  1. I'm heading up on sunday for a look.
  2. Yeah if it goes half as good as it looks I'll be wrapped.
  3. Haha - yeah Chris has re-done the wiring for the windscreen on that car now
  4. Actually that was me. The car wiggled a tiny little bit - mainly through the steering wheel - when we hit some standing water and I wasn't expecting it - but at 200km/hr it gave me a minor heart attack!
  5. I don't see them. I'm someone who doesn't even turn the window wipers on when i rains at times. EG -
  6. Yeah heated. Since I don't even have a fan anymore I figured it was important!
  7. I run a serk cooler - never been an issue.
  8. I just put a magic windscreen in my car. Be interested to know details of other places to get them though as my current source (YT) only had the one and I wasn't able to find any other local sources. In other news I got some THC stage details yesterday. Apparently Barwite looks like fun as its nothing but 9's + 10's for the first 2.5kms! I really need to get out there and have a look at the roads. I have been told by JA that if you are going to recce Mt Buller tell the base office that this is what you are doing and they might waiver the $35 entry fee.
  9. The POV Files can give the same error message if the files/recording was stopped via any method other than pressing stop. Aka - if the power went off or if the card was suddenly ejected. But I was finding that the card issue was occuring occasionally if it was bumped around a lot. It seemed to register that the card was missing when it wasn't. Not sure if that is that same thing? But I did it a few times also when I pressed off instead of stop which caused the same issues.
  10. And Sparco's suit me perfectly. (I run the Sparco EVO's) So I think the answer is to go and try seats out and make your own decisons as there is no right decision for everyone on this one.
  11. Aren't you lapping it up on the high seas with Russ anyways Woo?
  12. My understanding on the clutch Mark is you can run any of the Nismo ones...
  13. Gearbox DEFINTELY does
  14. Caught up with YT this morning to pick up some old bits he had left over from the R34 days and he says the Super Alphabet is going to be ok abeit with a weight penalty which I thought was interesting. Also seems the Skelta's will get a weight penalty too and have to lose the S/C.
  15. Well just spoke to John and he said Jason is still coming on the boat tonight! But I see that there is now a little sub note on the entrants list of people who haven't yet been accepted. They include the Lambo's, Skelta's and PMS25 WRX's. And also a couple of R33 GTR boys - anyone from here on that list? BUT - they have accepted the NISMO 370Z so I guess that answers the 400R question.
  16. Right - so that means the ATTKD and 400R are still good to go for EMod Stu? I notice neither Lambo is currently listed on the THC entry list. As far as I know YT is still planning on doing the event (he's supposed to be bringing me something on his way to recce this week!) - is that just because they need to re-think their car structures or are they out now?
  17. Haha - yep. But then TW was selling his car, Deano will just drive whatever (not sure how his EMO is after the crash in W.A anyways?), Greg doesn't play anymore and the Mazda's aren't effected. So really I know Scott/Chris will be pissed but I'm not too sure how many others it will bother. But overall its a good thing for the category I reckon.
  18. Well these are the rules right. So this is why I'm not sure how the 400R/Z Tune fits. • An Australian based manufacturer who produces a minimum of ten identical vehicles sold and fully registered in Australia. Def not in this one. • A multi-national manufacturer who produces a minimum of 200 identical vehicles sold and fully registered worldwide. They didn't make 200x 400R's, and they only made 20x Z Tunes - but then they didn't make 200 N1's either. But is it ok if they make 200+ R33's and R34's? The other question here is IS NISMO considered to be Nissan? • A manufacturer who produces and sells a minimum of 10,000 cars worldwide in a given year can apply to enter a promotional/concept model provided three identical vehicles are manufactured. Possibly ok under these rules but would Nissan/Nismo need to be the entrant rather than say me? The following vehicle types will not be granted entry: • Vehicles made by one manufacturer and then modified and re-tuned and released as a derivative of the original car under another name are not permitted. Technically isn't this what the 400R / Z-Tune are?
  19. The 2 big ones for us are 3.5" exhausts and upper control arms are now ok. It's hard to fully understand the special vehicles rules. Does it mean Whtey will have to undo his 200K upgrade and go back to a manual gearbox? The type R was just as fictional as the Super Alphabet. I'm pretty sure the ATTK'D GTR is cactus - but not sure where the 400R/Z Tune stands under the regs. Are the Skelta's road registerable in Oz to pass the local 10 car rule? But we can def see the rule to permit the RX8SP - which I'm ok with as Mazda do help support the events. Oh - and I love the changes to the Showroom Class. I can see it really taking off now that 4WD cars are out and the limit raised to $100K . Madza 3 v MX5 v 370Z v XR6T x HSV GTS v BMW 135i v Audi TT v Lotus Elise v VW GTI. I'm sure there is more decent options. Sounds a lot more interesting than EVO v EVO v EVO v EVO......
  20. Y Pipe and Cobb have been sold.
  21. I sold it to get one of these. I needed a tow car more than I needed another sports car as awesome as the R35 was.
  22. So.... apparently in 2013 F1's will be 1.6L Turbo 4cyl cars (with max 10,000rpm). Guess we'll see a new wave of manufactures like Hyundi and Mitzibishi coming through! Only cool thing is the return of ground effects as well.
  23. Nice work mate. Watching that Vid brings back memories of last year. So wish I was there with you again! PS - did you find the kill switch limit in the Super Lights??
  24. The one thing I will add if going for a 5 or 6 pointer is to make sure the buckle is on the waiste strap. I had a harness with it on the crotch strap which means you ALWAYS had to run it as a 5/6 pointer. Sometimes its nice if you are driving on the roads or whatever to just run as a basic 4 pointer as the crotch strap isn't the most comfortable of things.
