yeah we had an average day.

Our gearbox broke in Mole Creek just before lunch, only have 3/4 and 5 left. We decided to retire since we have run out of "Request to Restart" forms.

Mark and Scott had a small off. Which in turn led to the car kinda tipping off the road and rolling 5 times down into the gully. They are both fine but the car is a little second hand.

Which I guess closes our Targa Adventure for this year.

Hay mate, i know it's a bit bad for me to say this, but i am glad somone oles had some bad luck. LOL.

Nah just kidding mate, looks like targa bit hard this year, we all managed to fall of the road. I will post pics of the hinter on monday when we gat it back from Bischino.

Better luck next year for all those who are attending.

Woooooooo 50 second lead over Richards.

He's out there doing it for all the privateers, proveing that a car build yourself and driving talent can beet all the professionals.

First time back since winning in 2004 and hopefully his return will reward him with another victory.

And yes looks like Sullens still holds a 54 sec gap to Richards, how is it possible that car can be so good?

I've seen stages of the build up at his house, and i could see how confident he was with this car, over any previous car he build himself. The car still has so much more potential from us as tuners perspective, running stand turbo and pretty sure exhaust. I'm not 100% but he was saying the car could be lighter but, had to keep it to a certain wait due to rules.

I think it all comes down to driver, the car is very good =) but after watching Tony in NSW ralley events his driving is really on a level above his competers, considering he's a "privateer" and raced his own cars as a hoby.

He give people out there the realisation that you don't have to be a "professionaly" driver with an expensive top of the range, newest car to win. He is... a true car enthusiest.

Good luck to him, hopefully he wins again, he deserves it.

BTW a joke we made up today...

whats Red and Black and Green all over?

an EB falcon with a green gtr parked on its roof in a dam.

So that's two down this year. But I think all the other skylines survived

Well I finally made it home after all the issues we had - Everyone is in one peice which is the main thing - Marks car is dead as a door nail.

Had lots of fun though

Those pics of marks car and the drop dont do it justice.

Hey Duncan - I missed that joke about the green skyline ahhahhaah

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
