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

Kind of related

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.

    • 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.
