Not sure if Ricky my mate is doing rally of tas, but he recently compleated the mountaind challange 4 day even, came 1st in a couple of categories and then some seconds and some 6th places after the car failed to finish a stage.

I have drivven with some hard core drivers, but my mate, i tell you what, you fell like your about to die and then, bang all good again. He definatly drives 11/10 evertime.

the quote

"If you want to explore the limits, sometimes you have to be prepared to go over them"

Is somethign he came up with. LOL. and certainly suits him down to a T.

Dad and I are sharing the drive of a R33 GT-R V-Spec N1.

We have heeps to do, get our licences and fill the entry forms out, get intercom system, do a recce......

What do you do about the licence information on the form if CAMS don't get the info back to you by the entry close off date?

Also, are you aloud to get rid of HICAS? and how do I get the 2007 Supplementary Regulations?

And we just found out that the LF suspention needs fixing, cause the car had a hit before we got it, and is 15-20mm too far back. :/

Tim: you in beachy's donut king S15?

I went and saw Rosemary Taylor at KT Electronics, she sorted me out with membership to LCCT and what exactly I need to fill out on the CAMS forms, they will issue you with a temporary licence until yours comes through.

You have to do a Rally lecture (online) and minimum 2 club days, im gonna try do the club day at symmons on the 4th Feb and depending on when the next one is a kahnacross which ever is available.

Don't worry about the car too much you should see ours, we stripped it back to a bare shell!!!

And yes im in beechey's donut king car, but not the one that was at the V8's this is its sister car.

I am being a pit bitch for Duncan (Driver) and Kel (Navigator) Handley.

Im not sure what the rules are for gloves or what the requirements for licencing is either sorry.

Hope to meet you there!

Hey Jas are you sure Kel is the Nav,,,she might other thoughts. The girl can steer you know,,,just ask Scott.

Neil.

Neil.

Pay you later Neil :laugh:

(and chop chop Scott)

On a more serious, and less gratuitous note...

We should organise an SAU catch up at Targa - I know things get crazy when the racing is on, so maybe a before event 'SAU do'?

Post interest and arrival dates?

Team Raceworx gets in the Sunday before at this stage.

Kel

Sounds good, be good to meet people before the event

Yes it does sound good. Tried for it last year but just got caught up with pre-targa fun... like buying some old bombs and motorcross tracking them with Whitey and crew... lol

This year I'm sussing out a navigating with someone else (advertised on the Targa site), so hopefully that'll come off!

Cheers, Ben

Ben,

I know a guy who is looking for a nav. Good safe steerer who has done it about 5-6 times. Drop me a PM and I'll ring him. Its even in a Nissan which means all these guys will continue to talk to you. (Have just sent him and email)

We will be there, but first Rally Tas. At the moment we are Preparing

Targa Regs

Hope this helps

Hmm im just trying to figure out wether we can't run M3 or not, currently nominated as M2, but have noticed a few cars running M3 which generally fall into a M2 category.

If we could run M3 it would save HEAPS of headaches IE with our radiator, sump and wheel size to clear the brembo's.

I might have to read it again when im not so tired.

200SX = M2.

Its based on times for the cars acceleration from 0-100km. M2 is cars between 4.8 and 6.8 seconds. S15 200SX was 6.3 according to Motor Mag. The JDM S15 would have been quiker again so don't go there!

If you can find three seperate historical magazine or newsapaper articles that publish times over 6.8, get Nissan to confirm they're list time and submit an application to CAMS along with a $55 fee they have a committee in Melbourne that may reclassify.

There have so been a few cars that did this - 944 S2, R32 and R33 GTSt.

I'm currently working out if its worth doing the same for the RX7... all the early Motor and Wheels say early 7 seconds, but then your stuck with the crap intercooler, so think we'll just run in M2 as an SP (not Targa though as I have a bit on around that time of year!).

EVO mag, 200SX = 6.5seconds... Before I did Targa the first time, I got the most useful bit of information from a guy I propped up the bar with on the spirit prior to the 2002 event. Things have changed a bit, but much remains the same.

His advise was "Read the rules mate... then read 'em again & again." "When you think you understand them, chose a car that takes advantage of the rules" Don't turn up with your favourite car, because it may be disadvantaged by the regs. We chose our first car accordingly and it now comes off even better when the rules are applied.

So I now call this my advise, because the guy drove a P76, and next time I spoke to him in 2003 he blew me off... probabley because I had just sucked his doors off when overtaking him LOL.

There you go, its all in the way you present your car

Yeh i did read them! just wasn't making much sense at the time, just trying to look for options to use what we have.... which is a small budget >_<

It would be nice to have a budget to choose what car to enter, but alas at our age (young and stupid) you don't have such a thing. Maybe in a few years time... You know when I get that big promotion >_<

Not in it to win it, just to get a taste of Tarmac rallies (beauty of the rookie rallye). I reckon if we enjoy it, we'll be back next year, and the year after etc maybe one day even in one of those cars that starts with the letter P and ends in an E

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
