Ferni...I remember from the last round and the vid that jack posted up that he had his IR receiver on the passenger side door which would suggest that the transmitter is on the other side.

You would've got your lap timer by now so you might be able to clarify this but all you need for the transmitter is a power source right? Either way I have no option but to have it on the drivers side due to the cable length.

Yeah, snowy is going to extend them... It didn't even occur to me they would be for bikes, i bet if we told them it was for a car we would of got the longer one.. o well i'm sure snowy will figure it out, working for a cable and wire company and all :O

As for the transmitter, yeah just 8 AA batteries inside, or 12v external powersource from somewhere... not sure what they usually use? Would AA batteries last all day? I guess so.

Shit, i need tyres, brake pads and need to do something about the gearbox spewing out fluid at high speed. Shocks are still sitting on the docks of Kobe >_<

So this will be the last time i drive the car with the Bislteins for a while. With new tyres and pads i may wind the boost up and see how low into the 1:22s i can go. There is a 1:21 in it but i dont know if i can put that good a lap together without ironing out the suspension better. But i have been watching my vids carefully and know i am losing time when i spin off and hit walls :laugh:

HAAAAA ! :laughing-smiley-014: Gold dude, GOLD ! I think I nearly pooped my pants laughing just then, at least You've got a sense'O humour about it eh?

WHY would people go and schedule motorsports events on the long weekend? Don't they know I've got an engagement party, and mates-back-up-home reunion thing happening ? ? I wanted to go car-whore at Phillip Island for the Vic champs too, Gee-Gosh I like those sports sedans! >_<

Have fun guys, I'm out.. >_<

I haven't taken time off for almost 3 years so I'm going away for the weekend...

Looks like Aaron will take this one, unless Snowy or Scotsman pull something out of the hat!!!!

Troy, don't push for that 1:21, it may be out of reach for the time being...

If i front the 2.5k for tyres, pads and fuel....i will be trying my little heart out. I will be happy with a few laps in the 1:22s, but i need just one lap where i get into the 21s. If i grab 3rd through turn 1. 4th up to Dandenong. And use max revs i think the car can do it >_< Its just that the car is a drift machine when i use those gears...hopefully there may be a little truth to the poor rear grip and gearbox fluid thing and i may find some of the lost grip????

Not having a serious go at you Hardman but that's the softest excuse for not attending a motorsport day I have ever heard.

There are only 2 excuses accepted by your peers and they are:

1. My car is broken.

2. I have to attend my own funeral.

Soft.

As for scheduling over a long weekend, we take what we can get.

Awesome Snowie....if you can do mine at the same time that would be great....just let me know when and where :/

Ferni....I didn't have a close look....if thats the case why can't we set one up on the drivers side of the circuit and just run the IR receiver to point through the drivers side window?

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
