What's the saying????

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever"

So instead of Dan giving you a fish...goto www.motoconcepts.com.au and ask them about the helmet thing guys. :D

Here you go ,

Personal Safety Attire (Car Track Days)

All participants are to wear the following minimum safety attire whilst participating on the circuit.

Full-face helmet in good condition with an Australian standards sticker.

Driving suit, overalls or heavy cotton garment. The garment must cloth the driver / passenger from ankle to wrist.

Covered footwear. Joggers or driving shoes.

Gloves - Optional

franky, you are so smart :D all that effort in the post, why didnt YOU just look it up huh???? :D

same reason I didn't (but different) I guess ;)

oh and the fact I have a full face helmet to protect my pristine features too :D

They changed the rule to full face helmet only @ motoconcepts day after someone wacked their jaw on the steering wheel....

Open faced helmets are not a problem with 4 or 6 point harnesses as you can't leave the east, but with a normal 3 point belt you can hit the wheel if you try hard enough.

BTW, who is this Neil newby :confused:

he he he

I'm going to test out the pimping machine. Group C, take it nice and easy - See if I can keep up with Fatz in the Charade.....

Should be a bit of fun. Just wnat to get a feel for the lines.

The Skyline won't be ready for a good few weeks - Then I'll start to get serious -

I'll take your 5 bucks dino ! I'll get the tinted visor later - I'll see how it goes with my prescription sunnies.

Oh and it has to match the tint of the Gloria too - must remember to keep up appearances.

:D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
