Calder Park on a friday night??

I think that would be your cup of tea Paul....

Or maybe come to one of our track days, see fast cars... go around corners... :ninja:

How far out is Calder....are you running any track days while im down....people tend to forget that i was a track racer way before i started drag racing. My first time at a drag strip was to watch Stacey race...so she is to blame for my straight line antics.

Yeah we are dead keen to get tickets to see a finals match on the 23rd or 24th at the MCG. As soon as tickets are being released can someone let me know.

Given the ladder situation I'd say there is a 5% chance of a prelim actually being played in Vic this year unfortunately (Weekend 23-24). However - IF there is a game in Vic I might be able to hook you up with a couple of tickets. Obviously we won't know if there is going to be a game in Vic that weekend until after the 1st week of the finals.

Benno is not exactly close to the city - is probably about a 1/2 hour drive from the city centre to Bayswater in no traffic.

9/6 Halloway Drive, Bayswater

your kidding arent you?

30mins to Baysie from the city?

Try an HOUR to get there, and hour to get back, and hour to talk shit :D

Paul - unfortunately with the way the ladder finished it seems there isn't going to be any footy in Melbourne that weekend. This weekend and the Grandfinal are the only weeks you'll see footy in Vic again this year.

Also - not doing Calder. As much as its always fun beating Ferrari's - I'm doing the Dutton the weekend before (15-17th) and so generally after that event I don't even want to look at my car for a month or so afterwards. LOL

I'll keep my ear to the ground and see how I'm feeling. Must be time to drag Nelly into town for a few drinks and maybe Stacey can convince her to come and play at the track with me :(

Paul, yep Calder is still on, should be a good day, hopefully it won't rain.... did you bring a helmet?? :)

They have passenger laps in the morning... You could probably borrow one from somebody else, may take up too much of your luggage space...

Cheers,

Jack

Ill feel more comfortable in my own Jack...i have no "carry on" luggage so ill take it as carry on.

    • 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. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
