So ive noticecd some mention of fire extinguishers in the car in one of the posts?

Is this compulsory? or are you talking that IF you have a fire extinguisher, it has to be securely fastened?

thanks

Compulsory

Will not pass scrutineering without one

So this is just a Skylines Australis requirement? I was at a wakefiled speed off the streets track day recently with no requirement for an extinguisher?

Where do i get one from (cheap and within 3 weeks)?

Thanks

Most days with timing require fire extinguishers and is a requirement from our insurance

In my opinion it's piece of mind having one, could be what's stops your car burning to the ground

Supercheap auto, autobarn etc stock them on the shelf, usually only $20ish

Just make sure it's the type with metal strap and bracket and 1kg minimum

ok, thanks for your help. Nice to hear they dont cost too much

I got mine from the local Big W. It's the bracket you should be more worried about (unless you're handy with metal).

I got one of those 'evok3d' ones, bolt in, works great.

I promice asking the boss tomorrow about if im able to have day off, tax has cleared so entry can be paid, and maybe some coil overs and tires for the 32 ;)

Yeah ive had a bit of a look and actually the cheapest ones seem to be at Bunnings and the one ive gone for is from Officeworks! Didnt check Big W but too late now.

See you guys in a few weeks :cheers:

Just to be clear, your car WILL be scruitinered.

That means, someone will look over it for leaks, loose items in the cabin/boot, sufficient tyre tread, brake operation, battery secured (big one! With metal, not zipties!), seat belt condition and operation.

If you are unsure about any of these things, please ask, and/or get it sorted before turning up on the day :)

Paid in full. Sorry for late pay but have confirmed i am free that day.

On another note will my car fail for having rat crap in it, apparently parking your race car on a property is not the best storage :glare:

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
