Any sort of roster for other events or will it be a random friday night every 2 months?

I can't make this one coz my car will be the same as last time so theres no point :P. But I will have a tune up a few days after this event.

I declare that i will beat 1 minute, next time I go :O

Topaz...you would be surprised mate as the best mod to get time off is improvment in driver ability. I went to the same track last year once at the start of the championship and 2nd nearer the end....with no mods to my car I managed to chop 5secs off my first time and all that was down to bigger balls (breaking later, carrying more speed round a corner...)

Hey guys, I thought you might be interested to know what cars to expect on the night. (once again there are still places available if your still interested)

Cam....the ext can be fitted anywhere as long as it can be reached by the driver whilst belted in the drivers seat. Mines against the tunnel in the passenger footwell, however have also seen it mounted behind the drivers seat under the rear seat padding on the vertical section (if that makes sense!!).

R34...if the event is being run as a CAMS sanctioned event then yes the ext is mandatory.

Does the extiguisher need to be of a certain type or can it be one of the one's available at Repco ect?

schedule H of the CAMS competitors guide says that the extinguisher must:

(i) comply with Australian Standard 1841 (This means dry powder)

(ii) Must be of at least 900g capacity (ie 2lb).

(iii) Must be inspected every six months (& tagged) & serviced every three years (ie recharged)

When you buy one there are two things to look for:

It has a metal bracket - try not to get one with a plastic bracket as the scrutineers don;t tend to like them.

It will have a build date stamped on the body near the hadle - get the newest one possible.

To answer your other question - I got mine from Repco.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
