Troy - I'd do it, but i'm to scared of your car, it just randomly spins for no reason!

The reason is the tool behind the wheel was doing a whole number of things wrong. From driving a car with bad suspension too hard, too not paying more attention to overfilling the gearbox, not paying someone like Racepace to maintain the car... to well just driving like a tool. Thats what the carrot of a 1:22 at Sandown does to me. Imagine how much trouble i have when a shiela gets her kit off in front of me.... I'm way too exceitable :closedeyes:

James isn't allowed to punt the Aston hard or else he'll get fired.... Still - there's worse things in the world than being paid to drive an Aston around for 3 days even if you can't drive it 10/10th.

There is a new "Teams" competition this year and I think we'll have to form Team Racepace in Vic :(

Is this the V8 Vantage owned by a Tassie dentist that was in Targa Tas this year? Or could it be the DB9R recently imported for Nations Cup?

Both sweeeeet sounding Motor Cars sir!

Very true mate, and that's how I originally was going to go but I began to worry about all these SR's and how old they were getting and thought it may not be as easy as that in the coming years, so I went the new engine route. A 1:21 will be awesome for a gts-t, let alone a standard engined one!

Well after day 1 James Ward leads Class A for co-drivers and finds himself 4th outright on handicap points. Not bad for a hack.

And as expected giants R32 GT-R is slaughtering the field in the main competition.

If he gets a trophy on merit! Be pretty cool. But the NSW rally must be pretty weak if a pampered Supercar is allowing him to come 4th outright

Wooh - trophy on merit! Trophy on merit! :wub:

The Aston did a great job all weekend. Never missed a beat and looked and sounded great every day.

I won Class A co-driver and came 4th co-driver outright handicap (I can handle being beaten by Russ, a GT2 and a Carrera RS).

Great event - Eastern Creek Sunday was a standout - and as always, great people involved.

Car is filthy and I'm knackered.

Time to put a report together for the boss...

Congrats to Mark and Russ on another awesome performance. GT-R's finishing 1st and 3rd as well. Not bad for cars designed in the 80's. Although I still can't believe Mark got beaten at all the track events. That GT2 must have been awesome with a handy driver to boot.

And well done to the Hack King James for winning his class in the Aston Martin. It seems this last 6 months of motorsport has turned you into a bit of a driver.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
