Rule 1 of Fang Artists: Don't talk about Fang Artists

Rule 2 of Fang Artists: See rule 1.

Apparently word has it that back in the day, they all had sweet rides. That is until most of them grew up and had families.

They still do the occasional Sunday lunch together and go to garden shows when time permits.

Haha, old skool :D Go the fanga's!! :mrt:

Clive, yours is the last entry i received, came through at 956 this evening. No other emails from you sorry.

Entries are closed. List is updated.

yep, resent it then after re-reading the first post and noticing the "*** Also, if you are mailing you entry" etc and knowing I didn't rename my attachment that way and guessing it was discarded.

new regulation I didn't see my bad luck I suppose.

Na mate, we didn't receive anything at all. The renaming was just a request so I didn't have to rename 60 files, I still accepted them. Only 1 email came from your address.

Thankyou Ryan, for the schedule and continued hard work with setting up these events.

Chicago looks great! Have been hanging out for a layout which had some good chicane action :whistling:

When are you ready to start accepting grouping requests?

need to learn the map now...cant wait for this to happen....also if one of the competitors wants to become a passenger, do they still have to fill the passengers disclaimers form?

Nope, your entry form covers that, I know cos I asked last time.

I like the first skidpan layout! Looks like a lot of sideway action.

The battles look like they'd favour high powered cars, get your handbrake turn right then put the power down.

THANKS!!! the way the course looks like ill be last for all of them...its my first ever trying to push the car in this way instead of just letting it rev out in a straight line...nervous and excited..wud luv to get pointers of some guys here of how to drive the car on the track properly...n thats y i am coming..to learn...yay...cant wait...

Two ways to drive AWD @ DECA:

- Slow in, fast out, smooth.

- Fast in, feint and/or handbrake, chucking her like a $1 whore.

hahaha...never done it...but cant wait to do it either...thnx for the tip...bnow just have to put the words into action...:P

Oh you Fu(kers.

I miss one and big red is there! Bugger!!!

And Ash, he's more of an amusement stand style attraction than anything else haha

Might have to come down and help out-I'll try and fit it in :P

Thanks, Leon helped me with this one. He will doing a lot more next year :P

damn.... look at the battles...

The only reason they look hard is because of the way they are drawn. They are not hard to remember once you go over it a few times.

There is no big red.

Two things also:

1) Please PM me your PREFFERED groupings. No guarantees.

2) VOLUNTEERS are needed!!! And while we appreciate drivers helping we still need dedicated volunteers! Drivers breifing wont happen unless this is all sorted. hence why we try to sort this out before hand.

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
