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:

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
