Gee look at our service crew go in the first pic, their looking at the dato beside our car while we change the tyres.

You can enter a team in Targa, I saw all the teams listed in the resalts book.

LOL - nice package!

We picked up 14th at Rallye Burnie on the weekend in the Integra, which was an excellent result as it was Darren's first event as a driver, I'd never navigated and it was the first time he'd spend more than 10min in the car. I now have a new appreciation for the navigators role, but didn't vomit!

Dave Ayers (R33GTR) suffered a rear diff failure and had a generally painful weekend with related sensor problems thanks to the diff failure. We think the diff finally gave it after spending most of Targa in 2WD.

Well done to both of you! How was Burnie this year? Pretty dry I heard? It's a great little event isn't it! :P

Yeh I saw Dave had some issues, two stages he couldn't finish wasn't it?

Crappleton and i ran the very very wet Burnie last year, we loved it! .... riiiight up until the very last stage, running third outright. Crappo thought he didn't just want to BEAT Longhurst, he wanted to SMASH him. But, LOL, a picture tells the story! ;)

Well done to you guys again! :D

hellyer and oldina were dampish with inter corners on the first run, but dried up from there.

luina was also damp on that goat track after the bridge, but dry everywhere else.

dave and us were sharing service crew and we called on all our local contacts to source parts for him. the crew worked until about 5am sunday morning getting it going again (huge effort). andrew lawson ended up lending and building a diff from his spares (nizpro 200sxr) and kelvin maxfield (r31) supplied some housings and axles from his track car.

the event was good, but the integra lacked so much up hill urge compared to the year i ran the gtr. nearly 100ks difference in max speed on the 400m streach in hazlewood!

the year i ran the gtr, every gtr crew went off on the same stage (luina) - jeff keyte (R33 N1) ended up down a bank, we (R32 V-SpecII) end up spinning and taging a bank and whitey (R34 N1) removed the front of his!

I would love to run next year, but lack of experiance is whats holding me back. i think rallye Burnie is on the cards for next year for me, and we will see what happens from there. if anybody needs a hand crewing in 08 for targa let me know. i have access to a full workshop in Bunie as well.

How about Rally Tas then Targa Guesty? If I was a first timer I'd definately be having a crack at the Rookie Rally first ;) Nice little event that one, with the opportunity to get a free entry into the full Targa the following year. ;)

I reckon we'll have the MPC boys crewing for us again, but hopefully we'll see your face around :)

Steve mentioned when i saw him this year that he was keen to get one. :D

Greg Muller has ordered one (he's currently in an Evo 8), but whether it'll be a road or rally car he's not sure yet.

We're (Dean n I) gonna wait n see what they weigh and if good rubber becomes available first, and if electronic trickery is easy or difficult like a 997 Turbo.

With the new rules stipulating no lighter than factory weight, I'd be chasing a light car, and my gut says the new GTR may be a little fat. Hope not though! :)

I've floated the idea of Deano (Car #979 owner/driver) tarmac speccing his Audi R8 in a couple of years when the lease is up :)

I was told the main reason we don't see the quick Fezza's is that the build numbers are too low? But thats kinda not working for me now with the Lambo Superleggomechanoset Gallardos?

You reckon a Fezz would be competetive outright? I don't, but would def be a buzz! :D

Pretty sure Tony Alford is getting a new GTR aswell after all the disasters with the 997

an R8 would be porn though

From what i've read the standerd F430 is faster than the standard Lambo. Si i'd imagine the Scuderia would be faster than the superlegs.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
