You should definitely do DECA Greg. The 2.5 hour drive up there and back combined with a full day of high revving action is sure to end well

believe it or not, I actually made it there and back and did a beginner drift day complete with absolute rev smashing and didn't wreck the car until a week after!

Maybe you need to show your car hard love to get it liking you

I always found Skylines drove much better when you thrashed them rather than babied

They feel smoother and more licence losing

Trying to strike that balance between running down a fuel tank quickly so I can replace fuel pump and babying the car around so it doesn't kill the fuel pump, is a bitch

man forgive me for being so forward or if I've missed something but why is your car such a heap of shit? And surely it's not your everyday car if it's so unreliable?

i dont get some people (not you, well sort of.) who cant be bothered spending money on a licence.

"durhh i wanna do a deca or haunted hills, maybe do a track day sometime. how much of a cams licence?"

"$110"

"aww shit... gets pricey"

you just spent like a few grand on car bits ffs.

Haha yeah 'cbf' probably wasn't the right word it's more the spending money and renewing for one event, $110, $300 tyres, $120 deca etc etc

I'll have a think about it might come up anyway even if just watching / help time

Go at your own pace, don't worry about any other kunt, don't worry about who's behind you (easier said than done when you're one of the slower people in the group) but also don't be the flog who is painfully slow through the corners on his 1000cc then nails it down the straight and doesn't let you pass, only to hold you up with his unpredictable line into the next corner...

When you heading down?

Good tips! yeah I'll scope out the group think i'd do the slow-med to be safe not the med-fast group.

Heading down in September unsure of date yet (getting a voucher thing)

last time mine died was with a completely full tank.

that was a bitch to replace. previous times you knew it was coming, this one just stopped completely.

oh yeah price defs starts to add up. i see the licence as something you pay every year enabling you to attend an event whenever you can. though i understand people who wouldnt get enough use to justify it

I confess not knowing enough about electrical, but can someone explain to me why a submersible pump with a positive and negative lead running to it is never in danger of shorting or sparking and blowing up the whole car?

Obviously disconnect battery before working on it and turn on car / pump brake to discharge circuitry, but I still had a huge fear of something like that happening when I put this pump in first time around and started the car.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
