hey aggroman, after seeing the wrap-up thread from the last Texi day how many tyres did you go through? I want to make sure i bring enough lol

as long as you bring 1 set with decent tread and dont run the pressure too high it should last

It's pretty easy to install a fire extinguisher, just follow these simple step by step instructions :banana:

I just got one from bunnings which has the holding bracket .. removed one of the backseat bolts (behind passenger seat) and put another bolt with a flat head through the bracket. Yes, one bolt is plenty ..there's no chance that thing could ever let go I've tested it :P

Anyone got a spare helmet for salezor ? I need one for a mate

btw paid just then and also sent entry form to the hotmail email ..

STILL DONT HAVE MAH AASA LICENCE!!! I paid $50 on the day at last texi and was told it'd arrive in the mail. I have a suspicious feeling it never got sent off or payment recorded because I paid like $120 (was $60 for texi for non member and $50 for licence) and even had to chase up my change after I was done as the guy that took my money in the morning wasn't even there rest of the day from what I could see (I rocked up early with a mate .. black R34 GTT with the creme interior)

In any case, I dont wanna pay for the licence again so could someone please look into this for me Cheers

There should be a fair few people there on the day who'll be nice enough to lend you a helmet... failing that there's some good cheap ones on eBay (i think i posted the link in here, not sure)

The payment is not an issue. But as its been said already, every form we have filled out for licences gets sent to AASA or CAMS (depending on what licence the person wanted).

Me calling AASA to chase your licence wont do much as im not the applicant, they will just tell me to get the applicant to call (as mentioned before by DRDOOF). However, if it will make you feel better, ill make a call tomorrow. Ill need your full name, address and phone number before i can do that, please PM those things to me. Thanks. :P

Also I havent heard from any organisers about helping out yet, help not needed anymore?

Sorry i didnt see you offering, help is ALWAYS wanted!

Come say Hi at the drivers brief :D

If they havnt got it, the best thing to do is to fill one out and send to them straight away, then call them up to check they got it, then PM me if they don't have payment and the club will send a cheque.

If there's anything else they want just let me know

New SAU:NSW - We've got GoPro HD's for Rent!

The club now has 3 GoPro's to rent out at our club events.

Price to rent for the whole day $35 + $5 xfer and mailing video on DVD to you.

You can bring your own laptop or USB Stick to transfer the files there to get the video immediately and save the $5 fee.

$5 is also waived if you buy the Photo DVD too. I can just mail the DVD's to you at the same time.

You'll get to use the GoPro HD with a 16 gig card (no, you don't get to keep the card silly!).

The battery will be fully charged and should get between 1.5 - 2.5 hrs. Plenty of recording for a Texi.

The 16 gig card will store over two hours of video.

The GoPro HD is a miniture action cam that takes video in 1280 x 720 @ 60 FPS. It is also extra wide angle (170 degrees) so you can

get all that sense of speed or see the whole inside of your car while you drive.

Of course since we only have three - first in and best dressed. PM me and I'll take the reservations and alternates, bring cash on the day.

I will give you some guidelines on where you can mount the GoPro with some photographs from the camera in differient locations.

It will have a suction cup mount so it has to be on a smooth clean surface.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
