Whilst I don't agree with their blanket usage of the word 'hoon' - it's always good to see some positive articles. Nice that they mention Heathcote too.

A good note from the police officeer who runs Drag Right too - "Pepperkamp would like to see more drag-racing strips around country Victoria. They could also be used as venues for driver training and give young drivers somewhere to race their cars safely."

Saff - yes, that was him. Snows and I had a quick chat.

Oh to have weekday internet use again James :D

He seemed pleasant enough from the little I overheard of him talking near the drag strip. ;)

I understand the intention, but have concerns that it may be very easilly taken out of context:

More than 40 reported cases of "hoonish" driving led to death or serious injuries between January 12, 2003 and November 18, 2004. Most of these drivers are young and some will have to live with the fact that they killed innocent people, sometimes their mates.

But this duel is not an illegal street race on a public road. This is Calder Park on a Friday night.

That little snippet by itself makes it sound as if the deaths and serious injuries have occurred at Calder. :(

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
