Hey Guys i have a proposal for you.

I spoke to Tristan Catford (GSR/EVO club president) and we can hire the timing gear that is used for the time attack. There are 12 units and the cost will be $500 for the whole set up. it works out to $42 per unit. These units will give you accurate timing down to the 100th of a second.

If two people who are in different groups want to share them then that is fine and it will make the cost $21 each, and i will swap them between the cars between sessions.

It really is only viable if ally units are spoken for.

I will do up a Propper timing sheet and will post that up if it goes ahead.

Just out of interest the cost of buying the timing setup is ~$6000.

I am definitely interested to have this and i dont mind paying $42 for it so that i can hogg it for the whole day :P

They can blow up your motor for free :D
ahahah +1 :laugh:

well they are only replacing my clutch and not touching any of the belts.....plus i am leaving work early and going to see it getting tuned.....love watching the car on the dyno being tuned.....also looking forward to driving it with a bit more power :D

What????? :P

It aint great havin a motor blown up for you, hope it doesnt happen to ya, but if it did you wouldnt want me to comment how you did

its the final tune i'd be worried about :P

goodluck

go easy with the slagging of businesses guys....won't be the 1st nor the last shop that's had blow ups on dynos.

Best to keep that sort of thing to PM....last thing you need is a Process Server knocking on your front door.

well got the car back last night......the new clutch feels so damn different....the old clutch is what i would call it as FARKED......nothing left on it so no wonder it started slipping lol.....but i am suprised as to how long that lasted under decent thrashings.....oil cooler looks like its an awesome fit.....they only had to shorted one of the lines the rest were fine.....but no happy as there is still an exhaust leak which i will be taking the car back to AM to sort it out.....there is a boost leak as well.....so a few more things to be replaced and see if we can get a better result....making around 230rwkw but feels nice and responsive

ruby, sounds like u can help me be nige's pit crew then :P

Can do. :cool:

jk. sorry to hear about your car Ruby

Thankfully nothing major ... just a bit too risky for the track. Got most of the damage sorted now anyway.

I thought it was just a cracked front bar?

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
