With David Owens Evo 4 suffered an engine failure on the weekend I was going take over his spot, but thanks to a re-design of the course with a chicane in the only straight a GTR is now uncompetitive so I'll be spectating... the Domain HC is now Evo and STi heaven.

Yeah a couple of us were talking about this yesterday, sounds a little gay if you ask me but hey they have to do something to slow things down i guess!!!

Funny thing is i think it will only cause more people to spin/crash and do more harm then good with the placement of the chicane!!!

Entry list looks interesting and should be an OK event but it wont compare to the previous years, the track just doesn't cut the mustard if you ask me :D

The previous indicent on that 'straight' was more to do with low performance driving that high speed... a basic TR7 is far from a fast car!

Guys,

I agree the course is far from ideal, makes one think that there must be some better roads around that would suit a hill climb. Would be great if there was a southern tas hill climb series over a few different roads.

Stu, any idea if this is possible and who would organise?

Anything is possible, its just finding the right bit of road. I would like to see the old Eagle Hawk Neck course get up again, that would be good for most cars. 500 Car Club ran that one. Dysart was another old one that I'd previous run at (also 500CC), that was little boring as it wasn't very technical. If anyone has a fav bit fo road that is anywhere upto 2k with minmal residents speak up!

Yeh, Im not happy about the Chicane idea. Ive voiced my opinion but havent got a responce as yet ! Seems to defeat the purpose a little if you ask me. Im told it will make for a change back to second gear. My clubby revs to 9200rpm so for me its back to first. What a pain in the ar....e. But I will still have a good day if the rain stays away

Yeh a new track would be great if we could find one.

Cheers

Greg

:nuke: yeah i know who crashed and i think it just comes to show that the people involved obviously look at it from a drivers point of view.

How long have they run the DOMAIN course and how many people have crashed on the straight (still got me buggered how you spin on a straight stretch of road :huh: ) but anyway its been done now!!!

I'd put my hand up to be in on that...

There are plenty of great roads that are ideal for it and i think a mini hill climb series would be awesome. Like i said i would put my hand up to do something like that and im more than happy to go and test all the roads :/

Thats going to be fun for you Greg seeing as the box's in the clubman's aren't all that user friendly trying to get back into first :)

I suggest holding it in 2nd and clutch kicking :rofl:

what about us poor northerners :(

Sounds like someone needs a :huh:

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
