The discusion in those forums is meant to be location specific. With the volume of threads it gets a bit hard to wade through the ones you want to look at.

Nope, start with a higher pressure. I agree. heh, "aim for" and "hit" are two entirely different things :lol: btw Duncan, I'm the guy with the gunmetal R33. We shared the garage at E/Creek in june (I think??).

I disagree. Tyres should be inflated 2-4 psi more than normal road pressure. The reason you are getting a "4-6 psi rate of expansion" is the tyre flexing excessively and heating up. This in turn heats the air which then expands and the pressure increases. Running too low pressure reduces tyre life and increases the chance of damage to the tyre/wheels if you hit a ripple strip. just my $0.02

Track day and a Dyno day both on saturday. Check the other threads.

Come on people. Richard Colley just informed me that no-one has contacted him about this event. If you are interested in attending please get in touch with him. I will probably go down for a look-see for a couple of hours but can't enter due to other commitments. At the very least we should make it a cruise.

You cheapskate.:lol: s'pose you want one with tread as well? :burnout: I've got a couple of spares in the garage, give me a bell and I'll hook you up.:Pimp:

Chewbacca does NOT live on Endor!

"too close for missiles I'm swithing to guns...":D We just have to sort out the good old public liability insurance issues and we'll be taking members. We will post up a copy of the club rules soon. Did your car arrive today?

bummer Any reason? Here's the link for anyone interested http://forums.skylinesaustralia.com/showth...s=&threadid=820

You can use a simple webbing type strap available from car accessorie places, Kmart etc. The 1" ones work well. It's just to stop the bonnet flying up and getting intimate with the windscreen if the latch fails so it doesn't have to hold the bonnet fully closed. Loop it around a strong part of the car (a bracket etc) and through a strong part of the underside of the bonnet, adjust it down so you can just fit your hands under to loosen it later. MAKE SURE THE LOOSE END OR ANY OTHER PART CANNOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE FAN, BELTS ETC If in doubt get someone who knows what they're doing to do it. Check all the fluids and have the brakes bled. Inflate your tyres to around 40 psi (check with your tyre place for correct inflation). A fire extinguisher is a good idea. Just make sure it is securely attached so you don't end up with it flying around the cabin in an accident. I push it hard for a few laps and always give the car at least 1 lap to cool down. If you punish it, things will break. My stock brakes and pads don't show much wear after a track day. It's all about how you treat them. It may sound like a bit of stuffing around to get the car ready but it's well worth it. Everyone who drives should get on a race track. What do you drive?

That's why I've never seen the need to fit one

type "oil" and try searching "a year ago" and newer, some kind of glitch there. this thread goes into it as well http://forums.skylinesaustralia.com/showth...?s=&threadid=14

Soopa, do a search in Up-keep. There has been lots of discussion in this matter.

Good to put faces (which I have now forgotten....) to the names. Next time some one bring a texta so we can write our names on our foreheads Watching the line of 'lines exiting the carpark was a real sight to behold!

How big is the car park at the Burger King? That's probably the go. It's along Mona Vale Rd towards Terry Hills isn't it???? Sunday night is good for me.

Hey Shell!.......

Well seeing as they fixed the problem with the "homeys" hanging around at Glenrose Shops there's now a vacancy at the takeaway chicken shop tables for us! :lol: There must be enough of us in the Forest area to organise a meet, what about next weekend somewhere. Skyline Shops would be the most appropriate place of course but not much parking....Skyline KFC???

So do Maxima bearings fit front AND rear? Does anyone know? Shell, your car has done over 100 k km yeah? My mechanic mate reckons they should be done then. Prolly get mine done soon-ish ( 57 k km) I've got alot of tyre noise but lately I've been wondering if the bearings are noisy. No grinding sounds though :confused:

been there, not bad but Thai Garlic at Forestville is damn good, probably even better The Oriental in Bangkok is unbeatable

Next door to the Mobil, near Bantry Bay rd. 2/449 Warringah Rd you know where Winterheat(? the surf shop) used to be? hmmm, guess we're having pizza tonight....:licklips: try their Tandoori Chicken one mmmm,mmm

now where did I leave my lumber-jacket and acid wash jeans...:uh-huh:

My personal opinion is to have the clubs separated into states. The state clubs should all be affiliated and have joint events etc. from time to time. Every other car or bike club I know of or have been a member of is organised this way for a very good reason.....it works.

Good idea Ryan. Anyone who's been to any of the recent events feel free to do a write up about it/them and throw in a few photos. Even if it's just a few lines giving a brief overview.

'cos you must be blinking at the wrong moment
