Just some epic oil leaking problems - caught it before the engine starved thank god... but motivation has been extremely low lately to finish the car and i'm looking for a house...so the current thought trail is too pull motor+go fast bits--> sell shell --> buy house-->find something to put motor in

How's yours going? havent been on the threads very often lately.

I had a crook back a while ago

A proper remedial massage and was good as new

Yes we do need to get out one night

Will have to work out a date everyone is free

Your welcome

Oh and Newcastle council are well f**ked

Did the first delivery today ( a new roof ) and the home owner tells me that the council has had a last minute change of mind and will not let him put a new iron roof on as he has to retain the look with tiles

Pity as he probably spent around $6000 for the roof sheets and ridge caps and now isn't allowed to have it fitted

And we all thought garages where hard

are there any more spots ant? I think id enjoy it but I wouldn't get into it. I work with a guy that races and he said every race meet costs around 500 bucks each. from tyres and rebuilding your engine after every second meet etc to get the most power etc. can go to wake field for that.

hah don't you watch rally matt? half the cars are hatch backs the other half are evos and wrxs

Nah, you dont need to rebuild after every race, unless you want to win a championship. I race just for fun and times. It costs me on average $50 for a day, including fuel and mainenance, and after 4-6 days, a set of tyres. They cost $230 for a set of slicks. Its good cheap fun.

Like anything though, If you want to get serious, then it costs big money. If you want to just have a bit of fun (like going to wakefield), the its cheap as chips.

Honesly, Go-Karts are sooooo cheap compaired to running at wakefield. For one trip to wakefield, you could do a kart trackday every week for a month, including a new set of tyres.

Father-in-law and I just built a trailer to haul our karts to and from the track. It cost $150 for the materials, we welded it all together and bolted it to his 6x4" box trailer. Done.

And still cheaper then a $25k car damaged at a trackday...

Driving a car fast on track is good fun, and is also risky (financially).. So many things can go wrong and get damaged. Even wear and tear is expensive.


A go-kart is sooooo much fun. They are crazy quick, and the speed you can pull through corners is in line with proper race cars with aero etc. not to mention they teach you so much about chassis and suspension setups.


You should at least go to a come and try day.

Agree with you completely, thats why i got interested, tracking a car is very bloddy expensive! and you still cant actually race like you do in a kart.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
