Turns out he was only sitting on the boot, still not a great thing to do on a moving vehicle. Car was not going too quick, fell the wrong way and it was all over. Poor bugger. You have to feel very sorry for the family too. Keep it nice eh people. :uh-huh:

Yup Tony nearly got it right. :uh-huh: The smart buggers at Nissan had this figured out. The Skyline clocks have a built in auto-relativity compensator. The system calculates how much to slew the clock to compensate for speed/time. The faster you go, the faster time will pass outside the car. It will seem like a shorter time to you and the povo clocks inside the car. Your watch and head unit would not have this feature so they will always be slow.

Did you get rego on the corolla? :eek:

The bogans and George.

The newspaper definition of "lowered for better cornering" would be the same as the "I chopped my springs to improve cornering" reason.

moved to NSW General.

For those of you who don't mind going in to a bank here is another way to pay. YOU MUST VISIT A BRANCH OF THE National Australia Bank TO PAY THIS WAY. Electronic funds tranfer for this event is not possible. Go to a NAB branch and deposit the money into: Skylines Australia NSW BSB: 082 356 Acct: 54 639 3766 * If paying this way you MUST attach the deposit slip receipt to the entry form. * The receipt MUST be stamped by the bank. * If it is dated after 5/9/03 then it's $15. * If any of the above are not done then your money will end up being a donation to the club, and not payment for the event, at the discretion of the Executive Committee. Without the receipt we can't trace the money. Hope it helps those without a chequebook.

yep time for a breather....

I have a resevoir of bad puns....

that's a remote possibilty....

gotta get in....oily....

yep that one was a real drain....

put a plug it it Duncan *boom tish*

Hardie Ferodo DS2500s (or Pagids are just as good I hear). Can't fault them. Work hot, cold no dust (well very little) no squeal. DS3500s if your only doing track stuff. Don't skimp on brake stuff.

Sounds like a good deal Ben. :uh-huh: ps. Thanks in advance for the research, this is just the kind of thing it's good to know about when it comes up.

lol, can you imagine the poor bugger's face? :bahaha: Europe somewhere is my guess, not England.

lol, with sensible questions like that Dominic you'll be fine. :uh-huh: Just steer clear form any questions containing the words "HICAS", "Insurance for my..." and "reset the ECU". :bahaha:

This may seem like a controversial statement: "You should run your car on the lowest octane fuel it is designed for." But if you look into what happens during combustion it becomes a bit clearer. For the best performance (be it economy or power) there needs to be a controlled burning of the fuel air mixture. This is dependant on pressure, mixture, fuel, temp., ignition and whatever else. By raising the octane rating of the fuel it will resist detonation (where the fuel/air mix explodes rather than burns), i.e. the infamous "detonation" or "pinging". Put simply, the higher the compression ratio (or boost) then the higher the octane rating required for the fuel. Now, if you are running 98 octane in your engine that is designed to run on 91 then all the fuel is not being burnt during combustion as the temperatures and pressures are not high enough. Therefore a reduction in performance will be the result. If your engine has a knock sensor fitted then it will automatically adjust the timing to suit whatever fuel is going through the pipes for the required performance. That's about it as far as my technical knowledge goes. Now someone please correct me if I'm wrong: The knock sensor is also called a lambda sensor and measures the unburnt oxygen via the oxygen sensor, right? If the system is a closed loop system then it can adjust the timing to suit the fuel used. The RB25DET (stock ECU) does not have this as you have to tune it for the fuel being used , right? Any corrections appreciated.

Sorry Paul, unfortunatly work doesn't permit for me. The limit of my involvement is this thread....

It means it's Made in Japan by Garrett a company owned by Allied Signal. Hope it helps B-Man.

LOL it's staying Roy! are you posting on the wrong site again? :bahaha:

nfi re. stud patterns, just seeking clarification from DVNT32. R32 GTS4s are also n/a. nfi re. R33s.

Sorry Oz I'll be taking the work vehicle out for a spin. I'll wave when I come past at around 4pm though.

is your GTS4 n/a or turbo? don't the n/a's have 4 stud?

The meeting will be held after the Observation Trial at the destination. If you wish to attend only the meeting and not the run then please PM Duncan or Kel for details. Please do not pass on the destination to anyone else. Thanks for your cooperation.
