Hey all,

I have been approached by someone from the RTA to see if I know anyone who can help them by taking part in a short interview for their magazine Geared. The topic of this article is off-street drags.

Seeing as there's quite a few young people here who participate regularly or have participated in the past, I thought I'd mention it. I believe the questions will cover things such as do you enjoy it, what do you get out of it, what kind of car do you drive, what's your best time, etc. etc. It sounds pretty quick and easy. The guy did say it'd be good if the person could have a photo of them with their car. I'm guessing by this he meant if you could take one and supply it to him.

He said it's fairly urgent, so if anyone wants to participate please let me know ASAP, and I'll PM you the guy's contact details.

Cheers

Dude, Tex said "off street drags" ie. on a drag strip, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of "street drags" ie. illegal street racing.

If you still need someone and it won't take too long I'll do it. Maybe ask some of the guys who have posted in the drag combat thread?

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.

The guy writing the article has told me it's been put on the backburner for the time being, but a couple of you have expressed interest, so I will be letting you know if he informs me it's on again and he needs me to source a participant!

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
