Ok - thought I'd put this in a new thread just to grap all of you interested parties attention.

Just recieved an email from Chris (event co-ordinator) that there has been some cancellations and they now have room for 8 more people to the HSV Day at Phillip Island on Sept 19th.

You guys still interested? I have to fax him the details of everyone that wants to participate by Friday morning.

Also - just to throw a spanner in the works - that weekend at Winton they are having an open weekend. The Saturday will be like the usual Fridays ($100 with 30min sessions between cars and bikes) and the Sunday will be another $20 Fun Day. No CAMS license required for anyone that wants to go to these days at Winton but you will need a helmet.

I'm keen to hit Philip Island, but I need to have front and rear anti-roll swaybars fitted and new semi-comp rubber =/ I've been spending too much money recently.. If the car isn't ready at the level I want it in time, I may go up to winton on Sunday for the fun day since I missed out on the last one.

Rubbish :D You dont NEED new sway-bars, you have them std. You dont NEED semi comp rubber. Sure it would be nice to have them, but if you wait until everything is perfect onn your car, you will never, ever make it out there. Hell id be there if my car had an engine in it :Oops: ...even though i have a shopping list as long as my arm of things i want, as opposed to need.

You NEED to get out there and give it a flogg'n :( Std, tweaked or heavily modified it dont matter :headspin:

That's good advice, and you're absolutely right :D

I'll see how things go... I definately want to get out on the track in the 34. But judging from my cars handling on fast corners, I'd like to get my whiteline adjustable swaybars fitted.. also need new race pads & fluid.

No way boy racer, Your car will be fine. I was eating other cars out there so trust me when I say your car is fine. If you've got any questions let me know.

EDIT : I also had stock pads and fluid.

You can get rb74 front, comp 2 rear pads and motul dot 5.1 fluid from racebrakes for just over $300 bucks. Mine are getting installed tomorrow by mate

Is that price from racebrakes directly? I'm also considering Formula Ferrodo pads for the front, they dont squeal as much as the Ferrodo 3000.

Yes, when you go there say were were quotes $145 for the front pair and $132 for the comp 2's. I think ferrodo pads need to be warmed up a fair bit before they start to work, not fun on winter mornings driving to work.

The best ferodo comprimise pad is the ferodo 2500's. They are the stock pads on cars like the AMG mercs. Great track pad for your usual "sprint" sessions but may start to fade if you do an extended 8+ laps in one session.

The 3000 are farken noisey. But god damn they work good! :D

So far for the HSV day I have confirmed:

Snowman

Emre

Duncan

Skylinegeoff

Attached is the sup regs. I will bring some tonight in case - but I have to have these faxed off by tomorrow morning.

I might try to make this aswell since i'm there anyway. Would have actually prefered to do the HSV day rather than the MSCA. Dunno if I can afford both. Are you doing both Andrew?

When is the closing date they speak of? Is it going to be $110 or $200???

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
