installing.

I thought i would be able to go into the road registered category, but because the vehicle is 4wd they have put me in the main category.

I am looking at getting it chipped or boost controller and fuel line cutoff but then have to have a CAMS log book completed.

so i wont be coming close to the other guys, but its all fun

There's minimum weight, certification, and age requirements for the extinguisher.

I can't remember the exact details but my mate just got his from KMart. We pulled every single one out of it's box to see which was the furthest from expiry.

As for mounting it just has to be hard mounted to something solid, some people use wear the seat rail anchor to the floor on their passenger seat, etc.

cheers Ash. i cant find much info on this topic, searched the cams website and that didnt give me any info on fire extinguiser specs. the powder extinguisher we have has expired and we have 2 others that have been discontinued, so yeah next time im in k-mart ill have a look. what does your mate compete in to require an extinguisher?

Yeah the CAMS site isn't the best, it was for a super sprint at Sandown, so at CAMS 2S level.

Have a search around the Vic area and the checklists for track days, it'll be in with 2ndary bonnet restraints, blue triangles, etc, etc.

yer 900gram ones for about $30 are all u need and they need to be readily acessible so either under seat or somewhere else securely. and check the dates, as most of the in stores have allready expired.

Im Entered into the Hillclimb state championships, so come and say hello.

Still have to get my car log booked by cams next week though.

applied for my 2S license as well.

I was able to get into sports cars closed, instead of the PRC RAlly Cars class, so might have a bit more of a chance.

Hope to see you there.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
