If you ran that trap speed with no cage in a jap car there is NO chance they would let you run again

nah it's just heathcote don't care, calder will tell you to slow down then boot you off at anything over like 130 or 140 i think

Hey Martin; you do a lot of traveling...

Thinking of buying a new laptop to use when onsite & on transit (planes, airport lounges etc)

Asus Taichi 31 - tablet / laptop hybrid ; easy to play with on transit

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/TAICHI_31/

Alienware 14 - most powerful 14" laptop ; more usability when onsite or at home

http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-14/pd?oc=w510772au&model_id=alienware-14

Laptop will be my only system at home, transit & on-site.

Better to get a laptop with more power to use at home/onsite or a laptop which is easier to use during transit etc?

Any other suggestions would be great! Although dont want to spend more than $2k

Thanks :)

yes they put you in groups.

they will ask for any experience when you say none they will look at the car and pick a group.

Auto Manual Stag will be in one of the slowest ones.

Just do the next SAU VIC track day Huy

At least you'll be driving with alot of familiar faces

And less chance of a random spinning out in an emo.

hmmm.... you guys think I'll be fine with stock breaks? 1 hard lap then 1 cool down lap in each run?

Think I might stick to deca this year before a tune and brake upgrade.

Don't buy a netbook. You'll just want to head->desk repeatedly.

Although that said, I'm a fan of the PC at home, and if going down route of home pc+laptop; laptops are fairly affordable these days and should be able to get a decent i5 etc. Haswell is out now too, so.

I'll probably buy an ultrabook of some sort next sem.

Always gotta weigh up performance vs cost vs portability... but $2K budget seems plenty to get best of all three aspects.

I've heard some good things about LBO horize ones which you can customize too. But name brands are around for a reason too :P

/Nothelpful

If you want to use on the move get a 13 inch ultra book

Personally I'm looking to move to a Samsung ultra book myself

If you need more power/ screen than an ultra book at home get a tablet and a home system separate

And no idea why ppl think I travel much!!!!!

They do Alienware stuff now anyway.

this. reason alone not to get Alienware.

Dell is probs best for cheap laptops because of "customer service" and no lack of spares. in the end, it's a laptop, it'll be a POS in 2 years no matter how good care you take of it (unless it sits dormant and doesn't have new things installed)

speaking of travel, 4:45 wake-up call for 7:45 flight yay. only going to Sydney though, so not as exciting. f**king swear flights to Fuji would have been cheaper *grumble*

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
