just wanna know where the best place to put a fire extinguisher in an r32?

last time i took out the top of the centre console and screwed it down in the existing holes.

but then when i got the car scrutinered (i cant spell) they told me that i needed to use bolts not self tapping screws so in the

end i had to duct tape it to the side of the seat. And they passed it but man there was no way i was getting that out in a hurry if there was a fire.

any suggestions on where to put it?

Troy. So you took the job!

I'll probably be at this. Havn't given it much thought though.

Yeh, working between Singapore, Malaysia and Hyderabad.

So its time for the rwd boys to step up and blow my PBs away. We cant have them standing any longer or the awd boys will think we are soft :)

I have mine mounted to a thin metal plate that is bolted in via the seat bolts in front of the drivers seat. I think I originally saw that idea on here, if you do a search you might be able to find it.

I'm trying to get ready, waiting on some tyres if I get back and can get them on my car is about right.

Cool man. Are you coming to watch?

I'm probably going to be at this but I don't think i'll be getting near 23's! Maybe a 27. I don't have enough power for sandown.

Haha - well said.

Sandown can be tough on brakes, but just don't be silly. If you brakes start to feel different (fade away) don't keep pushing. Back off, put your hazzards on and keep off the racing line to let other past.

Flush the brake system and fill with Motul RBF, Motul 5.1 or Castrol SRF.

If i'm on the money I also only get one hot lap with my brakes. If you back off for a whole lap they should cool and come back to you, as long as your codriver hasn't completly cooked them??? Eh Adz....!!

My 1:23.1 was done with 234rwkws. Teh tyres were only one track day old as at Phillip Island the RE55s were brand spankers. I ran a 1:24 at Dutton in well used RE55s and the 260rwkws , but the driver was well off the pace that day due to enjoying whayt little Shepparton has to offer on Sat night :D

So 230rwkws shoud dbe good for a 23s ort high 22s if your tyres are up to it.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
