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!

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
