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.

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.

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

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.

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

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
