+1, what standard is it that was knocked back? CAMS helmet requirements are here: http://www.camsmanua...dule_G_Q111.pdf importantly, it includes the following: 4.8 Moratoriums (a) There is a moratorium on the implementation of any changes to apparel requirements, save for any identified and pressing safety related requirements which may arise or become evident, for non-international events, until 31 December 2012.

cowboy1600, I heard you got a hand job from the queen? wow....website idea! profit!

subsection or sticky in FAQ/DIY would be perfect

good to see it running! don't worry about the brake discs that is perfectly normal (at least in my world lol) re fuel surge....probably if it is a long turn (particularly right) with low fuel level. easiest way to be sure is to try again with a full tank. on good tyres I get surge anywhere under half a tank (standard fuel pump setup). definately worth a surge tank if you are allowed to run one

"race car" = straight line not roundy roundy I guess? w either way, good to see a new skyline competing...all the best on the track

In for an R32 screen, of course. in thre real world visibility is less than ideal at 200 with a fogged up windscreen and wipers that take over 1 sec on the downstroke.... Anyone building a rally or track r32 that does not jump on this is absolutely mad.

Hi mate I was going to go along with the guys I race with, Production Touring Cars NSW, but can't make it now. If you are interested in racing head over and have a chat to them. Should be a good day out, and it's not exactly common for ARDC to give away something for free!

60k + a car + entry + crew (cheif, 3-4 mechanics, cook) + spare car for parts + 3-6 sets of tyres @$2k + fuel +accomodation/food/transport etc. And no guarantee the car won't be destroyed before you get a drive there are plenty of cheap ways to race at bathurst without having your eyes glued to your rear view mirror incase a mosler is coming past. IPRA race in Feb for example. Or rent a ute at the taxi event.

Add sig size limits not working, and edit time restrictions not working. all the little things we've done to keep the place tidy over the years!

and I bought them based on those numbers the other day. would be best to get them from a wreck if you can.

haha it might say that.....but the half moon seals are sitting on top of the plastic bags holding cam cover seals in the first post.

if your car does run this weekend.... BETTER GO CATCH IT!!!!!

my race car has limited klm regular insurance rather than race car insurance. very cheap compared to comprehensive of course since it is shannons/suncorp, god help me if i ever have to claim

yeah the connection between the body loom and engine loom is different between 32 and 33. I assume 34 is different again. But I'm sure it can be sorted.

multi posted threads merged

the only real trick to sway bars....is make sure the car is on level ground when you do it. if not the bar might have load on it and it will be a bastard to change

I can't come up with any other ideas, but I can answer re the A050R. They are consistent from new to medium wear, and drop off slowly. Plenty of testing of this on heavy cars 1800kg commodores up here, and the guys are very happy with them, including racing up to an hour straight (a lot longer than any targa stage). I'm not happy with their 600 a tyre price tho. Very different to the previous A048R which did indeed drop off significantly between brand new and medium wear - in the order of seconds a lap. Not to say your problem could not be tyres though...depends how old they are, how they were stored, how they were heat cycled when new etc etc. Also, if you are testing the impact of colour on performance, maybe paint it yellow/purple/silver and find out if it becomes cursed. Either rolls down hills or blows up motor depending on the order of the colours.

hmm I can't see how silicon will hold if metal didn't but hey it's worth trying I guess

it is normal to hear some noise when you turn the car off, it can keep spinning for a second or 2. but I would not call it "loud". and you should not really be able to pick it from inside the cabin if the motor is running like at lights. generally when they are stuffed though it turns up as a whining under load ie when you first hit max boost, so that may not be the problem. i think you should be concerned....get a workshop to check it out. if it is failing the sooner you pull it apart, the less damage you will do to the turb and potentially motor.

absolutely unbeleivable. are you saying an insurance company claims department over-rode a magistrate's decision on blame? that is a new low, even for the bottom feeders in an insurance claims department.

haha I'm less likely to enter my car in a 12hr race than I am in targa. A whole chassis worth of destruction in 1 race! might run in someone else's car one day if i decide to spend my whole racing budget on a single event one year

oh....and.....wtf????

actually i thought the point was clear...banned. and just in case the message was not clear all round. I AM SICK OF ALL THE JUVENILE CRAP IN THIS SECTION. More bannings coming if breaches of the rules continue. The guidelines are clear. They are here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules In particular "Treat all members with respect and courtesy - We will ban any member(s) who make personal attacks, threats or mistreats any other member in anyway (discretion is up to the moderator at the time of the offence)"

yeah exactly, the cam cover baffles, not the cam baffles. but on the bright side your post makes sense to me now

hey that statement is still current
