Well may be they look at things differently in SA tho rules can be interpreted in many ways.

It is obvious that the rear X member is part of the suspension.
So is the moustache brace.
The whole unit is designed to move & flex.
Nissans passive hicas.

A bit of intelligence is thus being applied by officials in SA.

So we have had a car run in SARC & ARC events with no problems.

Also approval has been given for group NC 16s.

your reference to "I could build a 2140cc grunter and compete in under 2L"
is a definate flaunt of "the rules"

Other grey areas can be challenged.
Common sence needs to prevail.

Howdy all. :D

Attached is a shot taken recently of the Gibson prepared Nissan DR30 taken at the 2010 Phillip Island Classic. Interesting mods to the rear end.

It is a good question. I have the answer:
Because he can!!!
Don't get me wrong, If I was going to do that to a car it would be to something different, but it's his car afterall!!!

.......... 'because the COG of the cars that he usually deals with is higher at the rear than at the front'. ?????? What is that about G, a car has only one center of gravity and that is determined solely by the location and weight of its various components. Sounds like you are talking about front/rear weight distribution and/or roll centers, not centers of gravity.
I meant to say mass centroid axis... my bad.

Yes you are bad D :)

Originally I put this topic up because every 1600 I see on the circuit handles sh*t, well not as good as they should anyway. I really have little personal interest in your average 1600 but a big interest in serious circuit Dattos of all sorts, particularly those with semi trailing arm rear suspension. Seems to be a bit like aero improvements on early (S30) Zeds, concentrate on the engine and if I get beaten he had a more powerful engine, better tyres, whatever :blahblah:
