I've never really been one for skids n stuff. Dunno why just dosent really appeal to me

...............(waits for flaming)

Always been more interested in going quick point to point, problem is I don't seem to be able to get fast launches right so I take of like a granny in a carolla. I need help me thinks

Is there a certain type or size of fire extinguisher we need? I'm unsure what a ' insurance approved fire extinguisher ' is, my friend and I both have to buy one - don't want to get one that isn't approved.

Cheers.

Edited by sweefu

they only really come in 1 size from places like supercheap auto, autobarn, bursons etc..

It will have a metal bracket (not plastic) and have a stamp on the box saying "CAMS certified" or "CAMS approved"

I picked mine up from supercheap for about $30 from the 'outdoor' section with camping crap

It's exactly like belting through National Park. Exactly

cheers N1 and Duncan, thats some scary stuff, too many track days has weirdly made me even more careful through those sections than i ever was pre-trackday..i guess it was knowing how easy it is to lose it and wipe out that made me never look at nasho/old pac runs the same way again. Still i dont plan on missing this thing and will give it my all on the day..well 8/10ths anyway.

Yep that is all you need to do at a place like this, and it really is no different to a tarmac rally. You just choose what you think is a safe pace - if you think 110% like you might on a track, it can be dangerous or expensive.

But if you keep some in reserve and show respect to the track and conditions it is fine.

There are very few places in NSW where you can head along a 1 lane road at any speed you like, no worries abiout speed cameras....so don't miss this!

f**k it, this place is too much fun.

I'm going to get the race car going for this.

Packing spare bearings? :P

Remember, I won't be there to make changes or check tyre pressures for you... :P

Thanks for that, I think I know what to get.

Trying to coax the missus to bring and drive the starlet.

And trying to convince her friend to come and run her mps3.

I'm trying guys, really I am.

hey why not....Rosie has brought her mazda 3 to a few events, and a starlet finished in the top 5 the first time we ran down there ;)

Indeed, bring the missus and her friend along. This event has actually been almost won by someone in a stock (but stripped) Starlet, but that's because Reece was driving!

And yep, that's my little sister Duncan's talking about. We both did a day at Oran Park way back when - I know I'm not the only one who misses that track... We were in separate groups, and she told me later that she'd spun the Mazda3 and went off backwards at Shell Corner, but she shook it off, waited for the rest of the cars in her group to go by, then got right back into it! With a bit of tuition from Duncan, she built some confidence and really enjoyed the experience.

Unfortunately, there isn't anywhere near as much run-off room at the Sutton Road Complex, so have fun, but be wary of your surrounds and be careful!

A couple of weeks ago Aldi had recently dated 1kg fire extinguishers with the double metal bracket for $15ea. Have a look at your local Aldi before trying supercheap/bunnings etc.

Also make sure you get one that's recent, or it wont be any good for cams events if you want to enter any later.

Please do enter the starlet, need micra vs. starlet battle :D

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
