Hmmm, I can't complain in life. I mean I do, endlessly. But when I sit back and consider that what i toss and turn at night considering is do I pony up the money for Near Life Experience 2012 or a Tarmac Spec DR30. Sadly there is only so much money in this world. I suppose I could flog off the Sierra before I get too emotionally attached to it. LOL, I go through this before/during/after each major rally

Russman has my old custom swaybars which are bigger then anything you can buy off the shelf. With regards to not liking to run Whiteline bushes in the rear end? What is so different about your geometry that bushes cant give you the correct alignment? Hell my rear geometry is just fine and I have fixed inner and adjustable outer bushes. Must be something different in the lengths of arms you have run

September issue_590???

Looks like I will be putting my entry in tonight. Just a few small things to fall into place So there is Ant and Snowie on Sunday, Richo...but anyone doing the Satursday? I want as many laps as I can get.

Yeh, I have a very basic rear end in my GTSt, not the sort of torque you have with the T67/RB25 but with 17" Semis my car doesnt wheel spin in 2nd let alone 3rd. I would bin the LCAs and even the upper arms, if you still have the std arms then just throw a bush set in them. If you want I can send over a set of upper arms with adjustable bushes in them that you can trial. Using std bits may mean your car isnt the quicket corner speed wise, but you wont be the slowest. And you can be assured the car will generally be well behaved. The slowest guys are the often the ones with all the stuff under the sun in them and as a package it just doesnt seem to work. Hell if you ask nicely I may even send over a spare Whiteline front swaybar for you to trial if you want

LOL, there is 12-15k just there

Well i think the best starting point would be to get a proper wheel alignment in the rear end since you have all those adjustable arms. From there I would also be replacing the alloy cradle bushes with Whiteline type bushes and angling the cradle. The reason I have never installed my alloy bushes is you lose the ability to tilt the subframe and i generally credit the power down of my car to this simple mod of keeping it simple. Also, i would throw away the bigger rear GTR swaybar. Either go std all round or get some Whiteline ones all round

What have you got in the way of diff, cradle bushes, and arms. You are running Greddy shocks arent you? What spring rates and swaybars have you got. Ride heights? I think we would all be guessing but if there was some in car video you could get an idea of just how throttley it is in the corners.

Watching the race again last night. It seems Lewis is playing victim so much that stewards are finally backing off out of pity/sorrow for the guy. In Japan he runs a guy off the road after driving up to a corner in the middle of the road and uses the ewxcuse that I was unsighted and didn't realise he was there. Yet coming up to a far faster corner where there is no opportunity for a braking duel Lewis has a go and cant get out of it quick enough and Massa gets penalised. Looking back now I think the call was far harsher then when I first saw it. So sick of Hamo and his BS> Used to be c0cksuredness and arrogance. Now its playing victim and having a sook

Great vid. You really have the car hooked up and driving it well. Did you get any footage of Winton? I am curious to see if I am losing that much to you in corner speed

CAMS Championship? Did i miss something? I guess that means the licence is a little harder to come by now vs the AASA just post off money and form ?

Out of interest...are you having trouble in 3rd gear? Or are you trying to get out of corners in 2nd?

Real mans car!

Thanks people. Keep em coming as nothing has been 100% right yet. Ideally needs to be blue and silver to go with rest of engine bay and needs to be hose clamped into a silicon joiner like ..

Was a pretty good season to watch. Will be interesting in GT3 next season, the GTR obviously works pretty well as a V8 rwd race car. Keen to see how it goes as an AWD TT

Well after enduring about the worst kind of weekend imaginable, it is great to read those sorts of comments. Champs! I have always said all the great love the taste of armco. I know its part of my annual diet

True it has a std airbox so the fluttering isn't really loud or that audible. Being a plain bearing turbo that is running 26psi I would rather it have a decent enough BOV that opens at light throttle and vents 8-15psi as well as it does at WOT and 26psi If Borg Warner got their act together i would get one of those thingie turbos with internal gate, bov and uber technology that makes uber power and response...all in one

Then cover your asses boys...I am so horny not even the crack of dawn is safe and i "comin r for ya"

Is it an R32? Details?

Hehe, I liked the sound of the HKS jobbie. Better then the sneezers out there Ran one for years Half the fun was so many people hated the sound of it. The thing with the Trust Type R ones is I have seen several on cars that have problems. Partly because like a gate they have diaphragms in them and they are sometimes worn and torn...but also they seem to have high spring pressure so dont open at low boost and seem to cause a bit of flutter

Gutted to hear Paul. But main thing is you checked out and all is ok. In happier news my friend Greg won Late Classic Handicapped by a mammoth 1 second. Nice guy and good to see him get a result in crazy seat of the lil 200hp RX7 http://www.rallyresults.com.au/targa/THC2011/LateClassicF.pdf

What gear and what boost? This is an old dyno sheet of an old tune...but paints the general picture. This is without en EBC, just straight off the gate with a bleed But generally speaking I make over 200rwkws from 4,500rpm and in 4th gear the gate opens at 4,000rpm

Will keep an eye out for a used Supersonic. Colour matches the rest of the engine bay and I suppose Turbosmart should be about as good as anything else going around

My cars are about as making as much noise as possible. I am not too ashamed to admit I am keen to have a loud atmo BOV again. Sounds like I will grab a Turbosmart or Trust Type R.
