Here's some of "our" 34 GTR from Rally Burniw 2006. Appo steerin, me navvin. Thanks to the organisers for the pics. It was a very grotty rally, velly velly velly slippy. We were lookin great for 3rd outright until we crashed out about 3 klms from the end of the very last stage :D We had spun twice previously, the road was SO cold and we just couldn't get heat into the rubber.

Sadly the car was sold last week and has gone to WA :(

Not really the most exciting of pics but it might help revive the thread coz I love it :ermm:

Oh, and here's the result! After we towed it out we drove to the finish, only suffered a dented front gaurd. The tree fern was holding the car up from falling over quite literally a 30ft 75 degree slope onto rocks which when I disembarked went for a slide down......... Nice. Yes I got dirty.

Thanks Chrisso for the fail pics :ermm:

The problem with rallying in Australia is the spectators have no commitment. Not like Portugal in the Group B days.

Those were the "good ole days"! lol - would have been a huge challenge for the crew.

None of the drivers miss it I'm sure, and there's enough silly/nieve spectators and/or officials that let people and themselves stand is stupid spots. Witness Targa Tas '06, Mini into crowd at the Domain. Not good.

That is crazy shit. I recon he would have had to get a custom made seat to accommodate his oversized go nads.

:D

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
