Hi all.

For those of you who have competed in Targa Tasmania, what was involved in preparing your car?

I'm investigating competing in Targa Tassie 08 in the rookie rallye section and just need to work out the costs of preparing my current road going car.

I guess i need a half roll cage, driver+navigator harnesses, toe hooks front and rear.........

Any info would be great.

Ok well if you go to the targa page, there is a requirament list.

We competed in Targa Rookie Classic Class C.

We needed:

Fire extuinguisher

Battery cut out

Fuel Cut out if fitted with electronic pumps

Role cage, Cams approved with papers, seamless tube, all bent and wealded as per the rules

Fire suits, gloves and face mask, ADR approved helmett.

You need a first aid kit

Triangle for breakdowns

Tow points in red, indicated with a sticker

These are the main have toos

Then thre is a whole heap more, like battery triangle stickers, they give you those, tiedowns for any loos items, Terra trip is not required at all. MAKE SURE You have good pace notes, we didn't and crashed. LOL.

Your car needs to be registered and road legel, well roar registered under special interest at least, so all lights must be functioning ect.

You need a minimum of a 5 point harness (and remeber to have it realy tight, or your balls get mashed), there's rumers going around that bolt in cages mightn't be accepted soon, but that is only a rumer. But if you do it, put a weld-in in, it's worth it if you do crash.

how many mods does your car have? because the cars are mostly standard parts.

The targa site has all the regs up, and a link to the cams technical regs.

What you need more than anything...is a car you can thrash for 3 days without it breaking down in any way....so have a think about what sort of condition everything is in and what you might need to replace. Like Ben said it has to be pretty much standard too so you might have to remove bits you already have.

Cage is probably the hardest thing - you can get a bolt in one so you can remove it, but it needs to be a full cams compliant one - think $1500min.

Was your wedding photo in the paper the other day Stu?? It was a Stuart Benson and looked a bit like you....but it might've been a funny angle and I wasn't sure.......

Yes mate that was me, obviously Kylie is a very lucky girl!

The photographer wanted to use that shot for promo and I wondered where it was going to show up.

sav_man - Yeah I think we've still got some, will check.

Duncan& Kel - They will both be worth the wait!

The DVD would have been released sooner as dat16 and the SCTV team finished them some time ago, but they all arrived back from production with the wrong covers and these had to be printed.

In regards to the party DVD's I have located the source here at work and can supply copys at the nominal fee of Twenty dollars.....

We can also do packages that include all shots of you'r vehicle compiled, along with a personalised party tape version that has shots of you'r vehicle inserted into it....

Obviously there is more cost involved in the vehicle compile's and party tape inserts. Those that may be interested will need to contact me for details... I personaly have done many compiles and they can take anywhere from 1/2 an hour to 2 hours depending on how many shots you have to locate.....I think there is somewhere in the vicinity of 70 to 80 tapes from this year!!!!!! :action-smiley-069::(

I am at you'r service.......

      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

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
