Just wondering who on this forum is running in this years event.

After 3 years or so working as an official on the sideline there is a fair chance im in this year navigating, just waiting on entry.

few questions i wouldn't mind asking:

Do navigators need gloves?

This year I need a NR licence, but my driver wants me to complete necessary training so that in the unlikely event he is unable to drive, I take his place. What additional things do I need to do? I have heard I might have to complete 2 club days/kahnacross, but the thing that concerns me is WHAT IF THERE ISN'T TWO BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL (or im unable to).

Anyway looking forward to being there, meeting some of you guys and having a ball.

ps if anyone needs a workshop over the week (in launceston), im sure my driver wouldn't mind opening his up.

Cheers

Tim

Navs don't need gloves, you'd never be able to turn the pages reliably.

I hope to get back this year, and am on the hunt for a spot in the silly seat (would love to get a gold plate). My driver has decided to start a family and amongst other commitments he is understandably not competing again.

With regard to your license, you can also do a couple of hours at a performance driving venue, like we did, at Holden Performance Driving at Yatala, Qld, I think? That gets around finding suitable events. (Bear in mind the driving test method must be approved by SCAMS, oops, CAMS.

My Mate is goign in the Junior Targa, it's for beginers, it's 3 days or something. He is eneting an 64 Hilman hunter that runs 10 second quaters, on a stock extrnaly looking angine.

At the moment we are compleatly redoing teh head, bigger ports, new oversized valves, sleved and remachine the block to accept VG30 pistons, got some ex nascar chev rods to fit, all valvetrain has been roalised, running fuel injection, pulled 250Hp out of 1998cc

Should mention will be in Pink S15 200SX!!!!

Ahhh very cool, will be great to see a silvia out there!

Just took a look at the Rookie rallye, this is the first I've heard of it. Seems to be a good thing, especially compared to say Dutton rally.

Yeah that;s the one the rookie rallye, he is hoping to win his devition so that next year he can enter the real targa.

Yeh thats what we would effectively like to do, but rather that crash from going to quick, just enjoy it and have fun, there is always sponsors out there keen to support

they need to fix their page title. it's says David Dahl... >_<

Haha everyones says that!

I've been given a car from Lotus to drive in the Targa Classic Rally, we leave the start line an hour before the competition class.

I think it will be good practise for next year when i can get out there and do the real thing in the rookie class and then step up to the competitive class.

Hopefully meet some of you down there. >_<

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
