OK, I was going to cancel this due to a lack of interest but there has been some interest for me to try get it going again. As I will no longer be driving at the day, a lot of incentive has been lost for me to organise it. Anyway, the only way I will keep trying to organise this now is if I get people that will tell me they are coming out regardless of the weather, and will actually show up. This means it may be a 40deg day...

Please do NOT vote if you are not serious, or have a high chance of pulling out. Only vote if you are 100% sure that you will be coming out to drive.

Cheers

Showza

gonna try and make my car ready. just waiting for the yen to go higher to order the new wheels.

how does mallala go on tyres?

might be running 33 GTR brembo's with endless pads should these be ok?

gonna try and have ducting to both front brakes to help cool things down.

cheers luke

What's the temp range on the pads?

Mallala isn't too kind on tyres, especially with lots of heat, if you can, see if you can get a set of second hand semis. I got a set from North Terrace Tyres before for $100 each with heaps of tread, so if you can afford it, it's a good idea.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
