ok - now all we need is someone to provide us with details of what time it starts and I'll post a new cruise/prod race watching day.

I'm gonna work on the assumption it's Sunday, and will give you a call Sat evening to get a time, but if turns out to be Sat could you give me a call let me know mate? Cheers!

sorry I have been so slack in organising! My R34 went to FBI on Friday to have the stock parts I need fitted, but they have let me down and haven't got the parts off of their R34 for me as promised. So I borrowed MXTCY's springs and indicators (thanks Sean!!) to get me on my way. So I have spent most of today fitting the front springs and half doing the rears.

Anyhow, I am still planning to go to Mallala tomorrow. If anyone is interested and gets this post, meet at my place at 8:30am tomorrow. I will PM my mobile to those who expressed interest.

Andrew

yeah was a great day, but alas no GTR, which was a real bummer. The highlight of the day was Keir Wilson rocking up in his black Gallardo *drool* :P

The massive downside of the day were the 1,000,000 flies (fortunately most of them were on Ash though) :) Thanks to Chops for bringing the Aeroguard ....

I will post up some pics when I get them sorted out.

Kiers car was awesome! ive never seen crowds of people draw towards a car like that before.

thanks for organising the mini-cruise Andrew, thanks to Chops for the areogard, thanks to Ash for drawing the flies away from us :P

i got a couple of pics, ill post up later.

For anyone that wants to know Shaun ended up finnishing 6th outright out of about 30 but not too sure what he finnished in his class, he was following the other boostworx car (white Rx3), hell cars and a well phat 2 days of racing!!

well done to Shaun, thats a very tidy race car he has there. i would have liked to have stuck around a bit longer, but i really had to head back home.

was some good racing, i enjoyed it. nice & sunburnt today though B)

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
