Depending on car situation i would like to enter if i have mine either going again (or if i even have it) but i'll be there to take a few happy snaps and some footage again.

Should be an interesting field again this year i reacon!!!

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 :/

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
