Hey Bard. If you are coming along you can have a thrash of my car :D

I will be there at the start to get it all runnig, but i have to leave around2pm....so no point in me taking a spot for this one :laugh:

Next one, for sure!!!

Aw wish i could go to this one! My birthday party is that night and i'll be setting up for it during the day :laugh:

I really enjoyed the last one i went to, guess i'll try and get into one around Jan/Feb and have another go :D

double skipdan would be awesome.

Keets, if you want to have SOME part in this event, i dont mind taking your R for a lap or 3. I have a good reord of keeping cars on the black stuff. I do have 1 or 2 indiscretions are on record though. (have about 10 more off record haha)

Yeeeaaaaah...about that aaahhh...I'm gonna have to go ahead and say aahhh no.*sip coffee*

Next time Bard :blink:

Lol.

1. Tyres not come - called up. Money bounced back - entered wrong account number. Repaid there and then. (Over east)

2. Ossy park for a helmet.

3. Frantically rang tyre places trying to find some 245-275 tyres, 2nd hand.

4. Found one in ossy park, got down there @ around 10am, only to find they had no record of the phone call we had earlier. Thankfully one of the lil indian dudes put his hand up and found 2x 255s

5. Problem, golf at 11am. (Wheels at home, rolling on mates rims)

6. Rush home, rush back with car full of wheels, deposit wheels to tyre place. Rush off to golf.

7. Golf canceled, rush back to tyre place and stuff wheels back in car (they wanted $50 to fit them, rofl).

8. Put wheels on, with cheap rear tyres, go home and tell sau about it!

This better be good :rofl:

Go to Helmet House in East Vic Park. He has DOT, SNELL & AS approved full face for $129.00. OK for events like this, would consider something better if you have aspirations of becoming the next Schumacher :rofl:

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
