scott's response regarding front splitter, cut and pasted.

I spoke with Ian yesterday and sent him an email last night re a few

> changes I think we need to make but as yet haven't documented these for him.

> This rule is one of them.

> I'll put together a quick document now outlining the rule as it currently

> sits and the proposed simple change I'd like to see.

The first two pages show what is currently legal. This is a direct translation of the vehicle profile forward up to a maximum of 150mm. The second page also include allowances for a winglet/canard as part of the splitter plate. I would deem this to also be legal.

Page three shows the result of allowing the 150mm to be measured in any direction. This is currently illegal.

Page 4 shows my proposed change, allowing the splitter to be blended into the winglet section and making it easier to measure and check for all involved. This should make the rule easier for all to understand.

Was driving through Goulburn this morning when I spotted a car on a tow truck....looked closer and saw bits flapping, hammerhead front spoiler, aluminium side skirts....this could only be a superlap car heading to wakie for some testing

not sure who it is, but it looks pretty serious. all c/f and lexen as far as I can see.

That would be the pulse evo

Very weird for me not to be rushed leading up to this event. First time in 4 years I've been going to WTAC relaxed haha!! Can't wait to see you guys run around! Not looking forward to seeing my result from last year get smashed by even more cars haha! I know it's going to be hard watching!

Rushed is a understatement lol

Is good to see the event as a spectator ONCE only my friend :)

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
