In the event of a crazy accident I value the front of my head as much as the back of my head.

As a suggestion to everyone who carries an extinguisher, it doesn't hurt to practise using it. I would recommend getting belted up and then doing a practise run to see how quickly you can rip the extinguisher out of its bracket, pull the pin and pretent to pull the trigger. Even unbelt, grab it, and get out of the car with it in-hand.

I highly doubt it'll ever get used in a Texi day unless you have failing fuel hose or something odd like that... but personally I like knowing that if something did happen to my pride-and-joy, that I can reduce the amount of fire damage by being "on the ball". Honestly, it took a few minutes for me to work out how to pull the pin from my current extinguisher... it's a weird red "U" pin with clips and took a bit of force to pull the first time. Now I know!

Hey guys just an update for myself. Ah volunteering for time keeping, marshal and course set up if required. Have a helment to bring if anyone needs a spare. The blue beastie is sitting out this one. Also if anyone is kind enough to give me a ride in a R33 GTR or R34 GTR i wont complain ;)

damn this fire extuingisher issue has me stumped

bolted one in at the SAU nats that an exec had spare, does anyone know how to get the cool bolty in bit that goes under the front passenger seat rails?

I fab'd one up out of stainless.

Took about an hour.

Looks ok, does the job, and no extra holes in the car.

I just bit the bullet last time and brought a new extinguisher. Not to expensive and just bolted into the passenger side floor. I know you can get a seat bracket for the extinguisher that bolts where your seat bolts in, maybe try ebay.

no mods or fabrication or buying required (except an extinguisher with a metal strap)

undo the bolt that holds the bottom of the rear seat down and bolt the bracket in there. secure, no holes, easy to reach

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
