Thanks Darren, how could I forget my mates at Jaycar...I'll drop by ad check it out

very sad to see this; obviously he was sick for a while but no-one should be gone with cancer at 35

+1, first day out and almost no issues, I was stoked...excellent planning and work Neil. It did probably 10x 15min sessions, and no issues other than a tyre rubbing which we can sort out. Pretty hot in the afternoon too. the car handled very nicely, the front end grip was totally different to my gtr and a real pleasure. On the other hand you keep waiting for the power to arrive and it never does damn you nissan with your 7 pound of boost and little factory turbos I reckon Neil will get bored with 150rwkw pretty quickly....maybe he already has? Even so I would guess lap times 1.15 to 1.12ish. No timer on board but there were videos so I guess he could work it out from that.

Exactly correct Andrew, I just want to replace the factory stuff because one of them has failed. I don't want to go out of my way to buy crap ones, but I am just looking to run a factory system from the head unit i have....it will never have amps/top shelf head units/ additional speakers etc etc Thanks everyone, it looks like I should be buying 6.5 front and 6 rear (and perhaps should measure first lol). I'll go low but not lowest available price range

Excellent call....I have absolutely no idea why they have a clutch switch....there are no wired to them, and I can't see where it would be needed even if there was.

have you still got that rotten factory clutch line that goes halfway to the boot and back? If so, best thing to do is ditch it all and use a direct clutch line - or if you don't want to do that, there is another bleed nipple on the loop. You will need to bleed there and at the slave cylinder. Even then it can take ages because so much of the line is horizontal.....get the nose of the car as high as possible.

OK thanks guys, I assume from the replies that any speaker the right size should drop in, something like these would be OK? $80 a pair at supercheap

OK, so I have pulled apart a bunch of cars over the years, but all I've ever done with the speakers is rip them out and throw them in the bin. Now it seems one of the speakers in the rear door has failed in my car. How easy is it to find a drop in replacement? Will a $30 set from supercheap work for someone with wooden ears like me? What size do I need for C34 rear speakers?

Pete, I heard you've made up a story to pike because you were afraid to go head to head in the drinking?

hahah +1, great feature!

I'm sure you would both be very welcome, although it is too late to pre-enter. I guess you should bring a completed entry form and payment on the day, look out for Eric, Dave or Matt. Spectators are always fine

There are helmets to borrow at the office....but they are pretty manky. Best to post up in this thread and find out who can bring a spare

so, is it logged booked now? Ben, I guess Neil can confirm, but I think it is for anything and everything. But built to the current CAMS tarmac rally rules.

we need pics before we can be sure....

Are you running a PowerFC? If so it is detecting pinging and flashing the light as a warning. If you haven't moved the CAS, changed the boost or anything else it is most likely to be a dieing fuel pump, but get a mechanic to check it out. BTW no real danger running around at low revs/boost/load. Just don't give it some, pinging can literally kill a turbo motor in seconds.

It is cool. Any event where a hammerhead silvia can run is cool

Great to hear Mark....see you out there....

yes mate....they are just VFT

Don't worry neil you can always steal the wets from the tow car. Mark, haven't you entered? With only 25-30 cars there will be plenty of track time for everyone

you can't drink, you're pregnant! see y'all on saturday

clubman is a race license....whatchya racing, where?

really? I thought they used "spartan air"?

Interesting, I thought they had removed the "option" rules when they went back to CAMS....bring the details on friday

Yes they did And, it is just a poor choice of events for most entrants. Strange rules that don't work with any other events, very little lap time per $$$, and very expensive to get to the front of the field. Good luck to anyone who enters knowing what they are getting in for, they are providing a great spectacle for the crowd. But for mortals on a normal budget, why spend 10 year's racing budget on getting to the top 5? There are much better ways to get track time if you want more than 30 laps for your year's budget.

The wetter it is, the more you learn
