Can anyone confirm if they were allowed to run yesterday with an open face helmet with just AS1698 but no :2006?

I saw some for sale at ALDI today for just $40, but remembered this thread saying 1698 was different to 1698:2006.

Willowbank's website says:

"Approved Open Face Helmet – AS 1698 min"

Can anyone confirm? The full face one got so hot yesterday.

All the boosts were escaping were they ants?

nah. Boost was there as the MPH supports that, but probably had some small boost leak.

it's about practice really.

A return trip to willowbank is in order Id say

why only 2?

Lost both my thermo fans, one spat a blade which broke the brackets and it smashed into the other one causing the power cables to beak. Only managed to to get it fixed after 4pm so I drove home while it was still light in case it stuffed out again, which it did. Plus I cooked my clutch :(

I don't think that was there when we fixed the coil overheat issue, I remember looking at the pretty pipes and I didn't see it and is quite obvious in the photo. I think it must have happened on the last 2 runs

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
