always wanted one but if I get a new helmet it will be for when I get my bike and the simpson ones aren't legal for road use. The haven't had the required testing to be standard compliant...

@Colin: bike helmets are allowed under the current regs, as long as they meet AS1698. I use one.

BUT as Josh has said, they are not rated for the same kind of impacts as motorsport helmets. A new helmet for me has been long overdue, I guess that makes me a muppet :thumbsup:

I have been trying to track down solid info on what the requirements are changing to. I beleive they are dropping AS1698, and possibly a lot of the other older standards as well, and requiring a HANS device. I'm not going to buy a helmet until I know it will meet the new regs.

Best fitting helmets I've ever tried. So light aswell. I reckon my next helmet will be a Shoei helmet. Mum n Dad have both got Shoei's and they're great.

I thought they changed the regs so they had to be compliant with an AS/NZ code not just the AS one. Not sure will have to do a little research

I've got a couple of road bike helmets. I think they may be out of date. BS if I cant use them they're legal on the road so why not down a drag strip...

You can.. If they are in date.

at an event, you might as a road helmet isnt anything like a moto-x/dirt bike helmet.

at a CAMS event, thats a whole other story. They can ask you to go home with a JAP cage if they wish.

I'm talking moto-x/dirt bike.

I am lost why people why people wear these

The problem is, is it going to be all across the board - ANDRA/CAMS/AASA :thumbsup:

fookers the lot of them

people already have them from when they did mx - so they figure they might as well get good use out of them while they are still learning - until they decide they want to get more involved, and then get a proper helmet..

or is that just me and dave?

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
