Not on a rally but I once made the mistake of having a caramel milkshake at lunch before going on an intense twisties run in an EMO. I felt terrible even as the driver! LOL

But it did teach me a lesson to watch what I eat before driving hard. :merli:

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...

Yeah I remember the 2004 East Coast Targa. Appo and I decided Eggs Benedict would be a good breakfast prior to racing. Yeah nah, not good. It repeated all day. I never throw up though, throwing up to me is the equivelent of the end of the world.

oh you big girl!!

I took wet T-Shirt comp to a whole nother level that day! :sick::(:merli:

I get a pins and needles feeling come over me sometimes...but I used to not eat anything before a rally until that day I thought I would be fine.. :no:

So will go back to not eating before rallying..

I am fine on the circuit it's just up/down. around and rough that got me..only on that one stage too..Weird :D

Hmm i think the key is more to eat properly for these events and digest it all properly. IE chew the f**k out of it.

Have breakfast early to give yourself time to digest before jumping in the car. i think most ppls problem is they have brekfast and then get in n drive.

I don't normally drink milk or anything (was lactose intolerant as a child), but this year ive been having Up and Go's to start the day and maybe a bit of toast, and of course my friend COFFEE!

Next most important thing to do is keep yourself hydrated. I think this year made a huge difference for benny and I, by having energy drinks and lots of water. attention span lasted longer, felt fuller for longer and didn't really have any signs of fatigue set in.

Oh and if all else fails take a Quells atleast half hour before getting in the car and then another at lunch time :merli:

Yep, keeping hydrated it a biggy. You gotta always feel like going to the potty. All the girls at Targa use those lady wee things so they don't need to strip down full to widdle. They can just stand up next to the boys on the side of the road. Its ahhhh, piss funny :merli:

Roy - Nah, E3 is an import rally car, can put Tassie SI rego on it though... my old GTR which still has it years later!

phunky - Road car, 3.2's are cheap now for what they offer, but 996 C2 isn't that much more and offers more go a proper roof, and less stick from mates!

So..... went to Winton today for a bit of a cobweb cleanout and to evaluate some new tyres (since me and Dunlop M1's were not great friends) and got halfway through the 1st practise session and I popped another front right wheel bearing - same as I did at Targa Wrest Point earlier in the year.

Don't suppose anyone out there might want to proffer an opinion on why I'm suddenly doing front right wheel bearings after 5 years?? The only significant difference on the car since before this issue started is a Nismo front diff. But I can't think why that might be doing it (unless someone can tell me otherwise?)

Andrew that's wierd as. where is it failing?

I guess you've checked every link and bush? even check the wierd stuff like king pins out.

I had that run where I broke both castor rods in 6 months but no problems since.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
