Yeah but they may require an external tow hook because your car may be burried in a sand trap. I dunno. I know you can get external tow hooks - I personally dont want to have to get one however.

I've got a nice shiny red tow hook for mine, haven't fitted it yet.. You can buy them at Autobarn.

Yeh, with my wiring loom out im soldering in my AVCR scramble button so it will be 1.2bar then 1.4 bar for the occassional hit in a straight line. Problem is im In Adelaide with work, and not having the greatets of time getting al the parts i need and time to finish the car.

Fingers crossed that this weekend the car will be back on the road:)

For peoples info - as of last night there were 35 entries. So still 35 spots left but they are starting to fill fast now. So if you haven't got your form in and you are thinking of joining us then do so shortly.

Also - as a super new cool toy for those dorky minded out there - the WRX Club will have available a wireless up to the minute race time monitor for anyone that wants to bring a laptop along. All it really menas is that you will get to see the times as they happen rather than waiting for the print outs.

http://www.racetime.com.au/rmonitor/

will show a directory listing with two files - setup.exe - around 730k and instructions.txt.

Anyone wanting to have Wireless Access needs to download the two files - read the instructions.txt and run setup.exe.

For anyone that is concerened - the RMonitor system will be installed ONLY in the directory nominated by the user (we default to c:rmonitor for ease of identifying it). NO files are installed in ANY other directory.

They will confirm the IP of the result machine on the day.

Ok - we met a few of the people last night. Seemed a decent enough bunch. We even ran into our good friend Tony Peter (Black STi)

We covered the few little quirky bits of their sup req's.

Tow Hooks - skylines have hooks under the front of their cars. This is acceptable. Nothing else is required.

Shoes - its seems they are a little more fussy on shoes than most people. They like the shoe to at least have a leather upper. Either that or you need to have fire proof socks.

Extinguisher Mounts - the spot that many of us have used in the rear seat is fine. But they wont be accepting any plastic brackets - nor any brackets that have been attached with either pop rivits or with self tapping screws.

I think that covers most of it. Still plenty of spots left. Not long to go now - Im getting excited.

Oh - finally - if anyone would be able to help out with Flagging for this event could they let me know.

:P

A few points. They surely mean fire retardant socks as fire proof wouldn't fit in any shoes. Mine are cotton drill uppers over cotton socks (go the dunlop volleys), much like the cotton clothing I wear as fire protection and meets all other sprint event sup regs. I'd agree if the shoes were to be fire retardant and they were consistent with other clubs. What's so special about these guys.

Since the self tappers and pop rivets are out then I'm getting the chewing gum ready, didn't say anything about that. Honestly, have they taken any engineering advice on this? Most of us have just one seat bolt through the mount and a self tapper, so will that fail scrutineering? If I use hex head self tappers I bet they won't check. Christ, aircraft are held together with self tappers and rivets.

Flagging...their party...my money...do you think I'm going to wave a flag for them.

If I sound a bit grumpy it's possibly due to the amount of panadeine forte I've consumed over the last 2 days, but mostly because they are being unreasonable.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
