Here a tip. My Fiance says if you buy a $100 coles gift card it is all profit as they don't have to pay for product to sell, so Fire appeal gets $100 you get $100 gift card you can use to pay for your shopping instead of cash, then fire appeal gets another hit up of profit cash from your shopping!

Makes sense but not sure if gift cards are classed in this thing or not.

We hit the local Coles, queues were big but am sure it was worth it. Will be great to get a final figure as so many other people were there for the same thing. I also set a deductions scheme out of staff pays at work too, either once off or payment reducing over 4 weeks. All for a very worthy cause.

I worked 9 hours at Coles on Friday and it was absolutely hectic. Worse than Christmas or Easter. Basically all the staff were at the service area all day, regardless of what department you were in. People went nuts too, bought like 5 years supply of tooth paste, etc. Saw several ~$1000 orders go through my register alone. I work at one of the bigger Coles stores, with 13 registers, and every single one (excluding the 3 express) had at least 10 trolleys lined up.

I will say this though, despite the monster lines that filled the fresh produce area, blocked the deli off and forced people to wait nearly half an hour to reach the register; no one complained. Everyone was in good spirits, polite, friendly and patient.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
