  1. Are you looking for a good street tyre, or a semi slick for circuit use. They are a good street tyre. If you are after a semi slick the 15" rim will limit you, but it also suggests you have a light car. Look into Toyo 888 and Kumho v70a. They will be nice and cheap in those sizes too
  2. funny you should mention. the cima stops at 109 too....f**king annoying, I was seriously considering getting higher tyres. the stagea cruise on the other hand seems to be happy to go to a million anyway....what's all the love for modified commodores around here....no matter how much work they've done it won't count for more than 10% extra on stuff all which is still stuff all And my bet is there is nothing mechanical changed in the motors
  3. Yep, I'd love to confirm the nismo ECU will work with the Oz delivered car.....still trying to confirm (initial answer was no ) I had heard the same about the motor being under rated, I'd be happy for some sort of "overboost" kind of idea with a temp cutoff for safety. Also, the local branch of the Leaf club had a meet up on the weekend, a total of 7 cars and a round trip to the Entrance. Doesn't sound like much for those with a refillable fuel tank, but getting a bunch of plug in cars that far and back took some logistics. And a long lunch at the club. The trip up the old pac was pretty much the same speed of the stagea cruise the month before though
  4. f**k you're keener than me, once a week is bad enough. no point worrying about the cops....just set cruise to 113 and enjoy the scenery
  5. I don't see the relevance...whether it was beer and hookers, a boat in the Bahamas or just the rent that month, if you are owed money what matters is how you could get it back. And the best thing people who are owed money can hope is that he gets work in, turns it around, and makes some money to pay them back.
  6. As far as I can see he has to take on new work to make some money to pay back what he owes. I'm not saying the situation is OK, but where do you think any owed money is going to materialise from?
  7. no issue there....you undo 2 bolts to take the caliper off the hub but you don't undo the brake line. Support the caliper so it's not hanging by the brake line, slip the disc off, clean the hub/disc surface and slip the new disc on.
  8. sorry make that 3min for the rears, sometimes the handbrake drum needs to be backed off a little.
  9. rotors is another 2min on top of a pad change. just make sure everything is thoroughly cleaned with brake cleaner to avoid annoying squeals.
  10. ahh that makes sense....I got my replacements from Just Jap.
  11. I've got a 32 D2 kit on my S1.....never had an issue with em. Bob that replacement sounds expensive, have you tried a couple of places? In any case, at least you only have to replace the rings and not whole discs including centres
  12. Up at Mt Cotton, right? I'm not ready this year which is a shame because I'd like to give the place a go.
  13. +1 I use Jesse all the time. Cheap, reliable, excellent/quick communication
  14. yeah good on the emo driver for stopping, I can't believe others didn't. And no marshal got there in the 50sec shown on the video....not good if your car is on fire and you can't get out. Hope the driver is OK, that was a big one.
  15. Got a pic of your new setup today Craig.....looks unique I really don't have much to add for mine....I've had it for 7 years and the only mod you can see is the 34 gtr wheels and d2 brakes. Lots of other stuff on the inside tho.
  16. Great result, well done. No weekend ever goes smoothly, and it's the quality of the supporting team that get you through. Sounds like you had a good bunch there.
  17. Grrrr I give up getting it going on Win7/Virtual PC. I'm going to try and get an old laptop working again on XP, if not off to the markets on sunday to pick up a cheapy.
  18. Good luck Mik, I reckon you will find the tight stuff more fun with the diff in it.
  19. Love it What is in the small additional screen below the air bag light?
  20. lol I need new glasses. still...had to look too far down the list to find the good guys
  21. Ahh well no skylines in the top 15....I guess Evos are still the car to spend money on. I hope all the SAU-ers had a trouble free run
  22. just leave the engine running (out of gear) if you want to bleed it continuously. Just make sure you keep topping it up. Also there are 2 bleeders; rear of the gearbox and above the rear driveshaft near the diff
  23. a clubman can be a great choice....but don't forget most of them have about the same power as a pulsar. If you don't want an mx-5, you won't want a clubman for the same reason
  24. ahhh I've been a bit slack updating this lately! zero additional mods, the rims have been slow arriving and the secret squirrel change may not be possible which is a damn shame. The car is driven daily and needs a charge every 2-3 days. I have a logger on the power circuit and this is what it is costing, average of $0.52 per day. Also, the Leaf came first and second (Kel and I) in the June SAU motorkhana, so it is no slouch: http://saunsw.com.au/texikhana-10th-june-2013-times/
  25. absolutely. and that helmet report explains why here is the CAMS rules, section 3.1 http://docs.cams.com.au/Manual/GeneralRequirements/GQ05_Schedule_D.pdf
