With David Owens Evo 4 suffered an engine failure on the weekend I was going take over his spot, but thanks to a re-design of the course with a chicane in the only straight a GTR is now uncompetitive so I'll be spectating... the Domain HC is now Evo and STi heaven.

Yeah a couple of us were talking about this yesterday, sounds a little gay if you ask me but hey they have to do something to slow things down i guess!!!

Funny thing is i think it will only cause more people to spin/crash and do more harm then good with the placement of the chicane!!!

Entry list looks interesting and should be an OK event but it wont compare to the previous years, the track just doesn't cut the mustard if you ask me :D

The previous indicent on that 'straight' was more to do with low performance driving that high speed... a basic TR7 is far from a fast car!

Guys,

I agree the course is far from ideal, makes one think that there must be some better roads around that would suit a hill climb. Would be great if there was a southern tas hill climb series over a few different roads.

Stu, any idea if this is possible and who would organise?

Anything is possible, its just finding the right bit of road. I would like to see the old Eagle Hawk Neck course get up again, that would be good for most cars. 500 Car Club ran that one. Dysart was another old one that I'd previous run at (also 500CC), that was little boring as it wasn't very technical. If anyone has a fav bit fo road that is anywhere upto 2k with minmal residents speak up!

Yeh, Im not happy about the Chicane idea. Ive voiced my opinion but havent got a responce as yet ! Seems to defeat the purpose a little if you ask me. Im told it will make for a change back to second gear. My clubby revs to 9200rpm so for me its back to first. What a pain in the ar....e. But I will still have a good day if the rain stays away

Yeh a new track would be great if we could find one.

Cheers

:nuke: yeah i know who crashed and i think it just comes to show that the people involved obviously look at it from a drivers point of view.

How long have they run the DOMAIN course and how many people have crashed on the straight (still got me buggered how you spin on a straight stretch of road :huh: ) but anyway its been done now!!!

I'd put my hand up to be in on that...

There are plenty of great roads that are ideal for it and i think a mini hill climb series would be awesome. Like i said i would put my hand up to do something like that and im more than happy to go and test all the roads :/

Thats going to be fun for you Greg seeing as the box's in the clubman's aren't all that user friendly trying to get back into first :)

I suggest holding it in 2nd and clutch kicking :rofl:

what about us poor northerners :(

Sounds like someone needs a :huh:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
