QR was good times.

Was given some bad news about my plans for the car however. Time to completely rethink my plan of attack for building a track car. Stupid government making life harder for me :(

:(

What's the issue?

No more cages in street legal cars after the 30th of June. If it's currently there you can keep it but no more mod plates for cages.

Thinking I might keep the 34 more or less as she is and start looking for a car to turn into a 100% track weapon. Maybe start with an S13/180SX or MX-5 base and work up from there.

Just cages or other stuff going to happen aswell?

edit: like i was saying last night, turbo'd mx5, cheap to do and good for almost anything. their club is active too, does a lot of lakeside trackdays.

Hmmm means i need to get one done before then... Does it include everything like bolt in, half cage, etc etc?

I thought it was only 6 point cages that were getting axed?

Morning Mangs. Productive Friday yesterday, finally nearly on top of all my work

I'm not sure what the full changes to the vehicle modification rules will entail. I'm going to give Daniel-San a call on Monday or Tuesday to try and find out what's what.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
