lol your bro rarely goes to school?

Yeah, they badass. Wagging 4 lyf, yo. (My y12 motto 1/4 of the time, anyway xD).

Nah, it's only really if I'm free and for some reason my mum or dad can't take them. Considering it's in the opposite direction to both work and uni, it's never "on the way" :P

Haha can't wait to get out there but I need to get myself and the car ready!

I haven't had a car for a year so i feel like i'm learning how to drive again!

What do I need to do to get my car ready for track? Some things I have seen;

  1. fire extinguisher
  2. helmet
  3. mark battery location somehow???
  4. new brake pads for track use so I dont get brake fade after 2 laps?
  5. Engine oil cooling improved?

Help me get her ready so I can beat your asses on the track :P

ALSO I need a tune BADLY, running rich and getting <300km per tank anyone got any info for me? on price/contacts tips? Car has Apexi Power FC

I have some little thing which gives me readings between like 12.0 and 17.0 (rough estimates cant really see it while driving) is that the thing that is supposed to be hooked up to the O2 sensor? It's also my turbo timer. I have an Apexi Power FC.

I was looking at getting a wideband is that the same and/or better than an O2 sensor?

The guy I bought it off said it needed a tune, how can I tell if it's the O2 sensor or it just needs a tune or is it a case of needing both? I'm super noob i'm just learning now.

Should have an inner eastern suburbs meet up. Balwyn maccas br0s lol.

Honestly not sure if there are any exact ways to tell, but the engine light I'd assume could light up. The only way i knew it was mine was I put two and two together. Personally I don't know a lot about wideband, but there are some threads on it I'm sure.

Cams licence, properly mounted fire extinguisher, helmet & stickers then off you go

As for tuners. Chequered is closing soon so Racepace, Chasers Eastside, Sabbadin Automotive all of which will look after you and give you a discount if you are a financially paid SAU VIC member

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
