Just a heads up I found Canberra motorcylce centre to have a good range but were not really flexable on the price where as Joe's pretty much knocked 10 - 20% off without asking. (sorry Jayce)

Might go off to fishwick and visit a few motorbike shops see what i can find!
Now im another step back from going, the wheels i payed for yesterday are damaged apparently so im guessing no track day. :)

how bad are they damaged? are they cracked or buckled? if you cant get your money back, take em to the wheel factory in queanbeyan. they'll be able to let you know how bad the wheel is damaged, and how much it'll cost you to have em fixed. worst comes to worst, just use your std wheels...

I need to know where to find a cheap helmet, went down to racing revolution, and everything starts around $800... thats a little expensive for helmet isnt it?

look in the paper or ebay for 2nd hand helmets. they'll be much cheaper too. you dont need a full-on pro racing helmet. i only use an open-faced old-school helmet which does the job. also be aware that you will get very hot driving around the track, so i also like the open-faced idea cause it helps keep you cool.

their worth it when it comes to doing a track day. one less thing i have to worry about, like my brakes fading! how much did you get quoted for and where from? apparently there are only 2 places in the country that make them ADR approved for skylines.... (which mine are :) )
i paid $360 for front and rear braided lines (including postage)....

whered you get yours from? i got mine locally for A LOT less, and ADR approved, dickson had a problem with them, cos i didint have an engineers for them, took it to a highly regarded engineer and he had no worries with them

ok, so, i was thinking, depending on how many people are going, about organising a meeting point and time for those that wanna cruise up as a group. so in my 1st post, i'll do up a list of all those who will be coming along and the meeting time and place...

Meet: Shell servo at EPIC

Time: 7am for a 7.15am leave...

some may think this is early, but remember, it'll be busy as it is a saturday and it'll take time to get ourselves signed on and paid for and to strip everything out of our cars before the event.

so who's coming along? MIVEC? SupaFly? you guy's interested? anyone else?

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
