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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
