both driver ans co driver are OK, and still have their sense of humor intact

I don't think any amount of race tape will get me to the start line tommorow though!!!

Its was doing 140Kph when it went through the side of a poor farmers shed

The local paper had this photo and the headline "This lotus postiion not calming".

Dissapoint news about the R35. Will try to get out on Sunday and see the other SAU guys on the stage in Hobart. Last stage for the whole event so I hope to see some severe tyre shredding, its only about 1.3kms long guys so rip it up!!!

To make up for the disappointing show by the new school Dattos, check out the Siddins/Ferguson 240Z. First in Early Classic, fifth in Outright Classic and first non Porka there :wub:

another one to watch is car 711 of luck and johnstone. comming 19th in classic outright they are piloting an r32 gtst. its there 4th targa in this car and its taken a few years of R&D to get it right but this rear its pretty well on song.

Is this the black R32? She was smoking pretty badly but the Rb20's still going strong.

Its brilliant to see so many of our guys still running.

Unfortunately Kel's car had a fuel pump come loose and stop so they missed a whole stage and copped 1hr20m penalty time. Which sucks because they were in 32nd before that.

Ben is still going brilliant, and its great to see the boys in 814 still going strong considering its their first run down there.

Hope everyone makes it home oK today!

well done everyone that made it home!

final results are

Ben, what happened to yo guys today? hope everything is OK :) "895 suffered mechanical issues on Mt Arrowsmith"

Yeah Jas we had fuel pump problems on cygnet last year put us out for the day. you guys found us in the middle of nowhere where the local lady bought cake over for us all to eat. only in tassie. the gtr pump mount is crappy at the best of time and i think all of these old 32s have had enough hits over the year to make them even worse

yeah big respect to all the guys who competed. and well done Kel! I'm sure your super navigating made all the difference. :)

and you looked super cute in your race suit. :):3some:

I do believe that Jenna Kelley is a member of SAU Vic, a top navigator from all accounts too.

Yep she sure is (goes by the user name Tiiger)

Hey guys, just got home from Hobart.

f**king rapt in getting 12th outright, 1st in class and 1st privateer home, I have to thank Benny so much for letting me sit along side him for a week calling the shots, I had a ball and have never felt so alive in all my life.

Congrats to all who finished and to those who didn't i hope you have a speedy recovery/get the car back out there.

Manions had an off on Mt Arrowsmith, all ok... we thought they might have just beached it on a culvit, turns out they put it into the bank, not too bad and its already on the way to the panel shop for repairs.

The GTR didn't sustain any serious damage, just got a bunch of punctures and i think damaged some suspension components. It was still being driven around and being put on display.

Bring on next year, im hungry to go fast again.

Targa site was nice too us, I put the car off on Mt Arrowsmith. Right 5 tightens to a 3, I was on the brakes, and as it tightened to a 3 the wheels locked and off we went. Very hard to take your foot off the brake to correct it :down: , was pretty pissed at the time, and even more so once I found out how well we'd gone on the 2 previos stages. But you live and learn, still had a ball for the rest of the event. Hope to be back next year. I'll put the footage of it up soon.

oops thats a strange place to park.

but hey, the only thing worse than crashing is not having footage of the crash. ask Mark.

Hope it you get it back together in one piece :down:

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
