tarmac rallying should only be scary if the crew want to push harder than their event prep and talent allow... if you run your own race and don't be ambitious it’s no more dangerous than super sprinting or hillclimbing without a roll cage in my oppion.

fair comment

I definitely think it has the potential to be more rewarding but it still scares me... if only because I haven't experienced it... I guess if your new to the sport avoiding taking the 'racing line' and just driving as quickly as you feel comfortable in the centre of the road there would be plenty of margin for error... with some of the terrible driving I see on country/coastal roads I sometimes think everyday driving is more dangerous than motorsport!

there is a school of thought that blind rallies are safer as people have to "drive it as they see it" rather than trying to fully commit to corners based on their pace notes. Most of the QRC rounds are blind rallies. Or they were when I used to compete.

Hey a quick one especially for Stu I guess - I just heard on he grape vine that in 2009 all Tarmac Road Rally competitors will have to wear some form of head and neck device.

Any truth to that one?

yeah snowy hans remains highly recommended and always a good idea, but its still a 2.5k spend for a decent setup so still a little steep for most and only arc was being forced to upgrade for 09 i thought.

*sigh* - seems I need to find myself a new Nav for Targa Tas already.

It turns out James' first born's due date has moved from the begining of March to April 15th. Don't ask me how he got that one so wrong. But needless to say he's going to be unavailable now.

Get onto Timmy mate....... he sux, so he's probably available :D

Yep dead right benny, i make cars roll and stuff... but im interested Snowy

Thanks boys. But I think I have found a replacement should James decide its a no-go, but I will try and get everything sorted out in the next few days.

Appreciate the offer though Tim and should further complications arrise I'll be in contact.

But you'll be pleased to know Tim that my Nav just completed his first rally in the right manner.

No worries Andrew,

On that note if anyone needs a Nav for Targa, let me know. I'd love to do it again, probably in a better position to do it now than I was this year.

Preferably in something quick/Modern... say a 34 N1 :P but im not fussy at all :(

Plus my sister is in management at the Federal group so I get a good rate at all their hotels/resorts.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
