You have to be an absolute tool to bump someone and vice versa. The day is pretty much everyone at their own pace and the fast cars seperated from the slower ones. People are pretty much told to move over for faster cars. All the track days I've been to I've never seen an incedent where cars collide, only close ones.

Bonkers, I've been sending you emails all along about extinguishers and the like.

I don't think that's ok yogi. The easiest way I think is to get a strip of aluminium from the hardware store, two holes, one at either end then bolt it to the same holes that your front seat mounts are using. So under your legs.

Then the bracket of the extinguisher bolts to that strip.

I've never seen an accident either. Also we kick the idiots off the track so as not to endanger you.

the only extinguisher in the small size worth buying is made by BFI. it's 1kg empty, 2 kg full. all extinguishers to be used in a cams event need to be metal, at least 1kg and mounted with a metal bracket. the usual torpedo shape ones people use have a fire rating of 5, the BFI ones rating is 20 so it will put out 4 times as much fire. i've shot off a few types and some of them are pathetic, the BFI one is good shit. so my advice is pay a little more and get one that will really save you or your car if needed.

my extinguisher is in the passenger side, near the end of the foot area on the door side, if that makes sense!!

fitted it in a few mins, bought it auto 1 a while ago

:)

i wont be racing, however ill try and make it down, if i do ill volunteer to be a flag marshall, however i wont know till a few days before

cheers,

chris

I just had a set of 2nd hand GT3 porche cup slicks fitted to my spare set of GTR rims, although they are suppose to be 240's they only just fit on the 9' rims. Lets see if they last a little longer then the last set of yoka's I had!

Cheater! Double cheater!

eek.. the one I have is mounted with a strong, quick release style plastic bracket.. It's definitely not going anywhere in a hurry, but is easily removed. Is this going to be ok or is it STRICTLY a metal bracket?

The plastic bracket ones should be OK but next time (!) get a metal bracket it is a problem with some scruitineers.

For those worried about making a hole in the carpet, feel free to check out the Zed's passenger floor....you will never spot where the extinguisher used to be :whistling:

i think we may have gone a little OT here. i havent seen the regs for this event (or even if it has any) so i dont think any extinguisher is required. is it? BUT to answer the question, in nsw super sprint series run under CAMS approval the bracket must be metal, and the extinguisher mounted within reach of the driver. it must also be a minimum 1kg dry powder type. the plastic ones will not pass. neither will ones out of date. neither will the ones under 1kg. but like i said i dont think any is required for this?

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
