I haven't damaged a front bar at the track yet :banana: *touches wood* Is your car lower then standard?

As a precuation I would take the white one down instead of your nice black one..

I don't think it would really matter but it's going to get dirty if so.

So everyone ignores my misspelling of bar... :P

My car is as standard as standard comes except for my rims which are 17", but with the tyres on there I think it would probably only a fly shit of difference. However, there is some merit in taking the already damaged one... I can smash it good and proper now! :banana:

A more serious question this time...

The rims that used to be on the back of my car still have rubber on them. Except they are down pretty much to the wear indicators, maybe a tiny but on the outside of the tyre. In the CAMS book it says something along the lines of "localised wear along the inside of the tyre" is acceptable, but I think these are a little past that point. Would these be allowed or will I have to find another place to burn the last of the rubber off legally :P ? Doesn't really matter if it doesn't, the tyres under my car at the moment will pass fine unless something bad happens *knocks wood*

I'm fine if you want to use them up. I have no problems with it.

Hey I got another newbie question...

I was planning on bringing down some tools and a jack and stands just in case...My jack is a steel 2.5 tonne beast though and weighs a tonne...is anyone else bringing that sort of gear down?? I am happy to be self sufficient but then again dont wnat to bring a tonne of gear down only to find I didn't need to...

Btw I have a Consult interface and laptop if anybody else with stock ECU needs it...

Also where do we put tools and all the stuff we remove from the car....

Not that many people bring decent jacks these days. If you think you are going to need them take them down. If anyone asks to borrow them. Just remember who has them. I've had mine lost before.

Tools and other items are just left in the garages. They will be fine there.

Most days there are people there with various tools, but if your likely to need something i would bring it myslef. You never know, this could be the one trackday that everybody decides not to bring anything :D

As for where you put them, I've always just left everything in the pit space where the car sits while it's not on the track. Never had a problem with things going missing, and seeing as we're all in different groups there is always people in the pit area.

And just bring a tarp or a sheet to cover ya stuff, its all good mate :D

Oh, and bring a chair :down:

I always make the mistake of not bringing a fold out chair....and have to sit on my tyres lol

another question do you take the back seats out before you go or do you take them out when your there, and if you do take the seats out, have you been pulled over by the cops and had any dramas.

Dont bother, just add boost

How much is the garage to hire, and if you don't have one where do you get your car ready when your there?

I think its $55 for the day, im getting it cause im staying there friday night and its somewhere safe to leave the car overnight. Plus on the actual day ill have a heater going in there all day for between sessions :P

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
