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:

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
