Well I missed today due to not having any insurance :( I thought they would be do Just Cars not do auto renewals?

Auto renewal without any input from you? even though they can adjust your policy with anything that like at renewal time? no thanks jeff...

With the last insurance company I was with (AAMI) it would just click over and the policy would just keep going year after year and it was never adjusted it at all. Guess its my bad thinking Just Cars would do the same :P Oh well ring them on Monday!

hey guys, yeah it was a great day. I really loved the cars setup and was having loads of fun throwing it around. got down to 1.55 in the last session. Just went one lap too many with tyres that were a little bit jelly like..............my bad.

the cams guy was laughing saying he has never seen anyone go off "that edge at Honda".........

car is at RPM getting TLC again.....waiting on the diagnosis.... hopefully not too bad.

cant wait to get out there again. Will be more respectful of tyre condition when power drifting next time.......

will post some photos soon....

Another vote for AD08's. My car has no power and weighed in at ~1265kg with full tank/no driver on the scales at PI but the tyres have been brilliant. Best I've used on any car. If I had to complain, they're a bit noisy on average country roads but then the car is also a tin can with no sound deadening. They even did ok in the rain at PI though I was too chicken to push that hard.

Have done 10 track days from memory and about 15k on the street, they're still going. Some of the days were 20 min sessions and I just belt them from start to finish without issue. Again, serious lack of power is probably a significant factor there.

I counted the laps from Natsoft which didn't include SAU NATS Mallala or Hillclimb days, nor 1 or 2 DECA's.

PI - 155 laps
Sandown - 18 laps
Calder - 37 laps
Winton - 27 laps
So yeah, they might cost $50 or even $100 a tyre more than something else but its well worth it. Tyres and brakes are the last thing you should skimp on IMO.

I use the plastic ones from supercheap. No issues with E85 over the last year.

Yeah I have a 20L plastic one. Sometime can leak if not 100% upright, but my whole car stinks like petrol when I put it behind the driver seat

Check the filler necks, quite often the top lip where the rubber seal sits isn't flat or true to the threads, I have found that giving them a quick going over with a sharp blade and taking away the high point and burrs makes a big difference to leaks and fumes.

same issue with my 2 plastic cans

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
