I'll be there too - I'm a Stage Safety Officer for SS2-12 Montville Hill, SS3-10 Diamondfield, and SS4-8 Brown's Creek. If you see a white R32 GTR with Stage Safety Officer on the windcreen, come and say hi. Street Party Saturday night and the officials party Sunday night should make it a pretty good weekend.

There's a R33 GTR competing too - one to watch out for if anyone's spectating.

I spectated the Belli Creek Rd stage today. The GTR sounded dreadful. There was some VERY loud whistle under throttle, but not a turbo whistle or leaky IC piping whistle either. More like a badly made muffler design whistle that I encountered years ago with a Nelson truck muffler. Nice to see it running, but my opinion it wasn't quick in the section I saw it running.

My pick was a blue XR8 Falcon, a GTV6, an Escort, and Siddins Z-car.

A few of the 911s were worth a look/listen, and a few of the Evo/STi runners were obviously fast too. Vandersee's Skelta must have an exceptionally low centre of gravity and runs like its on rails.

Bring on Peachester tomorrow. :thumbsup:

The GTR was a let down, tidy well presented car, but let down. I heard many rumors getting around Noosa about that car and how quick it was meant to be.. I know the owner made special requests about it not idling more then "30 seconds" when it was in at the Holden Dealership as it fouled plugs or something.

Siddins Zed is awesome! Love seeing him fly up the Hill climb, awesome driver and awesome car! As biased as I am, I loved all the 911's - Kicking myself I couldn't convince the two other directors to foot the entry fee to enter our 911 C2 ;) Always next year :)

Heard the owner of the GTHO was offered $920k and said no? And the owner(s) of the Lamborghini Miura were offered twice what they paid for it 2 years ago? Anyone confirm?

Speaking of the R33 GTR, I Got 2 photos of it in the street festival thing. Not great photos cuz my camera is shit at night with all the street lights etc but these things happen :)

Siddins is always fast. I've had some good dices with him at Morgan Park's QLD SuperSprint Series in the old days with my IPRA Datsun 1200 (2000cc) but he always came out on top. I got him back at last year's QLD Challenge Rally with the GTR though. Anyway, on our stage on Saturday (3-10 Diamonfield) Siddins beat Richards by 3.5 sec, as well as Denyer, Quinn etc. Only the Skelta was quicker IIRC.

That was a good way to spend my last weekend with the GTR - the new owner picks it up next weekend. About 700km of nice country roads over the weekend, and as Stage Saftey Officer I was allowed access to our stages after the road closure :rant: made the 1deg morning at Kandanga worthwhile...

Looked like a good weekend, didnt get time to get up there, i'll blame sebby's wedding for that.

Looked like a nice turnout of cars, Anyone see what happened to the Lambo? all i know is that it crashed, its at work at the moment, looks like it will need a new chassis

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
