So ive noticecd some mention of fire extinguishers in the car in one of the posts?

Is this compulsory? or are you talking that IF you have a fire extinguisher, it has to be securely fastened?

thanks

Compulsory

Will not pass scrutineering without one

So this is just a Skylines Australis requirement? I was at a wakefiled speed off the streets track day recently with no requirement for an extinguisher?

Where do i get one from (cheap and within 3 weeks)?

Thanks

Most days with timing require fire extinguishers and is a requirement from our insurance

In my opinion it's piece of mind having one, could be what's stops your car burning to the ground

Supercheap auto, autobarn etc stock them on the shelf, usually only $20ish

Just make sure it's the type with metal strap and bracket and 1kg minimum

ok, thanks for your help. Nice to hear they dont cost too much

I got mine from the local Big W. It's the bracket you should be more worried about (unless you're handy with metal).

I got one of those 'evok3d' ones, bolt in, works great.

I promice asking the boss tomorrow about if im able to have day off, tax has cleared so entry can be paid, and maybe some coil overs and tires for the 32 ;)

Yeah ive had a bit of a look and actually the cheapest ones seem to be at Bunnings and the one ive gone for is from Officeworks! Didnt check Big W but too late now.

See you guys in a few weeks :cheers:

Just to be clear, your car WILL be scruitinered.

That means, someone will look over it for leaks, loose items in the cabin/boot, sufficient tyre tread, brake operation, battery secured (big one! With metal, not zipties!), seat belt condition and operation.

If you are unsure about any of these things, please ask, and/or get it sorted before turning up on the day :)

Paid in full. Sorry for late pay but have confirmed i am free that day.

On another note will my car fail for having rat crap in it, apparently parking your race car on a property is not the best storage :glare:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
