Cause we didn't have a 31. Cause 31 drivers in Melb need to get their ass to the track.

I took this photo and if you look closely you'll see I have added the larger numbers cause I didn't know if you would be able to see the smaller ones.

Yeah I need to egt out on the track again. I was hoping to come down for the weekend, but someone had the fun job of replacing an exhaust manifold gasket and almost all of his ignition system.....

I'm getting my ECU chipped, a set of King Springs Super lows, and a boost controller next month. Oh, I get my Slotted rotors, and my twin piston front calipers soon!!! And I'll finally be able to run some decent pads like EBC green stuff or something. :burnout:

So Team - whats the plan for the next day out?

Anyone keen for Phillip Island for 18-19/9? I know both me and Emre are.

The AROCA Day at Sandown on the 19th is sold out already. We'll run the same risk with the HSV Club if we are slackers! BTW - I do know for a fact that the HSV Club will allow passengers in the mornings.

Also - if anyone cares - the professional pics are up at www.sdpics.com

Im happy to put my name and money down for the Phillip Island weekend,  though i doubt i will be able to make it, but someone else can always step into my shoes...as long as we know the spot is available.

I am keen to take ur spotif you dont make it, and i am actually in freaking victoria on that weekend.

Do you require a special license for PI?

I'll be in for *any* track day organised before the end of October.

With the Phillip island weekend, its a supersprint right? I'll need to borrow an extinguisher and tie down from someone to put in whatever hertz give me.

I'll be there. Lets go for it.

Any one got any ideas how I can replace the rubber boot on my shifter? I pulled the shifter out on the weekend and it seems that the boot is made around the shifter, cause I can't see how it would streatch over the top of the shifter or over the ball at the bottom. Geoff you got any suggestions on this?

Also Roy make a date for R32 repairs.

Yeah Roy, lets get it fixed and dot the HSV/MSCA weekend at PI.

Chris, hunt around for a similar sized boot that will fit under the trim boot. Just have to stop the "bleeding".

Duncan, this Wednesday September 1 there is a NDSOC (Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club) meeting at the Whitehorse Inn, 5 Burwood Rd Hawthorn.

Ill be there for a few shooies and a schnitzel...we can discuss perhaps going halvies in another Echo if my car isnt ready.

Chris/Geoff im still waiting on the mechanic to get back to me about where i stand with my engine woes...ill call thenm again tomorrow. Im starting to think about how wise is it to use my old bottom end with another head...it is at least ripping th esump of my old engine and having a quick look at the condition.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
