You won't even have to honk when driving down Oxford street now

What will I say to that cute guy when he sticks his head in my window and see's my blue door trims. They are next on the agenda sweety. If it makes you still want to love me Pete I'll stop there.

Cheers

Neil.

That slab is not for you bitch,,,they are Jenna's for picking up my wheels.

Picked up my wheels and tyres today,,thanks Jenna for your help picking them up.

Roy seems to like them,,, nothing beats a bit of dribble.

If it weren't for Roy, I'd think you'd been playing with the camera and taking photos of RC car tyres :P

I hope these make it stick to the road better and lots more fasts!

Ha Ha yes I see what you mean.

That dribble is almost the width of a tyre so that makes it about 265mm long. That why everything in our house has either been slobered on or covered in dog hair. 2 Great Danes is double the mess.

So while the slicks are going to be great,,,I have another little problem. With all this shit weather we have been having and from all accounts we are about to get a whole heap more,,,what do I do about wet tyres.

Kempsey's round of the NSW hillclimb champs is on this weekend and they are predicting lots of rain. If they declare the track officially wet I won't be allowed out and it's a bloody long way to go for no fun. So I decided to buy some street tyres as my wets.

At a $100 bucks each I now own some shit tyres that will allow me to run.

Got this email tonight,,,shit we are all packed and ready to go,,, what a bummer.

Hi all, due to the Severe weather warnings for the Mid north Coast, it is with regret Kempsey Sporting Car Club is cancelling round 5 of the NSW Hillclimb Championships at Mount Cooperabung. We apologise to anyone that has been inconvenienced by this decision but the committee feels it would be fool hardy to proceed with the event. For those of you that have payed for entry's via bank deposits, if you can get back to me with your account details we will make refunds asap. For those that have paid by Cheque they will be returned in the mail asap.

This decision has not been made lightly and again we are sorry for any inconvenience.

Maybe take some solace in the fact it's not the first event this year canned due to weather.

SE Queensland is also due for a few decent showers over the next few days.

Hopefully they might be able to pick up a date later in the year.

I want to find out how good those Avons are.

Yep I fully understand why they pulled the pin,,, big red blobs on the weather map says it's going to get ugly. It was a weird feeling last night and today un-packing and not spun a tyre in anger.

Truth be known we only entered this round to grab maximum points,,,(it always has low entrys) and for us a bit of a holiday in the country. I hope they don't get another date actually. I have no holidays left.

The next 2 rounds (Grafton & Tamworth) will give a good indication on the Avons.

Cheers

It looks like being very wet over the weekend and it would have taken more than the Toyo's to get some grip it that much water.

The best thing is Cheryl gets to play another day without risking damaging her due to a very wet track.

It just means that we have to wait 5 weeks until we get to see how good the Avon's really are.

Ah Charles,,,one should not be worried about some little problem like water falling from the sky.

We drive Skylines and they love slippery conditions.

I'd much prefer to be in Cheryl in the rain than almost anything else.

Cheers

Neil.

Im following your thread and hope i can one day do the same...

Hopefully sau nats gets sorted this year, my yearly ritual so it seems...

You could always save on the work,,,money and blood letting. Buy Cheryl.

You pimping her out to others now? Shame on you Neil :P

Ha Ha,,,yes everything in this world is for sale mate as you well know,,, someone just has to pay up. I would have bought the Purple GTR from Canberra but Mel hated the colour.

Sooner or later I will move on to something else.

Cheers

Neil.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
