don't put it into plastic - there are formal rules from CAMS somewhere, but think of it this way....do you want a 1kg cylinder floating around the car in a crash or roll?

easiest place for a 33 gtst is the bolt holding down the bottom of the rear seat, passenger side where you can reach it

dammit.

I was hoping to use my semi's however in the wet, shithouse. and my street tyres? even worse haha

hmm...I'll keep an eye on saturdays weather gents and ladies.

Where do I get the triangles for the battery location from?

Just rang Oran Paark, it is still on this Saturday. Opens 7:30am start 9:30am close 4:30 close 5:30 I think.

Does anyone know where to meet up once we get there?

You can just use blue electrical tape!

Or just make a triangle in MS Paint >_< and stick it on

otherwise theres a few shops, like revolution race gear, garys motorsport tyres etc

you can get them with a metal bracket from autobarn for like $40 or there abouts. I put it just where duncan said, just reach around to grab it, and it was easy to install, i also put on in DJ Brave's car and Tinks' car.

Took about 10mins each time.

i have some profressional racing wets (pirelli fronts, dunlop rears) i got of the race team, if its raining u can use them....if you promise to take me along >_<

Edge- come sunday ahah sat is gonna rain n shit :)

where i can get a fire extin from? oh do i need like spare tyres as well?

im stilla virgin when come to tracks, so other suggestion?

ps IM SERIOUS!!!! no stupid sarcasms please... >_<:).. chris.. :)

Auto 1 have the CAMS approved ones, I just got mine from there (My old one expired)

What you need...

make sure car is in good heathly order.

no leaks etc

top fluids up if need be.

bleed brakes if you can.

when you get there - take every lose item out of the car. including boot

wear long sleeved shirt and pants and covered shoes

ADR aprooved helmet

If you are on street tyres, they will cop a beating depending on how hard you go. If you are relatively new to it, dont go as hard!

I have my semi's and road tyres so I have spares >_<

when your out there...

first couple laps, warm up car tyres etc etc

go for a few laps, then do a cool down lap. when you come back to pits, do a few laps again of the car park just too keep it again.

come into pits, leave it on a flat surface and dont put on handbrake

dont have a big night before hand! (I ALWAYS make this mistake) and before each session, go to the toilet.

bring plenty of water and food

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
