RBN1

Agreed. OEM one is pretty good. Finding one that isn't shagged is another thing I'll take a geezer. I rather like that Sparco one as it does feel great to use. Like I said, I have been quietly getting work done on a replacement......hopefully some sneeky pics soon!

Thanks mate You'll be very happy with RPM. They have been fantastic to deal with and i've been very impressed with their level of knowledge of these cars and workmanship (and time management!). Surprised it's taken till now for someone to mention those buttons. I bought the Sparco R353 steering wheel shortly before the car arrived in 2004. Realised afterwards that it doesn't come with a horn! Doh! That's the Sparco dual horn kit. Was considering replacing that setup as it doesn't suit the car anymore. Was thinking a Sparco R383 or similar but that'll make it the third Sparco steering wheel. Seeing as they're not cheap I thought I'd just hold for a while Oh and there is a possible replacement I've been getting work done on for a while so I'll post that up later

Too true, Ant! Nice, how good are their parts? Was considering requesting the carbon seat covers for my birthday later in the year

Love Superior Auto Creative stuff. Gets a bit addictive. Also that pesky run in the carbon wrap has since been fixed. Now, off to watch the GP coverage before the carnage starts.

Always nice getting stuff delivered from The Land Of The Rising Sun Super Auto Creative Carbon Centre Console cover & Gear & Handbrake boots.

Looks like a great base to start off with mate. Personally I think the indicator/headlight combo he has looks great Only thing that bothers me is when people start messing with the tail lights. Wheels look good too, will look good with some 265's on them? They're +22 Offset?

Current state of the interior - The old suede gear and handbrake boots look a bit out of place now that the Sparco seats are gone. Also have to fix the carbon wrap in the passenger pocket that has started to bubble with spray on adhesive. Will also replace the "Carbon" centre console cover. Some parts to arrive before this weekend. Almost done with the interior now. The focus will go to the drivetrain and exterior next. No full re-spray just yet as I've got another year or so of events I want to do.

$5k? Wait till you get a GTR. That number is just a drop in the great GTR maintenance ocean

FYI - I received mine 2 working days after applying & paying for it on-line. You get your CAMS ID number instantly.

Too true. Thanks mate Got the Schroth harness in today. Not too sure if mounting the shoulder belts like this is ok with CAMS/AASA as I recall reading something about them requiring plates welded with eye bolts. Have to check. Fire extinguisher in. These mounts make easy work of the job and the end result looks very neat.

Sure will, mate. Will be a good day at Deca and afterwards! Going to do a Deca then going for a Winton Test N' Tune Day to get some seat time in before I head out for a proper track day. Have to decide what to do tyre wise as the Falken RT615's on the track TE37's, although new tread wise, are now 8 years old! Fine for Deca but that's about it. I've been busy making a few changes for the coming year or so of events........ Rear cage is back in. Although not as good as a full weld-in, it's a whole lot better than a lot of the Cusco ones i've seen. Well braced for a Jap cage & was an absolute bitch to get in, taking me the whole day. Seats full back, surprisingly enough, it clears with room to spare. Big plates underneath to bolt it all in. The Mrs isn't overly fond of the change but down the track I'll most likely pull it out again and head towards the full body restoration path. For the mean time might as well drive and enjoy it for what it was born to do. Events here I come.

Collected some parts over the last few weeks. Time to get back into doing some events - Schroth 4 Point Harness, tow Hook and cool Fire Extinguisher mount from DattoP510. Got the long weekend to work on the car so going to make some big changes to the setup as I've decided to do some events this year.

You have PM

Melbourne>Deca and back

E-mailed forms & paid.

x1 Deluxe Cabin booked. Now to find someone to haul x4 wheels up there for me.

Hey mate! I told Al we should have got your name at least, after you had left. Was great chatting with you too, mate. It's a small world indeed. Yeah would be great to meet you again at the SAU Nats! Bring it on

Hah! Yes we did I now understand why it's called Wild Dog Road. Hmm possibly, man.

Thanks mate. Will do Still so much to do! Went down to Apollo Bay yesterday with an old mate of mine. Covered around 500km's and she ran well all day, even through the unsealed roads we came across accidentally. Got to pretend it was a rally car for a short while. They both got a tad dusty.

Nice. What gear - 3rd? Ditch the cat

Wow and I thought I was up at odd hours on this forum Something to consider (and this has been done to death on here), the only way to truly compare is to have the cars on the same dyno, on the same day, with the same wheel/tyre combo. At the end of the day 350rwkw is awesome on -9's. btw do you have a dyno graph of your final run?- I'm more curious about the boost curve on these turbos as I know my setup was modified to hold more boost so wanted to see what they do on the top end on different setups.

Do tell

No worries, thanks for the tip

Hmmmmm. I'll see how I go with it. I'm planning to replace it with the Hella down the road anyway Thanks for the tip. Is the Wurth double sided tape good for side skirts etc too?
