Sorry for some reason I thought it had the large holes drilled directly beneath the grill like they like to do in the UK. But there is a clear photo in this thread! Missed that sorry.
Great news on IP spec. The value and benefit of not having to run sports sedan will be well worth it. Don't stress about the radiator support panel as you say no one will pick you up on it unless you run toward the front.
The rules actually allow for quite a bit of re-engineering that you enjoy and as you say as long as the mods aren't 'permanent' it will be fine.
Looks like a great project - keep the photos coming.
Yes the clutch is a bit of a concern. Has new plates so Ill give it a go I can always replace them as engine out and back in is about a days work . Im building for very fast track. Might even go slicks and dry sump eventually. I want to 6 link it which will preclude current improved production regs. and logbook. U2L sports sedans and non turbo. Maybe if the business does well Ill go 300HP N/A Duratec in a Mk 2. But then again a GTR motor in a 240Z would be nice or I might get get smart and build a modern car with no rust and parts that are readily available.
Cheers guys more photos to follow when stuff gets done.
Yes I know! Though the local guys just advised me cages to strut tops might be Ok under new rules might be SA, might be all of OZ, and I trust them. As mentioned above IP is no longer a goal for this car, going faster is.
4.1 Safety cage structures: Safety cage structures must comply with Schedule J (refer General Requirements for Cars and Drivers). It is not permitted to fit additional bracing other than a strut tower brace as described in Article 9.7. It is permitted to attach parts of the safety cage either by welding or bolting. The removal of the minimum amount of material to assist the fitment of the safety cage members is permitted.
Crusey & ozstang65 Having a look on the cams website tonight; http://docs.cams.com.au/Manual/Race/RA29_Group_3J.pdf page 9 section 14 has significant strike throughs indicating a relaxation, change to the rule governing ROPS and passenger compartment as suggested above.
There's a few changes in there since I last looked! Good to know about the roll cage rules. Fuel tank now demands FIA approved bladder style which sounds like a more expensive option, especially if you're not racing.
I believe the FIA bladder rule only applies if the general location of the fuel tank changes - say from inside the boot area to outside such as a drop tank, or vice versa. That is how many others interpret that particular rule.
Yep that was the point of my post - the roll cage rules have changed. Not so much relaxed more brought in line with CAMS schedule J. Schedule J allows the cage through to the strut tops. Now I wish they would finally put a close date on running alloy cages.

All glass out, all wiring removed from cabin, oh and the seat rails and side intrusion bars from the cage cut out! Never liked the cages side bars as they prevented the seat getting low enough. Well I cant see the bonnet and Im 6+ foot but I could go 50mm lower. What was good to see was I did get penetration in the welds... Looks like I should be able to clean most of the old welds and remaining stubs up pretty easily before the new lower bars go in. Looks like I was going to have to get the cage redone anyway due to the new regulations. Bought a sandblaster so going to strip the interior, engine bay and underside again! have ordered new front floors and mounting rails so they are getting done too.
