Day was awesome big props to Paragon even though he drives a silvia :)... and also Derrick he gave me some pointers through out the day and by the end i was actually able to do some of them lol

By the 3rd one i was carving up (personal opinion :P) hehe you were right though a tap of the hand brake down the end there just kept it going was unreal. Look forward to doing it again in the future...

I still have not washed my car i figure i had better go to car lovers when management is not around. (we still can't wash our cars at home can we ???)

Of course you can't wash your car at home :D . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :). Still have to go over my car, have been using waterless wash, will use that to finish my car off.

Anyway was a Great day as always, looking forward to the video :happy:

good fun. I am aiming to go next time without smashing my front bar.

bought a new set of tyres after dorifto and the dumb ass "misplaced my hub centric rings and also assured my 235's would not scrub.... THEY DO!!!!!!!

now i will have to get 3mm spacers and have some more hub centric rings made...

I know i should have waited and gone to see mark at discount tyres but i did not like the idea of driving on completely bald tyres for a week.

It was really good to meet all of you and everyone was doing so well. the day is so much better with all nissans. Honestly you guys are much better drivers than all the other riff raff that are there on the open days :)

I was sure I couldn't anyways just that I spotted this on the actew website

General Exemptions

Water can be used to wash a vehicle's windows, mirrors or lights, and for spot removal of corrosive substances, and then only with a bucket or watering can filled directly from a tap (not by means of a hose).

I would classify the amount of shit on my car as being corrosive substances although it is not really a spot removal it would be a full wash hehe

Anyways I have the best idea I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner... THERMOS... safest way to get hot water down to the car wash and it at least cleans it up nicely.

Of course you can't wash your car at home :happy: . The guy at car lovers did give me a strange look lol :).

Hey all, Josh here!

Yeah have just looked over the raw footage, and u give r speedstars woot! I'll make a 30 sec vid clip that u guys can view, and from there we can figure out DVD copies + raw footage. Awesome day guys - good job on track, although I don't recommend filming inside a car, as generally stability isn't an option (and I REALLY like stability when I film haha!).

      Welcome Thomas! Sounds like you've made some progress. Are you able to drive it and enjoy it a bit now ?

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By The Bogan · Posted

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
