Hi Crew

I know some of you are aware, but also some are not.

I run the Track Days for Sports Car Rentals. We run these days at one of the best venues in the country, that only the privileged have driven on. The venue is a 5.1km piece of bitumen, with 25 corners, that has to be seen to be appreciated.

Take note, that it is not a race track but a private road up the central coast.

We have a unique special to come and drive our cars this week if you are interested.

No, you are not allowed to drive your own car on our play ground....sorry :(

Contact details are on the link.

Cheers :biggrin:

\as long as they are not in anyway connected to sports car world rentals in melbourne.

they have a habit of taking your deposit on return of the rental car for fictitious tyre wear/damage claims. weeks after returning the car and theres no recourse to dispute..trust me i tried everything short of sueing them.

could be a diff company so hope im not speaking out of turn if it is, used sports car world in sydney quite a lot until a yr or two ago and didnt have too many problems until i was suddenly paying for new tyres everytime as well. A bit more affordable with MX5's though than boxters on semi slicks..

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
