Heya guys, who's going out to mallala this weekend?

I have been waiting on my new slotted rotors but no luck :blink: does anyone know where i can get some new ones (cheap) before saturday?

I am fairly strapped for cash as I've already bought some which are on their way but wont be here till late next week... and that's no good.

Got qfm a1rm pads waiting to go in with rotors too. Fire extinguisher ready to go in.

Anything else i need? Cams approved battery & tow stickers?

got the money for coils sitting here, just waiting on funds for arms, swaybars, and coolers, rotors and pads have been ordered. *might* need a new transmission, and i wouldnt mind a new diff though...

Love to go out but the car STILL won't be ready :blink: As for the rotors, have you ordered them yet? If not my mate MAY be able to hook you up with some at a half decent price...

I have already paid for mine but as i said they wont be here till late next week so I'm looking to buy some locally if they're available... need a full set (front + rear)

Have got my coil packs sitting here ready to be put in, as well as BA falcon thermo fans.

Should be able to have everything in before Sat, but getting parts is a problem.

geez by the sounds marko you got it all happening mate

my car is way way far from being on the track

so need to just start doing some serious mods and shit yo lol

so you got that missfiring issure sorted out

BTW is it a grip or drift day?????

Its a grip day.

Yeah i got vy commie coil packs waiting to go in, should fix the misfiring. Its a cheap fix over splitfires but should work till i save up for some decent gear. They're said to handle up to 28psi boost which is nowhere near what I'm running so I'm hoping it works out.

Whats wrong with your car? Mines worse than yours + auto :)

id stick with the vy coilpacks marko, im assuming theyre a waste spark setup? holden coils cost fark all and will be less prone to fail given that theyre not sitting 'in' the engine like nissan/splitfire/superspark coils.

haha you told me bout em hey? yeh its the waste spark setup ones, ill give em a go and see what theyre like... if they hold up might end up sticking with it. They cost me $65 brand new for the whole set (procomp) off ebay. They look and feel quality made, will see how they go.

haha, yeah, it probably was, cant remember much of that day. :)

seen quite a few cars converted to commodore/au falcon coilpack setups, and all of them have taken whatever abuse was thrown at them. the biggest killer of coilpacks is heat, and with the ability to mount the commodore packs away from the engine and heatshield them, they'll last forever.

VERY interested, have never been out to the track before (except for 2 laps as Jim Richard's passenger in his Porsche GT2).

The link provided gives info about drift sessions, is it the same for grip? Do I need tow and battery triangles (actually already got some just need to stick them on)

And WTF is a Cams approved helmet?

How much track time do you actually get?

More info much appreciated :sick:

CAMS Approved helmets are pretty much any approved motorbike helmets you can buy from reputable shops. You wont need triangles for practice sessions.

You get a fair bit of track time for your money, i can't remember how much, i think 30 min sessions? and approximately 5 sessions

And Drift and Grip are held on different days, bikes, carts, cars are held on one day, drift is held separately.

^^ Thanks heaps for the info mate, there are Australian regulations approved helmets on ebay for for $50... will they do?

Here's one:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ADULT-Full-Face-Mot...%3A1|240%3A1318

I'd probably go if i can get a helmet in time but wouldn't be out there for a full 2 hours or anything, my stock breaks already fade after some time in the hills, I don't think my car would handle that kind of punishment.

Anyone got any advice on taking a near stocker to the track? Is this a bad idea?

I've got the normal bolt ons for power, HKS coilovers, that's it.

the helmet must comply to one or more of the following standards for CAMS use:

AS1698 Australian standard

Snell SA95, SA2000, SA2005 USA standard

SFI Spec 31.1, 31.2, 31.1A, 31.2A USA standard

SFI Spec 24.1 - see Note (i)(d) USA standard

E22 (with 03, 04 or 05 amendments) European standard

BS 6658-85 Type A and A/FR (incl. amendments) British standard

8860-2004 FIA standard

so yep, that helmet should be fine.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
