S A U - N S W Texikhana - Queen's Birthday Holiday Monday


Recommended Posts

it was the only weekends they would give us :(

I know it is not good for the club dollar-wise, but I loved the Bathurst long weekend Texi.

Almost no-one there, and after lunch I finished a run, went to a nonexistent queue, and went right back on again after the guy infront finished his run. So epic. I think I got 30 runs that day and nuked 3 out of 4 tyres!

Also, here is my install.

I mounted the bar to the bolts that hold the seat to the rail, so the extinguisher moves with the seat.

Only downside to having it permanently mounted (although I can whip it out pretty quickly. heh heh. ;o) is that the black handle *can* get caught on my wife's dresses/skirts.

Wow nice job there Randy!

Mine is mounted off the rear seat, just did the same with the cruiser too! Can never have enough Extiguisher :P

For those with GTR's/ Stag's etc and are lazy/like pre fab :

My Car is a daily and I leave it in. You get used to stepping over it and now don't notice at all.

Thanks mate!

That's so true. I keep mine in the car 24x7 and most of the time i'm the only one in it so the passenger side is really the best place for it. I can reach it and release it with one hand, and it's nice to know that if there is an electrical fire or you go to help someone in a car accident that you have an extinguisher on hand.

Yeah the cabin of the 34 is small enough to have it in the passanger rear footwell and still have easy access :)

Mine's in the passenger rear footwell of my Stagea too, and even if there are people travelling in that spot in the back seats it barely interferes with foot room.

Sorry guys - got home pretty late from work last night and just crashed out. I'll do my best to get it done over the weekend - if it's not done by the AGM, everyone there will bug me about it until it's done.

Will see you there man :D

Does she still get surprised when it goes off unexpectedly between her legs?

Just paid and sent in registration forms. Just in regards to the cams/aasa licence... which one is better? I don't have either so will need to sign up for one on the day.

Eddie.

If you're only looking to do Texi events, go AASA - less bullshit and it's cheaper.

edit::

I should have responded to everyone by now that's emailed - I'll figure out numbers tonight.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
