Hi all..

I'm getting involved in the chicane teams again for this year's Targa West on the weekend of the 9th/10th of September. We're a bit short on teams so the organiser has asked me to post up the following:

************************************

Targa West is on again this year Sept 7 - 10.

It's a Targa Tassie style event run right here in our own backyard. This year there is a great field of cars ranging from Posche GT3's, Lamborghini Gallardo, Maserati BiTurbo, to the awesome Orange Monaro of Steve Coad.

A great way of getting close to the cars on the stages is to be involved in a chicane team. All the chicane team is required to do is to set the chicane up (place bollards & signs in pre-marked locations), monitor it whilst the cars go through and then pack up once the stage is closed.

This year, we need approximately 22 chicane teams (teams of 3) for the event.

I know a number of people from this list were involved last year, so please indicate if your team will be involved again this year. If you weren't involved last year, grab two of your mates and make up a team. There is only a couple of training sessions to go to and you'll be right to go.

Please either email me (phay @ iprimus.com.au - without the spaces) or text/call 0432 841 228 if you'd like to be involved.

There is more info available at www.targawest.com.au

*****************************

If you can get invovled I can recommend it. Having cars coming towards you hard under brakes from around 180~200km/h was pretty cool to watch.

Any questions - post em up and I'll try to answer them as best as possible - or just call Peter on the number above.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
