^^^ I don't want to come across as anal, but since I am sitting here looking at some of my AIR timeslips from March 2004, I doubt very much the track has been closed for 8 years ....

But, I absolutely love this part of your sig : "drivers use your brain and stay in the left hand lane." - I can't agree more. Even in a 60 zone the law states to at all times drive as near as practicable to the left hand kerb. Let alone all of the absolute losers I constantly follow doing 70 in a 90 zone (on the Port Expressway) sitting in the right hand lane. It absolutely shits me to tears. I don't care that they have no place to be, and no time to be there in - I am a very busy guy and every second counts .... when they are needlessly in my way I wish to do evil things to them. But they have no idea - they don't even understand why I am flashing my lights at them or a filthy look when I finally get past them. They have no idea they have blatantly broken the law and inconvenienced me to the nth degree.

yeah, of all the shitty things south australian drivers do, whoring the right hand lane and sitting 10 under is probably the worst. my sister is shocking for that, shes never out of the right hand lane, says its her 'right to use whatever part of the road' she deems fit. sigh.

thats cool. obviously AIR has been shut for a while now but i wasnt sure exactly how long its been, so i just guessed. i have read 4-6-8 years and even read on AdelaideNow that its still open lol. i'll change my post. thanks for the comment about my signature.

If I owned an old cooner with a bull bar I would be ramming her and all the people like her all day long. Oh how satisfying that would be.

Print off the road rules for her to have a peruse about how it is most definitely NOT her right to sit in the right hand lane. It most definitely IS the law to stay as near as practicable to the kerb at ALL TIME.

All good mate - I was just flinging shit. From memory the track closed in October 2004 - right at the re-start of Wednesday night street meets (after the winter closure). I missed the opening night and was going to race in the next one and they pulled the pin on it, quoting 'timing light issues', which turned out to be very poor ongoing maintenance, and some hungry rodents :P

i did. but shes stubborn to a fault. pretty average driver all round, cant maintain speed, repeated failure to indicate, tailgating, and shes the typical 'ill pay attention to something else instead of the road in front of me' female driver. hate getting in a car with her. and yet, im the hoon. figure that out.

She wouldn't be the only one though, there's shit loads of moronic drivers who don't pay attention or just plain think they're the only one on the road. I've seen police turn a blind eye too, so more than likely most of these people don't even realise they doing something wrong or illegal...... I could just go on and on and on and on and on.....

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
