track day!
Oran Park GP - 1'30.3
Plenty of room for improvement with that best lap involving me missing 3rd gear on the final lead up to the straight. Overall though it was a great day. It's a really nimble car around the track. It was a bit nose heavy with the suspension balance probably a bit off. I was pretty happy with the car's performance overall though!

Its to stop glass going everywhere in the event of a smash
as shaggy said..
its our motorsport body regulations..
any forward facing glass must have covering to stop glass shatter (stones, objects, accidents)
location of the battery must be indicated by a blue triangle (on the bonnet)
fire extinguisher must be securely fitted within reach of the driver
They only apply for Events that count towards series/pointscores and are approved for proper timing by the National Motorsport Regulatory body. Normal track days or private events are not so stringent.

its not road registered yet... but I do have it now in the same city as me waiting for the final paperwork to be signed off...
I'll get some pics of it up soon.

Shiny - is it not a bit suspect that your N1 made basically the same power as your blue VZ-R?
So why do you need to show where the battery is?
a lot of N1s make similar or less power than the regular VZ-Rs
my N1 had been sitting undriven for about 18 months before putting it on the dyno and was completely stock from spark plugs through to intake and exhaust.. It felt extremely restricted.... That.. and some idiot (me) when changing rocker covers missed the fact that the spark plug well seals were missed and the wells were completely filled with oil... There was also oil through a majority of the intake...
After clearing that out it seems to be running much smoother... I'm sure once I have a good look at the car, some good oil and run it a bit more it'll start to open it up a bit more..
