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.

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

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
