So apparently I might be at this...

Later on in the afternoon, if we replace the last cone with a blow-up "1 metre soft-vinyl punching bag effigy" of our President "Steve-O", would you like to...

a) drive around him

b) nudge him or

c) *** him

???

:blink:

Edit* the blow-up bag is rated useable by "3 years+"

Basically, check the first post. CAMS is available on the day; $50 for L2NS (texi events, etc) or $100 for L2S (speed events like EC, etc). I got L2S and scored like $140 off my comprehensive insurance, so I was $40 ahead, winner! You'll need a fire extinguisher as well, Autobarn have them for $30 or so. I've used the bolt that holds the passenger side of the rear seat down as my bracket mount.

Scrutineering is basically to make sure everything's ok, fire extinguisher is there, nothing loose around the cabin, no oil leaks etc. If your 3.5" turbo back isn't too loud, it should be fine. Basically, as long as it's not one of those ones that people 400m down the street go "here comes that asshole again", you should be right.

Helmets... You can actually get them quite cheap, I got mine for $100 inc post with two spare visors.

Check this guy's stuff out, and make sure to measure your head if you're gonna get something from there. The dark tinted visor he also sells (not mirror) is quite good, too.

But by far the BIGGEST thing you will need is a desire to destroy tyres and do fast times :D

MCAS do cheap helmets that you can pick up instore. The bloke there thought i was mental wanting an open face helmet for drag racing until i mentioned i was doing it in a car :)

    • I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)
    • A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.
    • They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.
    • Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,  
    • I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
