Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

marlin - no fences to hold you back from the big drops up there punk!

kel - harsh, but promoting it as a hairdresser's car doesn't suggest any great aspirations so could be a good way to keep it! actually i'd love to paint it flat black, i reckon that would look awesome, handy for sponsors too... just whip out the chalk duster when you get a new one!

sav_man - not sure about up north, but from hobart myself and darren fogarty in the rx7, peter o'keefe seems pretty keen, an almost finished gtr down here with a guy new to tarmac rally, another new guy to tarmac rally that i went to school with in his yet to be finished l34 torana and a couple of others are talkin.

Sounds like alot of talk stu :P typical of our southern counterparts ;)

sorry Stu nothing personal- I can't help it that it's been the car of choice for ever hairdresser I've ever had :P

I'm liking that car as a chalkboard idea....

oh, well done to mark and sarah :D

You mean Russ? Mark was in the service park with me. Russ and sarah both did a great job. It was sarah's first go at navving, and she really did a great job. watching their in-car footage there was nothing left pace wise.

I must be having rally with-drawals finally.

I dreamt I was driving through a patato field last night! LOL

Oh me too! lol

Funny you say that, I had ice cream prior to bed last night and was driving through that field again, but in a 35! lol

sorry I don't think I will be able to treat the donut princess to the level you are accustomed to - r35s and 5 star accom. I hope you will consider a 20yo r32 and cabins to be "retro"

I'm glad you had a good enough time to wanna come back up next year Ben. I'm afraid I let the SAU team down a bit with my little detour off the side of the hill. But in saying that we were having a pretty good go considering the absolute horrid rear end set up we had. But it's on the way to repair now so we'll be back for next year. I hope you can drag some others up here with you for a good fun weekend.

well looks like Ben has made targa change the rules, category 7 has moved to early modern. I notice the Porsche guys didn't care when a 944 won classic, but you can't have a Nissan wrecking a Porsche 1-10 finish.

but you would have to enter it as a std gtr as the n1 wasn't realesed till 1991(?) not that anyone runs the proper turbos anyway.

if the rules are being changed, the 400r should be put into s1 mod level.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
