Nah I didnt think of that, Im trying to clear up my loan as fast as possible, once thats done it will free up a heap of funds, So i may delay the cage for a while and run the car in supersprints / track days While I learn to drive the thing properly before I start doing door to door stuff,

Last think I would want is to wreak sombody elses car off, because of a silly mistake or somthing.

In other news I have the car at my house now, and I even gave it a wash, Just gotta wait for my de-cat pipe to turn up so I can fit the exhaust up, and not piss the neighbours off with a straight exhaust lol.

Question re: Bonnet pins, If I have no bonnet latch do i need to run 2 sets of pins or does 1 pair count as 2 bonnet restraints?

my reading of the bonnet pins was that if the car is road registered.. and has the normal bonnet latch.. it must have pins as a secondary catch... but if its unregistered.. then it only needs pins.. but thats just my interpretation of it.

have you checkd a price with riskgin?

seriouslt if you cant afford acage you cant' afford to race

by that do you mean a full on welded in jobby... or do you count a bolt in as a cage aswell or does a bolt in cage not count?? only ask coz im planning on using a bolt in.. the cages thing.. it confuses me.

A bolt in is easy enough for me (circa $1k), but a weld in is generally twice the price or more going off the quotes ive had.

Plus Im saving for a decent daily that can tow, so things will slow down on this build front for a while.

I'm sure Duncan will agree.

Don't go with a bolt in cage, save your money and do it once properly. I actually owe my life to a bolt in cage from some 10 years or so ago but I'd never recommend one for circuit racing.

I'f you know what you want pm me and I'll give you a quote to do a proper cage.

yeah look the difference between a bolt in and full on weld in is about $1k (esp if you get brad to do it).

It is a permanent investment in that shell and apart from safety will tie the car together much better.

Considering a single set of semi slicks or slicks are $2k+ a weld in cage is good value

It needs to be tuned, and im still trying to decide whether to have this one tuned or just wait for the RB30.

I may still run the 25 but wont be done before the SAU day, Too much to do and I dont wanna rush things to get it all done.

Edit, Also needs a new timing belt

Yeh exactly. Dont go rushing stuff. Will only end in regrets later on. Take your time and do it proper! :)

Thats the plan im sticking to with my project. I must admit it does get tempting to just go hard out and dodge it up to finish it quickly.

What sort of RB30 you planning on building?

Just the typical rb30 route, forged rods and pistons, maybe cams, nothing spectacular.

    • Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov    
    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
