G'day all,

Just thought I'd let you know of an upcoming car event which might be of interest to some and looks to be a great weekend away.

Safe Drive Training are running an event named "State of Origin Grudge Match" and is basically an event similar to Dutton Rallies and Indy Rally and targeted at car enthusists from both Queensland and New South Wales. This all happens at the best possible time being right in the middle of the Rugby League State of Origin so plenty of rivalry going on and pride at stake. The event is made up of numerous speed tests such as motorkhanas, hillclimbs, skidpan and straight line sprints and entry fees include accommodation and food, making this very competitively priced against other rallies.

They are looking for around 20-25 people per team/state and require a minimum of 15 per team for the event to go ahead. Time is running out fast, so if you are even remotely interested in entering and would like further info check out http://www.sdt.com.au/GRUDGE.htm or email Tahlia Simmonds (Event Manager) at [email protected] asap.

Something tells me Queensland has it in the bag, but if you think otherwise, well then......... :D

Ohhh if those guys get their registrations in soon it should make for an interesting competition. I heard the QLD team so far is alot of EVOs and a beema and a few others. Still waiting for more registrations to finalise the teams tho!!

That R34 should given a run for their money! :/

pfft sif. dreaming :worship:

we have a couple of nsw-ers entering including a ful sic 34 gtr :spank:

are any of you guys heading down?

If that R34 is Me duncan, I hight have an issue, I need to be NZ on the 10th June so I dont think I can make it, but my house at Soth West rocks is still available if needed.

Yeah, I wish it was like that, but I have been working hard since I was 17 and Im a tight ass. My dad said buy property and eventually you can buy cars, not the other way round. I drove sh!t box's for the first 15 years, only now can I enjoy the lines!

Funny enough he was right!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
