I'm willing to lose weight to race :) however I fail to comply for HSV day :D  

Winton looks like a goer. Anyone going to Winton? and do you need an extinguisher?

I might be in for the fun day @ Winton on Sunday... there's no pre-registration, I think u just show up and pay on the morning. You dont need a fire extinguisher, just a roadworthy vehicle, and a helmet.

Are you having issues with the sandwich plate too ferni? So am I. Did you wanna PM me you number so I can have a chat to you about it? Cheers.

Apparently there is a design flaw with the sandwich plate on the early group buy oil cooler kits from Meridian.. the newer ones have been corrected. But because of the way the Nissan oil filters fit, the sandwich plate inner ring lip has to be ground back about 2mm. Contact Toby @ Meridian about it if you got your kit from there..

Nah

from the sounds of it it was just punters and a few wankers in GTR's :D

I'll get owned by some, but I reckon there will be plenty of HSV and FPV scalps to take, and maybe we'll exchange a bit of respect.

Adz, I told you to ring Toby and get it sorted. Listen to the stupid scottish bastard!

Ferni bought a HKS kit from UPI not our kit from Meridian. So just goes to show nothing is perfect all the time. Even HKS can be crap.

Looks like you figured it out Adz... its not my sandwich plate that is wrong, i think its the (4) fittings up to it, and as scottsman said i had a HKS kit fitted by UPI.... they said to bring it down and they will fix it, so hopefully no big deal, as soon as i can get my car back together... supposed to be getting a heater core tomorrow, so will be trying to figure out where everything goes back in the dash tomorrow night. Not paying $200 for a day at PI, if my car is working by then i might come and watch, or if anyone offers me a $110 ticket i'll put my car on the track, gotta beat that 1.57 the instructer ran in my car...

There were a few guys interested in attending this day yesterday.

My advise is if you wish to attend then give Chris Kelly a quick call and tell him you are from Skylines Australia. He's knows we have a bunch of guys interested and there was still room left on Friday afternoon. Tell him you will come along if its only $110.

For a HSV guy he's a damn good bloke from my dealings with him! haha. He can be contacted on the following number.

0419 003 529

If he says all is good I have the fax details that you can send your forms into. The more skylines the merrier guys! :D

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
