Cause we didn't have a 31. Cause 31 drivers in Melb need to get their ass to the track.

I took this photo and if you look closely you'll see I have added the larger numbers cause I didn't know if you would be able to see the smaller ones.

Yeah I need to egt out on the track again. I was hoping to come down for the weekend, but someone had the fun job of replacing an exhaust manifold gasket and almost all of his ignition system.....

I'm getting my ECU chipped, a set of King Springs Super lows, and a boost controller next month. Oh, I get my Slotted rotors, and my twin piston front calipers soon!!! And I'll finally be able to run some decent pads like EBC green stuff or something. :burnout:

So Team - whats the plan for the next day out?

Anyone keen for Phillip Island for 18-19/9? I know both me and Emre are.

The AROCA Day at Sandown on the 19th is sold out already. We'll run the same risk with the HSV Club if we are slackers! BTW - I do know for a fact that the HSV Club will allow passengers in the mornings.

Also - if anyone cares - the professional pics are up at www.sdpics.com

Im happy to put my name and money down for the Phillip Island weekend,  though i doubt i will be able to make it, but someone else can always step into my shoes...as long as we know the spot is available.

I am keen to take ur spotif you dont make it, and i am actually in freaking victoria on that weekend.

Do you require a special license for PI?

I'll be in for *any* track day organised before the end of October.

With the Phillip island weekend, its a supersprint right? I'll need to borrow an extinguisher and tie down from someone to put in whatever hertz give me.

I'll be there. Lets go for it.

Any one got any ideas how I can replace the rubber boot on my shifter? I pulled the shifter out on the weekend and it seems that the boot is made around the shifter, cause I can't see how it would streatch over the top of the shifter or over the ball at the bottom. Geoff you got any suggestions on this?

Also Roy make a date for R32 repairs.

Yeah Roy, lets get it fixed and dot the HSV/MSCA weekend at PI.

Chris, hunt around for a similar sized boot that will fit under the trim boot. Just have to stop the "bleeding".

Duncan, this Wednesday September 1 there is a NDSOC (Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club) meeting at the Whitehorse Inn, 5 Burwood Rd Hawthorn.

Ill be there for a few shooies and a schnitzel...we can discuss perhaps going halvies in another Echo if my car isnt ready.

Chris/Geoff im still waiting on the mechanic to get back to me about where i stand with my engine woes...ill call thenm again tomorrow. Im starting to think about how wise is it to use my old bottom end with another head...it is at least ripping th esump of my old engine and having a quick look at the condition.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
