do i recall you saying you had bolt in intrusion mate, what ws the comment from tech inspector, i tried to make a rule submission to allow sub 10 but higher than 9.00 cars aloud to run bolt in with 6 point as they do in NHRA, but i was told insurance company is what will not allow it so no point putting the $25 in to try. apparantly it has been asked many times in the last 2 years.

im going to have to go full 6 point in the next couple of months with the new package, not liking the idea of no street driving.

Yes I do have a removable bolt in intrusion bar in the driver's side, however the rest of the six point cage is fully welded in. It is ANDRA tech inspection legal when you follow the rules with regards to sizing, etc.

You can get a six point cage engineered for street use.

But you cannot get a six point welded in cage engineered for street use.

Best of luck with the BMW's drag racing.

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.

      For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.

      WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
