do we need this to compete ? my car continues to run after the battery is disconnected ... and its a petrol.thunder wrote:I know a lot of cars dont have this... i only got mine done last year..
something to think about..
A battery mechanical isolation switch for the battery that provides power to the engine, ignition and fuel pump shall be securely mounted within easy reach of each member of the Crew and this switch may isolate the negative terminal.

Mate, mines a petrol too..... Isolator still kills the motor....

I thought the rule said it had to be where both driver and navi can get to it.thunder wrote:Its in the rules that i read when they came out..
mine is located on the tray head board but some mates have it on there bullbar..
I also thought it's to stop anything sparking if your on a weird angle with fluids pouring out, not just to stop the motor.

the rules as foun in the suplementry regs on the website state
On a petrol engine that does not shif off when the negative terminal is isolated then you can break into the coil pack circuit, in the cas of a deisel engine then you can break into the fuel cut off solonoid
For any further clarification please PM Wayne (16em) or email via the website
This means the isolator must be able to be activated by both members of the crew while in a normal seated position in the vehicle. The isolator should kill power to the engine as well as all electrics as whle the engine is running the alternator is still supplying power and fule etc is still being pumped.A battery mechanical isolation switch for the battery that provides power to the engine, ignition and fuel pump shall be securely mounted within easy reach of each member of the Crew and this switch may isolate the negative terminal

If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
We have raised this issue with the CCDA and are waiting a reply
The likely outcome would be that the isolator does both, electrically isolates the vehicle and kills the engine.

Harnesses
If you are "updating the rules as we speak" this doesnt give drivers much time to apply a change they know nothing about when committing a team to this event.
For those that have vehicles without harnesses they now have 3 and a bit weeks which seems unreasonable.
Could this fit into the category of items that may gain an exemption until round 2 ?
Cheers

i cant find an engineer to do ticket for 37 inch tyres on a gq i was told to do 35s will require a brake testing session at additional cost and will chew my tyres up doing the testing , also i was told recentley racing harnesses and roll cages are illegal in a registered vehicle, any info regarding these matters will be appreciated . The extra cost of harnesses and bucket seats is gunna keep a few of out of first round !
4 in king springs, pro comp long travels, gu diffs, 4.6s ,front lokka,35" mtzs, custom made everything ,custom dual cab and a growing list of spare parts
You dont need your tyres enginered.. i already asked the organisers when i was out there..
But harnesses.Can never be passed for on road use therefore for off road use only too.
And my kill switch will remain on the tray that can have access from my navie if i pass out. That is part of the reason it is outside the car. inside the car the driver has the key to shut it down..
imagine if a driver did knock himself out..
A bit hard to get thru the door and net.. easy to kill it from outside.

Just to clarify the seat belt / 4 point harness rule.
Class B events are required to have as a minimum a lap sash seat belt for competition as defined in Rule 4.1.3
"Vehicles competing in Group B Events shall be fitted with original vehicle seat belts that is not frayed or damaged and all mountings shall be secure in accordance with the original vehicle specifications.
Vehicles competing in Group C Events shall be fitted with four point racing harness for all occupants fitted in addition to the original vehicle seat belts with harness belting that is not frayed or damaged and all mountings shall be secure in accordance with the original vehicle specifications."
Rule defined in section 3.6.1 are misleading and will be amending accordingly
Sorry for any confusion caused

Dear All
Reading many of the posts it appear there is a great deal of confusion over what is / is not required for this comp.
Post Discussion with the Masters management team I think it is better for you all to think of the comp as a single day Willowglen as far as vehicle requuirements and the type of diving / risk.
The CCDA and the Masters team will work to make this happen. As the Sanctioning body behind Willowglen and Tuff truck in NSW I am sure we can allow current best practice from Willowglen to be followed in this competition.

Ginger in not a color it is a state of mind!
If the 4x4 masters officials follow Pauls comments regarding Willowglen each competing car will need harnesses for driver and Nav. We only insist on a cage for soft Top or no top vehicles. They also have to cover the top of the cage (above the driver and nav) with either 2mm mild steel sheet or 3mm alluminium.
I believe that these should be the min requirements.
The Cage and Harness rule has always been in the CCDA rules.
I understand where the confusion has occured from the above posts but guys if you have a competing truck in any comp this day and age the min reqs should be a good cage, a good pair of harnesses, window nets and aus standard helmets.
