wilch...the easiest way is to pull the bolt out that holds the back seat down on the passenger side...then put the extinguisher bracket there and put the bolt back through it.

that or just drill through the passenger floor, the holes are tiny you would never see them.

the bracket method needs a piece of metal as wide as the seat mounting bolts...take the seat bolts out and put the bracket under them, then seat bolts back in. Rivet the extinguisher bracket to the metal

BWA you need $85 for the licence and $29 for the extinguisher.

Yes we do need them Mr Baron and there is no requirement for metal brackets.

thanks for clearing that up. :angry: sorry for the mislead.

That makes things a bit easier, but for those wishing to use their extinguisher at other cams event my advice would be to go straight for the metal bracket one as all events i've entered require it.

i just got out the extinguisher to take a few pics that may help:

fire rating (the 20 is the cruicial part, the bigger this number the better)

I made my bracket out of aluminium then machined it a little to give it that 'brushed aluminium' look and take off the sharp edges. one of the holes is elongated to make it easier to bolt down. because the floor is not flat it has a slight bow in it when done up tight.

So Wilch, I just realised that you seem to be expecting me to bring an extinguisher with me. I never got a reply from BWA to confirm this.

Can you please confirm your understanding of this? you could email me on bob at estc dot net dot au to make my life easier.

Not saying that's not a good method at all but thought I'd throw in an alternative.

I got a piece of metal (read: strong) and bent it at a 90 degree angle kind of an "L" shape. Long ways I've mounted the fire extinguisher on and the shorter side I've rivetted into the back of the console box in the rear. Basically where the drivetrain tunnel is between the 2 passenger footwells. Works great and keeps it out of the way of passengers in daily traffic mode.

I'd also like to say STAY AWAY FROM CHEAP ASSED FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.. Please. I bought a Chubb because I trust the name. I bought a 2 pack of fire extinguishers before this one only when I needed it BOTH FAILED (bought from a cheapo repco type store for $30 for the pair)... Beware!!

I've used 2 cable ties and put two grooves in the bracket to put them in. Works awesomely.

Is there anything they can't do?

That's probably the only situation I'd not use zip ties in just incase in impact they're gonna let go. Certain angles they love to snap (hence why they're suited to holding on my front bar haha)... Then again I spose you've probably thoguht of this already and got a few on there holding them from different angles :)

Question on passengers. Yes or No? If there's a drift session would love to take my gf.

agreed, like i said, i've used a few and some are very lame. the BFI one i posted above is the only one i buy now for use in my car. seen one of them in use before and it's awesome. minimum dischage time is 13secs too.

having said all that, i would be very surprised if any of you guys ever need one. it doesnt happen very often.

doodz, where do you live?

Marourba :)

Foud out how to get there now so it should be ok.

Just gotta figure out what time people will be there..

From the City of Sydney

Take the Eastern Distributor past Sydney Airport to the M5 motorway. Follow the M5 to the Camden Valley Way exit. 

Follow Camden Valley way to Cobbitty Road, turn right into Cobbitty Road and the Cobbitty Road entrance is less than 5 minutes away.



From the Western Suburbs

Take the M4 to the Northern Road exit and follow Northern Road to Oran Park Raceway. Oran Park Raceway is about 25 minutes from the Northern Road exit of the M4.



From North of Sydney

Exit the Northern Freeway at Hornsby and follow the pacific Highway into the city, Take the Sydney Harbour Tunnel and follow the directions from the City of Sydney.



From South of Sydney

The easiest way is to find the M5 and take the M5 to the Camden Valley Way Exit as described above.

I just got the email from Nathan from RENEW.. I was wondering about the CAMS licences... Are we supposed to sort these out directly with cams to get the licence, or are we able to do this on the day or something? I've already submitted these forms to Abo Bob. Are you submitting these for us, or should we bring copies on the day?

I have a mental checklist of stuff to bring, please let me know if I'm missing something:

- Helmet

- CAMS Licence Application Form

- RENEW/Oran Park Track Day Entry Form

- Mounted Fire Extinguisher

- Tools/Oil/Maintenance stuff

- Long clothing/Leather shoes

- Car!

Also is anyone comming from out west.. like penrith or mt druitt?

So i can follow them?

OK easy run down on how to get to Oran Park.

People North of the bridge, simply head city way and go tunnel & Eastern Distributer.

People other side of bridge you simply follow the ED out towards the airport and continue to follow it until u reach a tunnel that literally goes under a runway.

Be in the left hand lanes thru this tunnel as once u get out the other side the road will split into 2.

One will go off to the Right signed for Canberra, you NEED to take the LEFT exit heading for Liverpool.

Now just follow this road for ages. It will turn into a freeway just after the King Georges Rd exit.

Follow the freeway for a good few km's. Now once u hit to toll booth's, it is the 4th exit on the left (Camden Valley Way EXIT), but it is actually called BEECH RD exit (same thing).

Take this and chuck a left @ the lights then u get to an intersection about 200m's up the road called "The Crossroads'.

Turn RIGHT at these lights and this is Camden Valley Way. Follow it for a long long time...maybe 20 mins. Once you get to the other side of a suburb called Catherine Fields its not far. Cobbity Road is on your right.

Pretty Easy really! :D

So what time are people turning up??

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around.
