just wanna know where the best place to put a fire extinguisher in an r32?

last time i took out the top of the centre console and screwed it down in the existing holes.

but then when i got the car scrutinered (i cant spell) they told me that i needed to use bolts not self tapping screws so in the

end i had to duct tape it to the side of the seat. And they passed it but man there was no way i was getting that out in a hurry if there was a fire.

any suggestions on where to put it?

Troy. So you took the job!

I'll probably be at this. Havn't given it much thought though.

Yeh, working between Singapore, Malaysia and Hyderabad.

So its time for the rwd boys to step up and blow my PBs away. We cant have them standing any longer or the awd boys will think we are soft :)

I have mine mounted to a thin metal plate that is bolted in via the seat bolts in front of the drivers seat. I think I originally saw that idea on here, if you do a search you might be able to find it.

I'm trying to get ready, waiting on some tyres if I get back and can get them on my car is about right.

Cool man. Are you coming to watch?

I'm probably going to be at this but I don't think i'll be getting near 23's! Maybe a 27. I don't have enough power for sandown.

Haha - well said.

Sandown can be tough on brakes, but just don't be silly. If you brakes start to feel different (fade away) don't keep pushing. Back off, put your hazzards on and keep off the racing line to let other past.

Flush the brake system and fill with Motul RBF, Motul 5.1 or Castrol SRF.

If i'm on the money I also only get one hot lap with my brakes. If you back off for a whole lap they should cool and come back to you, as long as your codriver hasn't completly cooked them??? Eh Adz....!!

My 1:23.1 was done with 234rwkws. Teh tyres were only one track day old as at Phillip Island the RE55s were brand spankers. I ran a 1:24 at Dutton in well used RE55s and the 260rwkws , but the driver was well off the pace that day due to enjoying whayt little Shepparton has to offer on Sat night :D

So 230rwkws shoud dbe good for a 23s ort high 22s if your tyres are up to it.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
