You have to be an absolute tool to bump someone and vice versa. The day is pretty much everyone at their own pace and the fast cars seperated from the slower ones. People are pretty much told to move over for faster cars. All the track days I've been to I've never seen an incedent where cars collide, only close ones.

Bonkers, I've been sending you emails all along about extinguishers and the like.

I don't think that's ok yogi. The easiest way I think is to get a strip of aluminium from the hardware store, two holes, one at either end then bolt it to the same holes that your front seat mounts are using. So under your legs.

Then the bracket of the extinguisher bolts to that strip.

I've never seen an accident either. Also we kick the idiots off the track so as not to endanger you.

the only extinguisher in the small size worth buying is made by BFI. it's 1kg empty, 2 kg full. all extinguishers to be used in a cams event need to be metal, at least 1kg and mounted with a metal bracket. the usual torpedo shape ones people use have a fire rating of 5, the BFI ones rating is 20 so it will put out 4 times as much fire. i've shot off a few types and some of them are pathetic, the BFI one is good shit. so my advice is pay a little more and get one that will really save you or your car if needed.

my extinguisher is in the passenger side, near the end of the foot area on the door side, if that makes sense!!

fitted it in a few mins, bought it auto 1 a while ago

:)

i wont be racing, however ill try and make it down, if i do ill volunteer to be a flag marshall, however i wont know till a few days before

cheers,

chris

I just had a set of 2nd hand GT3 porche cup slicks fitted to my spare set of GTR rims, although they are suppose to be 240's they only just fit on the 9' rims. Lets see if they last a little longer then the last set of yoka's I had!

Cheater! Double cheater!

eek.. the one I have is mounted with a strong, quick release style plastic bracket.. It's definitely not going anywhere in a hurry, but is easily removed. Is this going to be ok or is it STRICTLY a metal bracket?

The plastic bracket ones should be OK but next time (!) get a metal bracket it is a problem with some scruitineers.

For those worried about making a hole in the carpet, feel free to check out the Zed's passenger floor....you will never spot where the extinguisher used to be :whistling:

i think we may have gone a little OT here. i havent seen the regs for this event (or even if it has any) so i dont think any extinguisher is required. is it? BUT to answer the question, in nsw super sprint series run under CAMS approval the bracket must be metal, and the extinguisher mounted within reach of the driver. it must also be a minimum 1kg dry powder type. the plastic ones will not pass. neither will ones out of date. neither will the ones under 1kg. but like i said i dont think any is required for this?

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
