  1. Hooks, you can wear your Winnie shirt to the track day on the 12/9. See the other thread. Dino
  2. As advised by Tracy at Moto concepts the cost will be $120 for 3 or more. She will give us a better price when we get 10 people. Probably around $100, but I need to give her numbers ASAP!! as the last day was booked out. The names so far: 1 red900ss 2 Duncan 3 Mrs Duncan 4 Silver-Arrowz 5 haw001 6 MattY maybes: kjb_r33 (c'mon and give it a go) GTR-80Y (you know you want to) fatz (*sniff* it won't be the same without you pete) Silver's mate (just lean on him Tulio) If anyone else is thinking about coming please let me know ASAP so we can get the slots reserved. If you have not been on a track before take the opportunty to come along. It doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, as long as it is roadworthy. :burnout:
  3. Pinging, detonation, knocking are all the same thing. It can be very damaging to your engine. It is an uncontrolled rapid burning or explosion of the fuel air mix in the combustion chamber. Correct combustion is a slower "burning" of the fuel air mix. It can be caused by a too lean mixture, wrong ignition timing, high compression ratio, hot spots (carbon deposits in the combustion chamber that retain heat and trigger detonation) and fuel of too low an octane rating to name a few. I had some pinging and the guys at CAS fixed it at one of the dyno days by adjusting the timing. As for the numbers you are quoting, I'm guessing you've got some piece high-tech trickery that senses the detonation and gives you a read out????
  4. LMFAO :lol: Shell, no accounting for taste :shake:
  5. Am I the only person in the world who thinks the "bug eyes" look good?:confused:
  6. I miss you GTR-BOY (well I did when you spun on turn 9 ). Just lay off buying any neons for the next 2 weeks and you'll have the cash. kjb_r33, it's compulsory to come to a drive day and have fun. If you havn't been before we can normally get someone to show you the way around the track and give you a few pointers.
  7. what about half cuts? if we can get a front half and back half we can weld it together! voila! instant track mobile!!:lol:
  8. Hey Doc, I'm sure with my jigsaw, a hammer and a tube of liquid nails we can work out a solution. Heck, lets practise on the prelude! Don't you have a problem with the 4wd system and the different size tyres? or are they the same rolling radius?:confused:
  9. No, sorry, uh-uh, not possible...you already said you were coming Eric yeah no worries buddy let me know if you change your mind :burnout:
  10. Impul 25T, now where did I put that bottle of NISMO air?.........
  11. FYI Canberra peoples... http://forums.skylinesaustralia.com/showth...=&threadid=1935
  12. It can be air in the lines. The master cylinder could be on the way out as well. Have you checked the level in the resevoir? I bleed them before and after a track day usually.
  13. Jason, 1 Gold Star for bringing this to our attention
  14. Heh, I'll bring the X-Trail that'll stump 'em.
  15. Good, good...keep 'em coming people. So far: 1 red900ss 2 Duncan 3 Mrs Duncan 4 XrSiSt 5 Silver-Arrowz 6 haw001 :burnout:

  19. Well we could drop it from a plane/throw it off a cliff and see.....
  20. OK, soemone else third the proposal and we can bin this evil thread!
  21. I am talking street tyres sorry if I didn't make that clear. Semi-slicks and race tyres are a different thing all together. Street tyres DO NOT need to warm up like race tyres do. Different rubber compounds. "You do realise that a hot tyre is stickier than a cold tyre?" yep. Do you realise Street tyres warm quickly to their operating temperature and the temperature variation from "cold" to "hot" has much less effect on their level of grip when compared to a track tyre? " You are trying to get that expansion, created by heat, to warm up the tread surface of the tyre. " umm, sorry don't get what you mean by the expansion warming the tread? I run my Dunlop FM901s at 37 psi front, 38 psi rear. I can tell you as that this is the correct pressure for my car etc. Many slicks typically run at around 22 psi. I don't claim to know everything, far from it, but I know what I know. If in doubt talk to someone who sells tyres for track work (NOT your local tyre place ).
  22. Can I delete this thread now....it's a f***in' Camry people!!!!
  23. Moved to this forum...
