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!

Ahhh, that what it's all about! Everyone coming together to keep eachother going! Top effort all round guys! lol, you don't see too much of that comradery in drag racing! That's one of the big reasons tarmac rallying keeps me coming back :-D

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.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
