Thanks mate :) I spoke with Russ earlier about sharing his evo5, but he suggested we both use the R35...... navigate alternately for eachother. So we're in with a chance :D

Excellent. That's good news Ben. I hope you can make it.

Thanks Coop, hope to mate :D

Well done to all at Rally Tas on the weekend, Kel especially. Good time had by most by all accounts, Kel, good stuff :) Great to see Quinny through for a win too :ermm:

Someone who's spec C didn't finish the event too flash :) ;

Rolled big time, 7 to 8 times, crew ok

Bloody hell, 7 rolls over - as long as he's ok!

Quick question though; why would you run a spec c rex, or a type RA etc over a normal STi in Targa - they're all the same mechanicals arent they? Unless some JDM models get a significant HP increase...

Thanks Coop, hope to mate ;)

I will have to find my carnage pics and post! There was plenty of it, especially on Savage which should bring back memories Benny ;)

Anyone who came off this weekend didn't do it by halves that's for sure.

And thanks for the congrats- I had an awesome weekend and was just happy to finish - top 5 was a bonus.

It was brilliant to see Quinny win - he fought hard for it and deserved it, especially considering he is running a relatively 'undeveloped' car with road tyres.

Better get your finger out and get that 35 ready for Targa Tas Russ :)

PS: Hats off to Timmy- teh master navi!

Yeh how rediculous was it that they continued the stage even after that mazda crashed in a big way and was taking up 3/4 of the road. And the fact that the crew were standing on the outside of a corner carrying on like headless chickens it was enough to startle you!

I can definately say my weekend was probably one of the more interesting ones, I learn't ALOT over the weekend and met ALOT of great people. Kel your a champ! and a caring one at that!

It was a worthwhile experience and I think I taught my driver alot in the three days, so hopefully it helps him in further rallies. It felt a bit weird being the master as opposed to the apprentice.

Im looking more and more forward to Targa and futher rallies this year and hopefully some good news!

What is AASA? Austrailian Auto Sport Accosiation? All i really know is CAMS because all the events up this way are all cams events.

There is no way my car will meet the M2 catigory at all cause it fails on about 10 criteria for being over modified but i'm told by Some people i've talked to that it'll probably sneak in under PRC rules which the event is also open to. I'm not a hundred percent sure that mine will pass but we'll see. They have let a few small curly ones slide in the past..... :P

I sent Russ a email the other day to see if he'd be keen so hopefully he hasn't commited to anything else that weekend. Be good to have the RGM boys back up for another event. Otherwise anything I can do to help people make the journey up to Townsville possible, just let me know.

The GTR doesn't fit the criteria for PRC and it'd be a dog with restrictors, but who cares... in the interest of getting the event off the ground eligibility shouldn't matter too much anyway.

What’s the entry fee? I'm keen to sending either the Evo or RX7 north during 2010

I answered my own question on the GPS @ rally tas btw

tried it on the first leg, realised it was just a distraction, and left it off for the rest of the rally (didn't even use it on the touring stages)

but then i also had to go through my notes after leg one and delete any distance call less than a 100- we were going so quick i barely had time to get the shorter distances out before needing to call the next corner!

anyone think the chicane on oldina was too small? apparently there were a lot of complants about it.

we were warned about it being tight so I cautioned it but in the end it didn't seem that bad?

hmmm think i better sort that one out!

highest bidder? :)

Chicane on Yolla was a little open, but they are something to drive by eye... didnt see any problem.

The place ment of bollards meant the roads were very clean... good thing. Broken pass mirror - not so good LOL.

I am glad they didn't stop Savage east for the mazda... it was no worse than the escort or jag. The guys were a little excited, but that meant you could see them. We get all the road and they had only blocked one lane.

Great little event... and one we will do in the future.

TT

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
