Yeah, back now... for a little while. Was over there for work, so not too much play. Its hard when everything happens at 2am! Little Blighters definatly stay up late. Did see (or hear) the scooter gangs roaming around.

Toyota Chasers/MkII's seem to be the popular choice on the island. Saw heaps of them. Stacks of skylines/S13s too, but most of them just NA models sold to US servicemen thinking they were getting fast and furious.

Anyone going to Calder for Gymkhana World Tour?

yep, got 3 cars heading over by the sounds of things.

Stagea

RX8

Evo 6.5 TME

prob going over on friday night and drive straight to calder for the show :thumbsup:

Yeah, my bad. I didn't think it'd sell out that quick!

Whats your plans dude, i ended up getting friday off, but i still can't leave till mid/late afternoon.

Are you getting a motel or crashing some random place?

I was figuring a motel or something, happy to share the love around :3some:

Figure we need to get on it shortly though, before it gets booked out.

I'll probably leave early Friday, want to get over there as fast as possible and relax!

well my wife is coming too, so i'm less happy to share the love around(unless of course she is asleep):whistling:

we shall have discuss the plan at the stagea cruise next weekend.

Give her some roofies... that'll give us some time to ourselves... :cheers:

I still have to work out who is coming with me, then I'll book motel or caravan park. Cabin is fine with me.

cabin close to the track sounds good, we won't be getting there until after midnight, but i wouldn't mind staying sat night too, then bail early for a sunday drive home.

    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
    • One question before I make a bigger mess potentially, do I need to undo the nut on the outer ball joint?
