So you were just suffering from a 24hr virus or something?? LOL

But great news - I look forwards to you kicking my ass again :(

I'm taking my little dragon out to Winton in a couple of weeks for its last spin in it's current incarnation before heading off to change a few little things in time for 2010. I'm personally quite excited about getting back into it all after a good 6 months break.

Well, I'm always up for a whinge, has got me through a closed door more than once :(

I had a think about it, had a chat to me old man who kind of lives vicariously through me, and decided that yeah, if I'm to do one event, Targa Tas is it. I'll gladly forfeit all the other events to do it.

Well I've now got 2 objectives for the event.

1. is to break the Rookie Jinx and actually finish (I believe no past Modern Rookie winner has finished the full event the next year).

2. Beat you on a stage. LOL - I got within 1s a couple of times last year but couldn't quite manage to do it once.

Now I just have to make sure I don't fail Objective 1 trying to achieve Objective 2! :(

lol, trash talking is fun, but I'm superstitious and try and steer clear of it :P

Regardless, Timmy and I win because we're in "a 4k shitter" :(

Ya f**ked anyway, six tyres means we can use the throttle a bit more instead of the wheel :P

Hey we get 6 tyres too - you just get to use yours a day earlier. My issue in life is I have 2 sets of rims but they are different sizes and GT-R's don't deal well with split rim sizes front to rear. So I can see me just using 4 tyres regardless next year. LOL

And I can't believe you've started with the excuses already! :(

Really Benny?? You would give up every other event during the year to do Targa Tas???

Amazing event and I would love to be able to do it, but just driving competitively once a year, even if its a 5 day event......I just couldn't do it.

Great to hear you are entered again though, imagine how fast you can go now you are another year older and wiser (?) :(

pretty sure i said shitbox, not shitter :(

I understand your choice....but I go the other way...for me I just can't give up everything else a skyline can do OK in for a single event, no matter how much fun it is. Also....I really enjoy the close competition of racing while targa is a little less "immediate" competition

btw Ben I got 5 weds from justjap....maybe give steve a bell. looks like everyone is going to be looking for 1 more wheel now...at least I don't have to choose left or right now I can carry one of each

Thanks dunc, just emailed the boys to shit stir re Bulldogs and ask about wheels.

I meant I'd gladly sacrifice every other Tarmac rally to do this one, unfortunatley I haven't worked out how to safely smuggle in kilos of cocaine up my butt to pay for all the rallies.

I'm happy to keep my eye in just doing circuit stuff like top gear racing etc, and would love to grab an Nc or Group A for some historic racing, but I like the "team" think about rallying, having Timmy beside me is a highlight for me, and makes it even more fun. :(

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
