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

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
