Ok good stuff guys! I'm considering doing the "Tasmanian Tarmac Challenge" in October if I can get the new car sorted out, Mt Buller if funds/time allow, and really aiming towards Targa Tasmania again next year in April. Rally Tasmania in February is always a great warmup for Targa Tasmania, but I just can't afford to do them all, time or money wise :ermm:

Makes me think actually, I better get on a diet so the poor lil' RB20 can drag me up the hills. Nah, easier to get co-driver whore Timmay to drop down to a sparrow-like 55kg I reckon. :D

Wow thanks for setting me a target now!

Greetings Snowman + friends.

I'm hoping to do Targa rookie next year also, so that probably means no Buller/Lake Mountain this year :D

I did scrutineering school last weekend. If you guys are wanting official help at your events, please PM me...

Cheers,

Scott.

If anyone has questions about tarmac rally eligibility or safety etc I'm the Technical Manager for Targa Tasmania so feel free to ask as its really not that hard to get a car together.

I used to race and rally various Nissan's including 200SX, R32 GTS-t and R32 GT-R... I navigate in an Integra Type R and currently building an RX7 SP so not just another useless administrator... well hopefully not that useless anyway!

What’s the ruling on dry carbon panels and 3mm lexan/plexi glass windows on the doors, rear quarters and rear window?

Depends on the car really...

No good for GTR on either point though. On GTSt the lexan works, but the windows that open need to remain functional and usually scratches like hell.

Any bolt-on panel could be swapped on GTSt for CF, but doors need to remain metal.

CF on the GTR only works if its a Nissan option (eg Nismo or Autech) such as CF bonnet, undertray, wind blade.

Thanks Stuart.

I don't believe so. I am on the hunt for some dry carbon bits though. ie, gtr style bonnet, bootlid/gtr wing/gtr nismo lip spoiler. Also hunting for some gts M-spec side skirts if anyone knows of any of these things?

Now, if I can just get an RB30 hybrid ok'd I reckon I'm in with a shot.................

Dane - The GTR is classed as a faster car under the parity rules so limited in permitted mods.

GTR guards on a GTSt would be cool, but althought the material can be changed (to fibreglass or CF) basic body work must retain the same external shape as standard with the exception of some aero like GTR wings and bumpers etc.

Guard rolling, just the inner lip not flaring? For example, are they going to raise question over a very minor appearance chance’s as one of the cars does look different next to another Gtst..

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
