Might try and take my sisters 300zx, its just an auto but still would be better than an open wheeling mustang.

Dont think i want to weld it up as i know it will break fairly quick and as its currently my daily driver.

have to wait and see.

Shame about the clutch :( Most of the skidpan will be in 2nd gear when you get used to it, when your learning mostly 1st gear.

1 spot still open 5 days till skidpan ! :yes:

YeahI know, but the clutch is goone, I'll bring it anyway as I just bought some Potena re050 for the front andI want to see how they will turn in for the motorkhna the next weekend

1 spot still available to make 10, but you need to ring dereck at www.fifthgear.com.au to book in. No point transferring it to me at this stage, price is 99$

You guys looked to have heaps of fun out there in the morning! Was great meeting you guys.

The afternoon session absolutely rocked! The car is absolutely covered head to toe in muddy stained thick 'water'. Hopefully one of the staff at my work will wash it for me...

It was unfortunate that I didn't see any of my mates with video camera's like you guys had, so I don't know how it looked, but it felt insane.

No probs. Had a great time and was good to catch up with everyone again. Dirtiest I think my cars been after the skidpan lol. Given it a wash once so far, now to clean all the out of the way places lol. Took a few pics myself, will see if I can post em up later. Good that you guys had fun in the afternoon too.

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
