and they even come with free bonuses. You can choose from:

hepatitis;

nits;

mange;

and the entire range has a lovely odour of sweaty armpit. :(

LOL!

No they dont, It's a helmet ...and it's an option

No need for childishness, some might not be able to afford a helmet straight away and who are we to make fun of a option that is there!

Geez.......this place will never change! :)

This day isnt cheap you know for some one that is just starting: Once you pay for Entry Fee, Race Licence, Tyres, Fuel ,Accomodation, Fluids, Brake Pads, Gloves, Race Boots, car parts if needed and a helmet...It all adds up to be like a $500 weekend! and how many newbies do we have coming for there first time, can we just be mindful..

Quick question, really unimportant but a question anyways...

At the moment I have a choice of taking 2 front bars.

One is white like the rest of my car (probably because its the factory one that came with it :)) but has a gash in the side of it and the indicator/fog light surround is non existant. Lights are intact

The other is black but is in almost perfect condition.

Do I go to the track this weekend with a white or black bra? :laughing-smiley-014:

.Perhaps saying bra instead of bar was intentional.

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

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

More information then please. Have you done any other track? Have you got a lot of power? GTR or GTST?

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

Most people know the costs involved. That's why they usually save the day or take so long in getting the car ready.

It's called dedication to the sport and the love of motorcars.

New brake pads, gloves and race boots aren't necessary items. You're the only one who seems to be stiring people up here Jess. We are just having a laugh about the hired helmets. Most people usually borrow helmets off a friend to save a few dorrahs.

Just a bit of humour, no need to get upset :( . We all know how expensive track days can be. I do believe however, that considering the amount of money we spend of our cars, it is wise to invest a bit of money on something that is going to protect your head.

For those hiring helmets, be aware that they are limited and although they have quite a few they are all different sizes. So if there are a lot of people with the same size head you may have to settle for an ill fitting helmet.

Edit : will rephrase : No need to scare off newbies and most dont really know what they are getting into till they try the day out as per all the questions getting ask in this thread..

Even without the things you have said above that arent "necessary" fuel alone is a huge cost...

Not getting upset Apollo: All I said was to be mindful not everyone knows the "in house jokes".

Fuel is a part of life. With the petrol price rising we all have to deal with it. It's a 1/4 tank to get down there from the start of the M5 a full day on the track in my car takes up another 1/4 full day in the GTR is 1/2 tank.

I think people have worked out the cost. We aren't trying to scare them off we want more inexperienced people to come to our events That's what we are all about. This year is looking great with 2 groups full of people who have never hit the track before.

I don't see any in house jokes in the thread. We don't have anything against anyone. You're the only one who seems to think otherwise.

Now enough of that.

Only a couple more days everyone! Get your excited pants on! :)

Weather outlook is getting a bit worse.

It's better than this morning. It said before 5mm of rain 50% chance.

checked another site and it says clearing morning shower. 30% chance of less than 1mm rain. :-)

Gotcha. I'll start you in group 2 but you can move up to group 3 after the first session if you need it.

I know a couple of people have offered to help but can I please just confirm I need one or two people who can promise to be there by 8:30am at the latest and can time the sessions and man the flags for me. Two people is good cos they keep an eye on each other and keep each other company.

It's highly unlikely that you will get stuck doing it all day if you don't want to as there will be other people around who can take over. I just need you to commit to the morning.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
