Don't bust a gut then mate, I can wait a bit longer. Let me know when you want the bux etc. Email or PM is good.

oops ......

Broke it already?

No, but a harness with the standard seat will help. $200 at Revolution but a biatch to install.

Pete....racing Sunday week against the HSV guys at PI so let me know where to send money and how much to overnight. I can survive another meeting without one but would prefer to get it fitted if it isn't too much inconvenience.

Roy is 100% on the money, but the great thing about the track is you can build your skill and confidence and improve every time you go around. Don't try to be a world beater, just have fun and keep plenty of air around you.

Yes mine bolt onto the hub and have a further set of studs in them for the wheels. They are more than safe in this configuration for pretty much any car and they have an alignment shoulder for locating the rim.

This site may help http://www.roadsense.com.au/ I had some plainclothes guys in an unmarked car in front of me going onto a freeway here in Melb. I could clearly see the rear dome lights on the rear shelf. They swung across both lanes on the slip road straight into the right lane (turning left off the road running under the freeway) so I held the left lane as one legally should until indicating a lane change and accelerated past once in the 100 zone at about 80. Once well past I indicated and pulled across to pass a truck in the left lane (this is a very very long slip road) so they raced up behind me and flashed high beam which I ignored. Another car was in front dawdling at 80 in the 100 zone so I pulled left again and breezed past before indicated right before the lanes merged and then onto the freeway, again indicating with every lane change. Then i see these dickheads with all the lights on going out on the painted traffic island then into traffic on the freeway then chopping the car behind me to pull right up to my bumper. I'm in the track car and think momentarily after I indicate to pull over that I should see just how good his brakes are, but not a good idea so i pull over gradually. I get the head in the window screaming at me that i can't overtake on the left and that I'm a fcuking dickhead etc. I then get asked for the license and asked full name and address so i provide it with my rank of Captain (Army). I get a response of "So what?" to which I respond that I want to see his badge and ID card and details of his station. He goes off at me again so I ask for him to get a recorder from the car to record the conversation and I then get told I'll get a fine in the mail for overtaking on the left. So I ask where in the state traffic act it deals with that offence, which I know is bogus (you cannot overtake on the left if there are no lane markers, but in this case there were), and that I will report him to Ethics for not indicating to change lanes when entering the slip road (swinging straight into the right lane across the left lane), dangerous driving when it was not necessary, failing to produce ID when requested and not recording the conversation. Then I advise him of the ramifications of these being reported by a military officer with summary authority powers (basically a judge and jury in one) under the defence force discipline act. He goes quiet, gets in his car and drives off, and I thought he would go get the recorder. After coming off the freeway I pull past him at a traffic light and give him a little wave, 2 lights later he starts to tailgate me very close so I slow down even further under 60 so he starts to change lanes and almost collects a 4WD so swerves back behind me. Note to self: very erratic and incompetent driving skills. The next light is red so he then pulls past after the other traffic speeds off and completely ignores 2 cars exceeding the 60 limit by easily 15kmh right in front of us. 5 weeks on, no fine and I'm pissed off as I want to nail this idiot but I only got his rego and no help from the Police with my inquiries. No credibility and a disgrace to any uniform. Time for a Royal Commission into Victorian Police corruption. My advice, tie up the courts and fight every fine until they realise their bullshit is not welcomed by the motoring majority.

How much do these bandits want this time. Well $125 isn't too bad, and screw the BBQ lunch. I had one last Maser day I went to and it is a full on buffet and I just wanted a nap after. Count me in.

Sounds like it will be an absolute pig to drive on the road with that low compression and a metal head gasket which would lower the CR even more, but only a little. Otherwise, I would expect a good quarter mile machine. I've used the standard gasket and GTR conrods with Arias forged pistons and have O ringed the block. The GTR rods are much sturdier and a cheap insurance and are usually a straight fit. There are a few sets for sale on the forum and you may just need a resize on the big ends to ensure perfect fit and is my only suggested change to your plan. Don't try to tap the head to locate the exhaust manifold studs but cut and weld the manifold instead. Also if you could get an Australian Falcon 80mm (I seem to recall) throttle body that would help from my understanding of such things.

Was interesting, but I think screw the novelty 3D crap and just do it crystal clear and full screen for a massive effect.

Piss off Shan....is this thing ever going to see the track...or my garage mate:D? I don't have enough flexibility to turn my foot in that far so have never bothered in the Skyline and have always used a custom pedal in other race cars. The current momo CF set are well placed but I have to raise the brake pedal or remove some play in the braking system as there is too much pedal drop and I contact the accelerator too early. It only needs to come up a little. This way feels more natural for me as my foot is vertical in braking and I just tap with the heel onto the accel pedal.

*sAfrican American* Lions for their fourth......... Let's make an assault on Calder Snowie, or is it short track?

Nah from the sounds of it it was just punters and a few wankers in GTR's I'll get owned by some, but I reckon there will be plenty of HSV and FPV scalps to take, and maybe we'll exchange a bit of respect.

Cool with that. They'll see we're amongst them. And my turbo is stock......on the outside. If I knew what was inside I'd run more boost. In fact I could have run stock and still made the same placing. Now for a personal set of sticky tyres. Shouldn't have blown 5K on a holiday to Koh Samui.

Thanks Snowy Mine's in pieces too, but it gives me a goal to work toward

Feel free to *ahem* edit mine then Snowy

7.30 is good. See you there.

Snowy, post up the sup regs........

Better make an effort and get there, so who is in?

So snowy posts a new thread to throw us off...http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=50670

Yeah Lygon sounds good if someone wants to recommend a place. I've never eaten there.

100W would be to much for low beam so get the 55W for low and 100W for high. Any updates on this?

I'm coming along and will bring the other half
