Hey Snowy, maybe you have already, but having done a 34 V-spec II for targa Tas this year, you might wanna go right through the rules of mods mate. To enter a car legally as an N1, it needs to have everything to factory N1 spec. Meaning, for eg., you need to purchase a genuine 34 N1 oil cooler kit, at, wait for it.... $11,000 when we last checked!!!! P*SS OFF!! lol.... so we ran with a V-Spec II with some susp/boost/exhaust/Power FC. Came 11th with full dry weather that didn't suit us.... oh, with no brakes after lunch on day 3! lol :O

Hey Marlin,

I know the rules. I know Jeff Beable quite well and he's filled me in with a lot of the requirements. But as I said I'm going to SLOWLY get it ready. The main reason I'm doing the turbo's now if because they have to come off to fix a gasket leak anyways. Then in 2007 I'm doing the Dutton National series then in 2008 I'll look at either Lake Mountian and/or Mt Buller. So I have a good 18 months to save up for an N1 oil cooler (as well as all the other bits I need). But I just can't imagine trying to do a 10min sprint without a cooler.

But I saw your car is up for sale too mate. I wouldn't be suprised if you don't / haven't already heard from Dom Loughman about buying your ride. (He did a lot of the Tarmac Rallies last year in a BA XR8 - bright yellow thing. You can't miss it)

This thing!

I wonder what my car would be like in a Dutton ? (with a Scotsman co driver)...

Faster!

I hear that Dutton are going to exclude AWDs from the event? You guys better start looking for a new car. It seems the AWD have too much grip and are damaging track surfaces...and the facility owners arent happy about it ;)

Bris - I warned you about drinking and posting!

Nice one Marlin, but where is your skylinesaustralia.com sticker on the car? hahaha

Nah well done mate. Hopefully one day I will get a shot at Targa.

Ok. SO, who is going to give the Super Subs me and James a drive next year? LOL, we have a lot to prove after this year :)

I got you a trophy at Calder Rally Masters... Then you broke mine.. Your off the Mr. Plow Co-Driver list.

PS-Learn to use a handbrake

However the big question is who's skills should I employ as my Co-Driver for Dutton 07? Some help required here guys?

The main list did consist of:

1. Pete (Bass)

2. Handbags (Newton)

3. Aaron (Mr Smooth)

But I think that Pete guy might be gay. Plus I think he's teaming up with Beable..

Decisions. Decisions.

You cant punch a clutch hard enough hoppey-long ;)

Pffftttt you could'nt spell AWD let alone drive one ;):P

ps. wanna ring me back sometime before tomorrow?

Yeah sorry mate...i was busy :)

You see thats what i hate about you AWD fanboys. How is it i automatically wear the blame when there was a second party pushing and bullying me for the front seat...but i broke the trophyt...i feel terrible about my part in it... but i feel like im being victimised... :sweat:

And no, i am not a butcher so refuse to use the handbrake in my car...if you think its all so fine for the car then give me a drive of your bus and i will soon have you admitting that perhaps the handbrake isnt good for the car. :wub:

Fark you all...i have been abondened by even my co-driver and his love for AYC. I need to start begging a friend to co-drive with me, only he too doesnt want to use my car and doesnt want to drive with me as he knows i dont take the events serious enough to win...looks like i may as well stay OS :O

Perhaps the Stig or Belsil80 would be interested, yeh Belsil80. Team 2l RWD to humble you folk :O

Fark you all...i have been abondened by even my co-driver and his love for AYC.

Listen mate,

My new co-driver went to the drags last night in his shopping trolley and ran an 11s 1/4 mile (sure it was an 11.995 but it was still an 11!) That's with the stock turbo and a stock bottom end and R Comps.

There are a lot more reasons than AYC to be leaving the silver bullet if you can't even get near them in a straight line contest!

How is it i automatically wear the blame when there was a second party pushing and bullying me for the front seat...but i broke the trophyt...i feel terrible about my part in it... but i feel like im being victimised... :O

LOL. Because you grabbed it off me and it was in your hand. It's OK i got plenty more. It's just funny.

Bris, why do you think handbrake is car torture? If you disengage the driveline, there should be no issue?

As long as someone less prone to mistakes behind the wheel other than me and Chris are driving then yes. LOL

Yeeeaah.. We go hard!

I'd give it a go Bris. We all know the 32 loves my right foot!

I am soooo looking forward to Dutton Vic already.....please keep me away from the Yahoo Bar!!!! :dry: So much "wang" talk in the lead up already!!! :-)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
