Your on the money there phunky,,,no need for hi octane "sparco" expensive ones. Cheap crap supercheap and the like are cool,,but they have to be bolted as ADZ says as well as with big-arse washers,.,,NO rivets.

There are two ways to look at it. 1) is grab a cheapie so that you pass scrutineering and hope you dont need it. 2) Grab a more expensive unit just in case you need it.

The cheap ones would not put out my ass hairs after lighting a fart. Those that have had the misfortune of a fire know that the extra dollars are worth it, could be the difference of containing a fire until the big boys arrive on the scene and extinguish the fire

Yea Roy,,,I know where your comimg from buddy,,,but the little one won't put out my ciggy or your arse hairs,,,,are you still lighting your farts mate and by the time the big boys get to the car its maybe kinda all over. Small oil fires are easy but it can turn into a fuel fire which is the one I'm running away from. My car has a bomb which is what all race cars have,,,but this is basically a long winded supersprint.

if your cars is on fire drive to the nearest flag marshal

cause at oran..last people you want to rely on are the fire truck at a super sprint

your better off having a wet towel and a cool six pack to watch your car burn then expect them to roll up on time

response at a race day is diffrent though :( thank fcuk

Has anyone got a full extinguishing system in their car? I don't know the name of it, but I'm sure you know what I mean. Pull the cord and fire be gone :(

I've contemplated one, but gather that they're prohibitively expensive.

I could imagine it'd be a royal pain to clean... but worth it to still have a car!

Caroline from CAZracing.com, had her cams approved extinguisher explode on the weekend while driving

and it completely stuffed the interior in her series III zed. Not only the fabric but the electronics aswell. :D Carry a fire blanket instead. :banana:

sorry but I can't see any 1kg, 2kg or 3kg making any difference to a decent size fire. there is a reason commercial ones (and the marshal's ones) start at 20kg. Its nice to have but I will be too busy getting out of the car when its on fire to focus on grabbing the 3x .9kg ones in my car.

When i had mine i actually got out, casually opened the bonnet once the marshalls arrived, as i found out too late the mechanic had removed my extinguisher for his car :banana: LOL 2004 was a tough year for my car :D

BTW, our Lotus Elise HPE (Honda Powered Elise) is road registered and uses a STOCK JDM K20a Honda from a wreck with a 7psi Jackson Racing supercharger. The car has passed emissions tests like this and is fully engineered. We have now conevrted 12 Lotuses to Honda power and are allowed to run in ProdSports and Aust GT. Might even drive the car to the track on the road tyres. Is there a competeitors cruise that gets there in time??

      R32 GTS/GTST non driven wheel speed

      By Looney_Head · Posted

      Hi People, has anyone come up with a way of getting non-driven wheel speed on a R32 Gts/gtst? from what i've seen the RWD R32 didn't look to come with ABS, if they did i can't find a rwd ABS front knuckle anywhere. is it a case of putting a S14/R33 front knuckle on and then modifying the ASB ring to suit a ECU input frequency limit? or have people managed to get a hall sensor onto the back of the hub and pick up the wheel studs?   i've searched but there isn't anything that I could find.

      I was thinking about a hoist, the ceiling is very high, but half the garage has a half-height loft for storage and I dont think I'll even be able to jack the X5 up under it as it almost hits me in my 6'5" elevated head when i walk in there. And, yeah nah, maybe if I can convince Bec to let me get another car she'd be open to having as many as we can fit (cough @Duncan) but until that time you better steer clear! 🤣

      ['96 r33 GTST] Need some help gauging how much I should pay for a CD009 transmission kit.

      By ggub · Posted

      For the sake of cost comparison, I’m currently embarking on putting a new 5 speed into my R33. I imported a new RB25DET gearbox from Japan, which was about AU$3.3k delivered to my door. It was a very slow process (~2 months) and I got extremely lucky with the exchange rate. The twin plate clutch I bought was about AU$1.8k. I've also had to buy all the additional parts required to convert the gearbox from a pull type clutch to a push type clutch. Total cost is about AU$5.5k, so GTSBoy is pretty close to the money.

      Yeah, The Japanese had/have a problem with doing crap like that to undeserving shitboxen.

      I run a CD009. See my DIY for info on what I spent. 6800$ isn't cheap, but it's not terrible either.   Keep in mind, you'll still need the following parts. - Shifter relocation kit - Trans Mount - Driveshaft - Slave Cylinder - Rear final drive (This doesn't have to be done right away.) - Some new way to detect speed.
