Do we have definitive photographers for the day? If so, can we pay them and get all the shots of our cars (hopefully lots) in RAW format or NEF or whatever, sent on a DVD? :)

Would love gorgeous hi-res shots for me to fiddle with to my heart's content...

I'll fibd out for you

Theres usually 4/5 pro's there taking pics

Pfft skidz?

Last time i smoked them i got told off! Should be called "Chirp on Sunday"

They just don't like your skids. My skids got me an award at last texi ("Best thrashing" AKA "Cassbo, please use this award as incentive to maintain your car") :D

I'm still trying to find out if Ill be in Sydney, bloody well better be, Ive got my "gotta do a skid" itch going on, trying not to hit the cones whilst doing said skids and getting around the course in a decent time is something that I'm sure will need some work.

hey execs, heads up if there is another payment for texi coming ur way under my user name. the name of the person its for is Andrej Zecevic.

and Doof, can you put him on the list? thanks baby!

You're a true hoon. Its not "burnouts cause my right foot got stuck sunday" :whistling:

No it's called "That's not a burnout... That's from my turbo seals being blown on Sunday"

hey there,

I'm a mate of MSD-00F's and probably going to come along for this.

Quick question: As far as secondary bonnet restraints are concerned, apparently its in the CAMS rules now that the majority of standard bonnet latches qualify for this because they actually feature two completely independent mechanisms. Mine is definitely like this. The first restraint releases when you pull the lever in the cabin and the second when you lift the little tab at the front of the bonnet. neither one of them affects the operation of the other.

Do you reckon this'll pass scrutineering?? I hear its basically up to whoever's checking it on the day, and they can be lame about it.

Also, "fire extinguisher in reach of driver" or something, would in the passenger foot-well be fine?

Just don't want to get there on the day and be knocked back, raging would ensue..

Cheers!

im unsure about the bonnet latch thingy as im still tryna figure out the same thing for mine :)

but yes the passenger foot-well is the perfect spot for it. most ppl out theirs there.

SEE YA THERE ANDREJ :woot:

At the previous Texi I don't think you needed a secondary (or tertiary as the case may be) restraint to pass scrutineering. I'm sure an official will confirm shortly.

In the event that an extra restraint is required, I have seen many ways that this can be achieved. You can use a belt, a bit of rope or go and make something similar to what I have... 5kfyn9.jpg

As for a fire extinguisher, pretty much any where you can reach from the driver's seat is a good location for it. Mine is located behind the passenger seat

Actually, there is a guide on mounting fire extinguishers. It might be specific to R33s, but it will give a rough idea what you can do :)

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
