i dont care what you do, just dont kill me or anyone i love

as for your car issues...

if the vibration happens while at high speed, check wheel balancing or wheel bearings.

if the vibration happens while you are braking from high speed get your disk rotars checked for being warped or uneven pad wear.

iseekool, i just said i dont hoon around...

and priestley, how does me saying i race my mate mean street racing?

anyway, ive found this site not to helpfule towards me and the one time i do get some more then 1 opinion they pick the bad part out and yell...haha, catchyas later

what priestley said was that (based on your wording) you said "always up against your mate" - it kind of implies that its more than once

for example - i could say "im always at the gym" - meaning I go there frequently. I wouldnt say "always at the gym" when I just go there once. I would have said "i once went to the gym"

so I think its your wording that has been questioned - were you up against your mate in his 300zx once? or were you always up against your mate in his 300zx?

Stop bullshitting us, we weren't born yesterday. It's nothing to do with your 'wording', stop changing your story. You're obviously street racing, hopefully the law catches up with you before you hurt anyone else.

Can I see the timeslip or the CAMS log book?

I'm sorry but I don't think your words were simply worded wrong, I mean, there are so many contradictions to everything you wrote. You and your friend only do it when there is no-one else around?

Here's the deal mate...come along to an SAU Vic DECA day and get your speed fix there with us. You can even take on your friend in his 300zx to your heart's content, in a completely legal way, for about half the price of a 1 demerit point fine. I guarantee you will get more enjoyment out of it than messing about on the highway with your friend. Keep it off the street and I will gladly help you in real life with your car related issues. This site is helpful to those who are helpful to us - endangering our lives on the roads...is not helpful to us.

we just f**k around from drysdale to geelong

A highway is still classed as street racing.

Maybe a Huge Rear Wing and Canards to add some downforce to try and settle it down. It'll suit the "racer" image. :D

Regardless. What suspension setup do you have? All standard parts? Or a mix match of upgrades?

Besides alignments and such. Is everything done up tightly? Suspension Components and Wheel Nuts etc?

Calder Park

Heathcote Park

Winton

Just to name a few

Ive only been to Heathcote personally. All you need is a licence, a car, long sleeves/pants and a helmet. On a Test and tune you just rock up with all of the above. Give them about $50 get a quick car check and you can run as many times as you want. Easily upwards of 20-30 if you are racing like a hero and not thinking about what your doing or a good 6-10 if you give the car time to cool down and work out where you are going wrong to improve your times.

I'm not sure the setup of Calder Park but I'm sure its would be fairly similar and I'm sure it is closer to your location. Not sure what circuits you have nearby.

Also not 100% sure of the way Winton works although hopefully I will soonish, but there are people here who would have been to several track days there who may be able to explain. Either that or do a search. Surely it is covered on here somewhere.

look, im new to all this stuff...birds, ill take you up on that...if u help me do it a legal way...ill keep it of the streets

Join the club, go to Deca, you don't need a skyline to join.

If you don't know what Deca is, check "SAU DECA" on youtube, you'll understand :(

If you want to do tracks, Driver Dynamics does Sandown for ~$265 or so for a *massive* amount of track time.

Alternatively get a Cams license and join SAU events, Driver Training (ie. you can have someone else in the car with you) is around the ~$165 mark.

Keep it off the streets, and that includes your mate, Deca is about $80, its a big drive but a lot of fun :(

man why does everyone get on their high horse on this forum just answer his question or move on to the next thread dont need 50 lectures been handed out..

i am positive everyone of you has given it a squirt at some point so get over yourselves..

Well some of us are a little tired of f**kwits speeding/racing on the roads.

For instance, my recent experience with a dickhead speeding and acting recklessly on public roads resulted in my car being destroyed, leaving me without a vehicle for 2 and a half months and $2000 in legal fees to chase the useless c*nt to pay for the car. How no-one died in the accident is a mystery.

Go to a race track if you want to "give it a squirt".

wow unlucky mate.

i dont disagree with what people are saying just a bit rich as no1 can honestly say they havent been in the same situation of a lil squirt here or there.. not condoning it just dont like hipocrites.

look, im new to all this stuff...birds, ill take you up on that...if u help me do it a legal way...ill keep it of the streets

I really hope that you do. Public roads will seem like boring places once you've been out on a skidpan. And you'll make a ton more friends around here doing things the right way. You can read all about DECA here:

http://www.sauvic.com.au/about_deca

Note that you don't need to be an SAU Vic member to come along...this is a popular misconception. Where people get sidetracked on the membership thing is that if you want to opt for a CAMS licence instead of an AASA licence (either one of these is required to participate at DECA) then you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club such as SAU Vic.

So at a minimum what you need is:

A reasonably roadworthy car with a fire extinguisher mounted in it

A helmet

$80 for DECA entry

$50 for a 12 month AASA licence which you only need to pay for once if you come along to future DECA days

If you need help preparing your car (e.g. fire extinguisher installation) I can help you out with that. Our next DECA will be sometime in late Jan / Feb from memory.

Hypocrisy doesn't negate the usefulness of one's advice. I could be the biggest hoon on Melbourne streets but it doesn't mean Kurtis isn't deserving of a spray for what he posted. Besides, if all we do is offer him advice to solve his problem then what kind of car club are we going to look like by ignoring the other stuff he wrote?

arl33x, thanx for stickin up for me...but they have acually made me think, i wanna get it of the street and go to the DECA days.

and bird..i would apriciate it heaps if you could do that for me, how much will it cost for a fire extinguisher and how much you want for installing it?

wasn't really sticking up for you as such i dont condone street racing but fark how many lectures do you need.

and yes dont race on the streets especially as it sounds like your wheels are going to fall off :)

good luck anyways.

Fire extinguisher; bout $20 from an auto parts store. Bracket material $5 from bunnings. They're quite small and we can mount it under your passenger seat in the front so that it doesn't stick out like dogs balls. You can remove it in 2 minutes but I just leave mine in there cause it actually looks kind of cool. Come to my factory and I'll help you install for free if you're coming to a DECA - just keep an eye on the events section because when the thread is posted there are 50 entry spots and they usually fill up pretty quickly (2-3 days).

Cheers.

If there's a fire in your car, it'll take you two whole minutes to remove the fire extinguisher? I wouldn't go to see Birds, Kurtis, if it's going to take that long to take out...install it yourself :P

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
