By the looks of the video footage I have seen, it was more of a powercruise cruise session rather than happylaps. Looked like quite a few were just trying to line people up to race them down the straights. Also saw people overtaking in corners and going 3 wide on the straights too, no way in hell will I be taking my car out on track with others being as stupid as that.

I was guilty of the power cruise line ups as I didn't realise this was a no no, but more to the point as my battery clamp shit itself was about all I could do for fun as if I cornered hard it would fall out. If this has pissed anyone off I'm truly sorry

Who would been keen for karting at Kingston in a couple of weeks time? I got a rally experience voucher from the boss for Christmas but am too tall to fit into the cars. However I am able to swap the rally voucher for karting ones at Kinston

Definitely keen for this :)

Lining people up is ok as long as you are sensible about it and don't hold up everyone else.

Geez you guys talk a lot of sh1t in here. Did you get home alright Brian.

Yeah got home alright thanks tony didn't get as bad as what it was engine is stripped down ATM lol do new coil packs this week and get covers painted:)

Ah ok, my mate begged and pleaded to come out on the track but in his hella hectic flush wanker celica that's as slow as my diahatsu it definitely would of held everyone up

The celica with the hella locked diff? Slow cars aren't a problem as long as they stick right out of the way on the straights.

Haha yep the silver celica with tons of camber. He owns that cammed up ls1 in a silvia... If he can behave himself ill invite him out for the next one :thumbsup:

When I'm at QR I drive fast. I don't pay $50 to cruise around at 60...I can do that in Toowoomba :) And when ya have 20 people driving fast there's bound to be overtaking and people a couple a breast at some stage. That's what we go to QR for....to let of some steam and have some fun.

There's nothing stupid about it.

Now harden the F up. Argh!

And for the record Chris, the most dangerous part of a happy laps session is the driving through tooowoomba part ;)

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

As far as the laps were concerned I never felt endangered at any point, I braked long before the corners so I new I wasn't going to plough into people and i Kents the sideways action to a minimum and new where everyone was around me... Great fun :)

Yeh lol I still reckon you're lucky it didn't all come undone and need a tow back in :P

Yeh same here - like I said, it was the best happy laps ever! The last one I spun out at....and at the top gear sprints I pushed her too hard too, but this time round things were freaking awesome. Couple fast laps....couple normal ones....keen for the next 1

Last hap lap I did Martin shot past me at 175 whilst I was in my wagon.

Bit of common sense prevails on these things. I may bring the 31 out to one at some point but once the 32 is complete it won't be going anywhere near a racetrack. So there are two of us that feel that way.

Already in. Just as long as I'm not interstate or Nat gives birth early...

My bro and I would probably be up for it Chris....

Gents, I've been to Kingston - those carts are pretty decent and it's all outdoors...plus, you get to upgrade to their really fast carts (twin motor) if you run good enough times.

So much awesome.

BTW Chris, you missed out on a farkin very happy, happy laps :) It made me quite happy indeed lol...if you don't come to the next one you'll be dead to me. :)

It was a three thumbs up Happy Laps.

Come down next time and you can ride shot gun. Or steer, if I'm feeling generous.

As long at his 4wd dosent kick in he'll be fine lol

I hate it when that happens.... Or when you compression lock 2nd.

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

BOOM! Self ownage!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
