Ouch - you and Brisby really are similar huh? :thumbsup:

Hope you get it all sorted without too much drama.

lol, only in that we are both sydney boys and both have far more mouth than talent. I am far better looking than troy though.

yeah, it is not too bad. pride is dented about as much as the car. BUT I will do my best to get it semi-sorted for this wednesday. nothing like getting back on the horse that tried to kill me...

the plan is:

remove the kinked part of the exhaust (just the rear bit)

replace it with a straight piece of pipe so at least it's exiting in the right spot

try and wash off some dust (it's fcking everywhere)

get alingment checked

bleed brakes

then back out there to show it who's really boss. :)

lol, I think they have a photo of fatz in the control tower with a "ARDC's most wanted" at the top due to previous incidents dating back a few years... dunno what their problem is. the grass grows back afterall...

I dont know Troy is way up there in the good looking department :D *giggles*

You will be back out there in no time :)

Did it shake you up a little? Was it scary...or was it all over in a flash?

don't worry mate.

that's nothing a good dose of "harden the fcuk up" won't fix

lol

lol, don't tell troy you said that!

it didn't really shake me up too much. It was pretty scary though I guess as it was a pretty loooong slide. I lost it around I guess 140-160 and it was a very sudden spin. I then spent what seemed like forever just sliding backwards across the dirt and not really slowing down as fast as I'd like. lol. then i met the wall. the first part was over in a split second (from turn in to backwards) the slide seemed to last forever and gave me a good chance to sense the impending wall. after the love tap I just fired er 'up and drove onwards, completed half a lap and went into the pits.

yeah, it was a nice effort. turn 10 is 4th gear, flat. It was a combination of things. rear end is not well set-up (too much swaybar and too much spring, so very stiff and very taily) basically I was pushing hard as I finally had the tyre pressures semi sorted and was catching another car at a few second a lap. it was last lap of the session, and by far my best so far so I was just pushing. I went out wider than I normaly do and turned in a little too agressively and the rear end came around far quicker than I could catch it.

so the contributing factors were

lack of rear end grip (poor rear end set-up on my part, and rear tyres not working)

pushing too hard

lack of talent

act of god

choose 2 out of 4. :domokun:

pushing to hard

You have loads of talent and have heaps of experience, I think and have heard that eastern creek can be a bit of a hard unforgiving track :)

But atleast you know what the contributing factors were....its just one of those random ghey things :domokun:

Rubbing is racing :D

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
