Ahhh welcome to the wasteland. Have to have another cruise soon when the weather is a bit more promising.

He was killed in the truck or by a truck?

Yeah not great weather for cruising, we should do Kinglake and surrounds sometime?

He was driving a truck and left the road.

Some good routes up there, I'd be up for it. However, of recent it's a known hotspot for the popo / yellow sticker people...so the more modified of us might not be so keen. Will have a chat with Tony and see what we can do.

Sad shit that, that you can be minding your own business without a worry in the world and in the next 10 seconds you're dead through no actions of your own.

These are the thoughts that bikelinesaustralia put up with everytime we ride.

That's what I said! Truck driver probably won't get anything either

So sad

Current brake set up is F242/Rdrums right. Should me buy brakes from vtec that are F262/R239 that'll be $500. Or wait out for Type R F282/R262 that will be 5lug (means have to buy new wheels/tyres) and would cost $1k for the brakes alone.

I wont be tracking this thing as of yet, but it'll be nice to get rid of the drums. Do some deca's ect.

Leaning towards the F262/R239 4x100. Which I can go pick up right nao.

take a lesson from all the old skyline owners here. Dont spend money on parts you dont need, Get out on the track/deca first and then decide what needs to be done.

Everyone falls into the trap of building track cars for a hypothetical track day sometime in the future.

Get out there now, find the limits with current setup, then replace to push the limit further.

if it was human error / fatigue i say put him away for 40 years cos that shits f**ked - shouldn't be able to wipe someone out and get away with it

Yup have a few guys asking when the next one is.

Will have to do one again, unfortunately got Winton & Haunted Hills coming up over the next 2 months, so just getting my car prepped for that.

But yes $2 Midnight Cheese and bacon rolls.

Haha I knew you'd say that...almost done.

Good call on the weather...deceiving shit.

can't wait til i am in le position in which i can afford both my car and a bike!

meanwhile in my current situation... coilpacks so expensive fffuu :P

You never win, when you are in le position there will always be more expensive things to get.

My r32 was better off when I was a student on casual wages. Now its all about budgeting & being serious with money :(

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
