is there an online place where i can check out prices of things like harnesses (no not ur ones denham i want ones that will actually protect me lol), bonnet pins and helmets etc

tried revolution but i couldnt find the prices... i wanna get some bonnet pins... some harnesses and stuff before i get on the track.

LOL, my harness work fine, i might use one at sandown to prove it. Will Scrutiny check for any labels on the harnesses?

I didn't think fuel itself will add any more power,  rather with better fuel you can run more advanced timing, compression etc. without encountering detonation.

Its the raising of the detonation threshold, which allows more aggressive timing / boost etc that will give the extra hp.

ie: If your car is tuned to run on pulp and you add a tankful of av or any other fancy brew you will not see an increase in power without altering your tune.

A car like Denham's has Enough Power™ so in a case like his the hotter fuel simply offers better protection to detonation, old fuel, weird load conditions, boost spikes, heat, blah, blah...

If you tune the engine to make the most of the better fuel then you are back to square one as far as "headroom" goes. If you are chasing more power then it is all good though.

sorry i put my life in the hands of FIA approved not YCP (Yum Cha Performance™ )

:D

Ni - sounds stupid but I was told on Sunday by Ron that Autobarn currently have some FIA Approved - dated until 2009 - 3" - 4 point Harness for sale for $399 that looked really good. Can't tell you much else about them however.

LOL... hell i plan on driving around without my seatbelt or harnesses done up.

If i crash i dont want to walk away, actually it woudlnt be a bad way to go. Just remember to try and salvage my semi slicks as someone else might be able to use then in an afternoon session :cheers:

If you lunatics start running $4-8/L fuel then the days will soon get mighty expensive. I one tried VP racing fuel (110 for 20L), made no performance difference without the retune.

It did run cooler and idle way smoother, but stuff all performance difference...but hey knock yoursleves out, actually you will knock the birds out of the trees as you all drive by :)

Fancy fuel or not BRI-58Y is still gonna blow the door off all of you. (I think Nige has put some C4 in the boot :Bang:

Roy - you an add:

benjamin74 and Emre (the 2530 R33 GTR twins) to the list. Its going to be one hell of a skylines presence! lol  

Maybe we can hold ou own track days!

Kool thats 11:) If we can get another 4 or 5 cars then this will truly be a trackday of extraordinary magnitude! :D

New SAU - NSW Policy to be applied for all SAU- Vic events, cheaters with 4wd are not allowed to run cheater tyres, unfair traction advantage :flamed:

oooooooooo i was wrong i do get paid bfore then!

hmmmmmmmmm i'll download the form... if i cant get there in the ceffy and we still have the soarer i'll use that :D

Don't panic about the noise - they take the tests from 50m away. Trust me - have you ever heard a full blown 69 Mustang with a 7L Donk go past at full revs? Makes an import sound damn quiet. And there are 2 that race on these days noproblems.

Basically if you have an exhaust you will be right. You won't get done for noise.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
