Well,

As i'm currently watching the Cannonball 2004 Europe, I just looked up and they are actually running the Cannonball Run in Australia - around May 2007..

http://www.cannonballworld.com/aus/index.htm

Goto say - pretty expensive.. $10,000 per car (1 car = 2 people).. Includes all accomodation... all entry to parties..

Looks awesome from the Europe one, however aussie police are not gonna let much slide i'm sure.. Def have to go and watch it when they start if they head through Sydney..

Anyone thought about entering it??

It can't be that cheap? (EDIT: I mean... for the celebrities and types of cars that normally enter, it's too cheap! Ferrari Enzo? I'm sure he did it with his pocket-change!)

I'm starting to watch the 2006 eps now (up to ep2)

Last years was pretty funny, and Jackass covered a previous year.

I'd be pretty interested to see it over here in 2007... i'm sure someone with an R34 GTR V-spec II can represent! ;o)

no.. I agree... Unless it's on a stretch of dirt road in NT where there are no speed limits, and no-one else to harm.

It would be funny though! They can do Parramatta Road or Pittwater Road on the Northside.

The wheels and shocks will fall of the cars, and they'll never make it through two sets of lights at a time. Then they have our tougher, more restrictive police force to recken with. Hello 40km/hr school zones!

Har, they'll roll past the donut shop and get defected by the rozzers, then it'll turn into Epaballrun.

it would be better for us to do it overseas, these blokes would come over here not giving a shit about losing a temp aus road licence, pay there fines and piss off back to there own country.... sweet.....

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
