i think chubbs or cassbo posted this once.. i meant to do it in my intro-to-texi thread but forgot.. over and over. next time i see my liner is sunday though, so can't take pics before! arg

:P

That was a long next day :D

Any who, I took some pics as evil_weevil's ones have stopped working. Figure I might also do a bit of instruction while I'm at it.

Step 1.

Go to your local Autobarn / Supercheap / Repco / where ever. Take a look at what fire extinguishers they have. You are looking for 3 things

1. Over 0.9 kgs

2. AS1841.5 sticker

3. Pressure still in the "green"

4. Comes with a bracket.

Here are some pics of what I mean.

I bought my extinguisher for around $30 so I imagine that yours will cost a similar amount.

Step 2.

Pull the extinguisher out of the box and separate the bracket from the extinguisher.

Step 3.

Drill the mounting hole furthest from the bracket's latch out to at least 8mm. I drilled mine out to 9mm to give me some margin to play with when I finally mount it.

EDIT

Be careful when drilling as the drill can grab the thin metal of the bracket and force it out of your hands, usually giving a good gouge in the process. Use a vice or stand on the bracket like I did lol

Step 4.

Undo the bolt that holds down the passenger side of the rear seat.

Step 5.

Bolt bracket to rear seat mounting point.

Step 6.

Put extinguisher into bracket

Step 7.

Rip skids

Ian,

All good to turn up whenever you want through the day, and taking photos from the sidelines is fine. We have the photographers that can move about the place, and get closer shots; with their gear, we offer the service for people who want professional-type photos of their cars; they're frigging good at what they do :) I don't think you'd annoy anyone taking your own pics from the sides.

If you want to actually be a passenger in a car, you'll need ankle to wrist clothing, a helmet, and sign a short waiver that says you understand the risks of motorsports. Having said that though... It's a wide open pad with no trees or banks or anything :)

that being said, make sure you bring some church change on the day incase you feel like a feed/drink as theirs no atm's around the joint..

Thats one way to look at it, the other way is this; There is only one other location we could use for this in the whole of Sydney, it's overpriced and small. Where we go, there is a great relationship between club and venue, screamer pipes and therefore noise complaints from residents wouldnt help that cause and given this venue is booked every day of the year they dont need SAU's business so we do everything we can to not be a problem to deal with for venue management.

If it didnt have to be that way, i'd be all for it

if there still space u can enter long.

im buying one already with bracket from another member and im gonan fit it on the day.

There is a Super Cheap on richmond road blacktown (if yu get off the M4 at Blacktown reserviour road exit you'll drive past it)

There is a Super Cheap in Bella Vista Homemaker Center old windsor rd. (If you get off the M2 at seven hills you'll drive past it)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
