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.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
