Most go within 5000km of being tuned.

 

Mine took 100,000 or something so you never know!

[Krazy Kyle]

Almost due again for milestone celebrations like there were at the quarter million km mark

AS/NZS 1698 helmet is required.

My helmet is AS 1698. I contacted Motorplex and they said that they would not allow it.

I can't be bothered going out and spending money on a new helmet, only to go and make one/two passes at the plex.

looks like I am not going down to the plex after all. :(

a maintenance day would be sweet, but

(1) I think most of us (usually) have done all the little mods and servicing ourselves, so that all is left are the big things, needing to be done at our own places (given the cars need to be "taken off the road"),
(2) most of us struggle for free-time to work on our cars these days, so a whole maintenance day may be even harder to sort with a heap people.

When I said at Phill's place, I meant Phillmeup and not Boganspeeds house.

This way the car does not need to be towed anywhere.

 

But we can always go back to Boganspeed's house again

If you come down on the 2nd of march I will supply you with a Helmut. Have a couple spare. Long as you fit a large.

.

Anyone's place is good if it's got room. I'd like to hold it but just enough room for 2 cars, let alone 6 or so.

.

Steve, drags, 2nd of march. Prove what 300,000kms on the clock can do. Ford power

[Ralph Wiggum]

Helmut Schmidt or Helmut Kohl?

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Also Kyle where are you getting the KU31s from? Be careful that they aren't trying to shift new old stock....cause I thought they were discontinued and the ku39s were the replacement (although I could be wrong)....but if its only 2-3 yrs old it wont be so bad, as long as you're getting a decent discount lol 

 

so here's a noob question....how do you do a burnout on the spot without creeping forward? I was randomly watching some video where simon did a skid at a wedding and the couple were right in front of the car and he just sat perfectly and spun it on the spot for a little bit.

If the helmet was produced prior to 2006 it wont have that marking as the standard was written in 2006. Prior to that it was AS1698. So what they are saying is they dont like your 10 year old helmet.

 

Ask them to show you the ruling. Your helmet does comply with Australian standard. We dont live in NZ

re: helmets, ANDRA are a bit more forgiving (see below), but ANDRA does not reside at the plex anymore

 

Andra rules
1) a helmet rating becomes "out of date" after 10 years - eg: Snell SA2005 is now expired as of 31/12/2015
2) you get one years worth of grace on an "out of date" helmet, eg: Snell SA2005 helmet has a grace period until 31/12/2016
3) if your 2005 rated helmet is made in 2009, it is now "out of date" as of 31/12/2019, and should have the one year grace.

ie: with andra, it should be 10+1 years from the helmets date of manufacture.

CAMS is not so lenient.

[Krazy Kyle]

Neither is MA (motorcycling Australia). 3 years on a helmet and any scratches slightly more than cosmetic and bump bum, fail.

All 3 of mine are Snell and AS/NZ approved. And less than 3 years old.

.

Helmut. As in a mutt from hell.

.

Checked before purchasing, both less than a year old (1815). I've bought old rubber before. Makes a good tyre average.

And as for skids on the spot, depends on manual/auto, amount of power and brake pressure.
