Folks,

The 2008 Allied Metal Recyclers Speed Event Series kicks off on Saturday arvo/evening at Wanneroo. Starts at 4.30 pm & finishes under lights at 10.30.

Spectator entry is entirely free so why not come down for a look? Say hello even. :wave:

Full details are on the website (also calendar, entry form, registration, supp regs etc etc) and there will be the usual bewildering range of cars entered. Remember this series is our only state based sprint & hillclimb competition & features everything from sports sedans, wings & slicks open wheelers, ex rally cars, road cars, historic cars - you name it you will probably find it there. Well worth a look. :blush:

Well done Richard, a great result, especially considering the first 4-5 are dedicated racecars :(

Faaark me - the first four or five? :D I wish. Out of the first thirteen twelve of them are either race or rally cars. The other was a GT3 Porsche. :D I remember the old days when you had half a chance of a result in a road car. :)

Anyway my driving sucked badly on Saturday - so there is much truth in the rumour I couldn't drive out of sight on a dark night. Mind you, with stock brakes the thing can be seen from quite a distance. I can't even claim to have been the quickest Nissan on the night. Paul got me by 0.2 seconds. But I did manage to be the quickest Skyline. Mostly because George took his thing home on the back of a trailer after some unhappy engine noises.

It was a good day/night. Glad the 38 degree temperatures didn't eventuate.

Oh and next round is on in Collie on the 2nd March followed by the Busselton event (I think). Be nice to see some Skylines there.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
