Ah really! So the rubber on my new rims will be ok, thats great to hear, gives me time to save for better tyres as well as being able to get on to Driver trainer sooner! :)

And I was wondering how good they were after reading a few reviews, people seemed 50-50 on them. But will check out OTR for these Hankook rs3's for later in the year. Thanks :)

Another question is where might I find small diameter wheel nuts? Gave a few places like Autobarn a call and they hadn't heard of them. I've seen them on ebay but I'm hesitant to buy anything car related off ebay other than gear boot covers and dash globes :P

I keep slimline wheel nuts or tuner nuts in stock to suit 12x1.25 and 12x1.5. Im in Moorabbin @ City Discount Tyres . $40 for a set with a key

I havent recieved my Cams lic. yet I guess Jan is a bad time to apply for one and hope for it quickly.... Can I have a club offical do the relevent sign off on the day? I have AASA but I dont hink they acceot that at PI

I'll be driving the evo, so we'll just be sitting our gear out in the open as well.

Track car off the road but can still track the daily lol

Might need to come see you about a set! Or do you do postage at all?

Timing is provided on the day. You will receive it at sign in (around the corner from sign in).

I'll be there to sign temporary CAMS forms if required. Print it and bring it, as I won't be brining any.

Garage's can be hired on the day, generally they don't sell out at PI as they are silly $$$, so you should be ok. Ask at sign in.

Can everyone please make sure their fire ext are within date, you have been warned!

I can't comment on the 123's as I haven't used them. However the RS3 and AD08R are good tyres. I find the AD08 is a more progressive tyre to drive on and generally you can lap more consistently with it. Hot lap for hot lap they are pretty similar, but the AD08 will be 2-3 and even 4 in a row within a handful of tenths.

Does anyone have a spare set of R32 GTR or 33 GTS-T rear brake pads they could bring with them tomorrow. Can be crapy used ones. Just something to get me through the day.

Will pay what ever is needed.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
