Texi, Skids On Sunday, 5th September 2010

[Cassbo]

If you get lost or the course is too tight just do what the camaros did last time in the battles. Just make up a new line and do massive skids.

Quoted for truth!

hey all , just wondering if it would be possable to bring along my braket for my cam which goes in where my head rest is situated ..... or do i have to have all my seats including my headrests intacked ??

[Wacky Dee]

Nope

if you email off your form and pay the entry fee on the day everything should be fine

My only worry is the fire extinguisher .. I'm not sure if I'll manage to make a bracket tommorow. Oh and my brake pedal is kinda spongy but it's always been like that even after bleeding (was told its normal due to ABS).

[DRD-00F]

If it's safe enough then I'm sure the scruitineers will pass it

a few poeple have had video cams in their cars before so as long as it's not going to fall out and wang you in the head, you should be right

[BB81DO]

it goes in place of my headrest on the left hand side

so i dont think it will come out .............. will i hope not anyway lol

[DRD-00F]

Yeah I know the ones you're talking about, it should be fine

My only worry is the fire extinguisher .. I'm not sure if I'll manage to make a bracket tommorow. Oh and my brake pedal is kinda spongy but it's always been like that even after bleeding (was told its normal due to ABS).

The extinguisher needs to be secure somehow, that's pretty important.

[BB81DO]

thanks for that little bit of info man, cheers

if you're struggling to get your extinguisher mounted you can get ones from bunnings that come with a cams approved bracket for under $30. I just screwed mine into a peice of plastic trim that i can buy cheaply later if i sell the car. I've got an xr6t so it might not be exactly the same on a skyline but there should be some plastic trim you can use beside the center section of the dash (on the passenger side so you're not obstructed).

yeh i got my mine from bunnings... it comes with a bracket, but if you dont wanna screw it into the car, we also got some other bendable metal brackets which can be used to be screwed into the seat mounts...

or so im being told by doof i am technically just going to stand and watch as he does it all for me

[DRD-00F]

I'll be surprised if you're even outside while I'm doing it...

[~Anna~]

true... i think i'll go to the hairdressers....

[Wacky Dee]

LOL nice exchange .. can feel the love

I'll check out my local bunnings thanks for the tip.

If you own an R33, pop the centre console out for the day. There is two bolts under it that hold NOTHING in. Pull them out, the normal extinguisher bracket sits perfectly here and gets bolted straighted in. No drilling or cutting required.

i moved mine to under my drive seat , theres a bit a metal you can screw into , and mine is holding fine in there

[Melly]

nice ummm re: video, i'll have to burn it or something. they're in .mov format though, that ok?

Should be fine! Thanks!

[SECURITY]

are there any spots left? can i pay on the day?

regarding scrutineering, what if i dont have a washer bottle at all? does it need to be installed or do only the wipers need to be working?
