May be you guy's could just hard'n up a frac, it was going before you guy's started rallying,

and it will be going on long after we all finish!!!, no point sooking over it!!!

Just my opinoin.. :cool:

Yeah i herd the same thing that he has lost his nerve abit, but maybe like Garwood after his smash in Targa a couple of years ago said he would never race a car again and he came back better than ever, it might just take time before he's keen again

What Happened to you and Matt? or were you never doing TWP just the big one? I couldn't remember cos now your not listed on either entry list

Haha, you gravel boys are all the same John :)

Yeah we where entered but only a couple of weeks out the GTR run in to some mechanical problems we couldn't sort them out in time and the car had a brand new motor in it and Matt didn't wont to push things. We have just entered Targa Rookie now so we are going to have the GTR better prepared now anyway as for TWP the GTR was going to still have the old Bilsteins in it from when Marlin owned it and few other thing we pushing it for time to be ready anyway.

Taking the GTR over on the boat tomorrow night back to RacePace to be sorted and also have new suspension set up put in and hopefully the car well be all set and ready for Targa and then it well be just up to us to have a crack and hope we have better luck as we found out what could go wrong went wrong at the worst of times but that seems to be norm around here some time lol

connector on the fuel pump relay loosened up on dave ayers' 33... btw: how tough does his car look with the bronze rims!

the supperleggera r is an australian model produced from all genuine lamborghini parts with 120 pages of lamborghini documentation... think rx8 sp.

penned in whitfield road for thc back in december!... love the bit where you drive at the sky with the cliff face and power lines, that section is just as awesome in coming back up the hill!

thanks lady!... the weekend was good fun, shame we lost those two stages, but thanks to a star picket impaled horse, crash needing two ambulances, two fires on a total fire ban day and a collapsed spectator we were simply running out of time.

you know it gorgeous!

re corner cutting, priority wasn't given to this at twp... some tt there will be no white lines either as a new system is being implemented that will discourage corner cutting or clipping.

yeah lots of fuel sampling was done and a number of vehicles failed pre-event... these vehicles were all found to be using the correct fuel during the event. although one e85 vehicle was penalised saturday night for using incorrect e85.

bloody gtr fuel pums, we found out on the way to the sidling last year, that the fuel pump control modual earths through the case it's in. The car died cause the nuts had rattled loose, and the case lost contat with the body. The car looks awsome with the bronze rims, but the wheels sit too far inboard needs more aggresive offset or spacers :P

RE E85: I heard you could (legally) get it from 2 sources, and one was a lot cheaper than the other. Is that the case?

The entire strech from Whitfield to the power lines is just brilliant. Looking forward to tackling it :P

The 'incorrect' E85 you speak of being used, was that E85 obtained from another supplier (ie not through the official TWP channels)

or an incorrect blend?

I know the person who got the fine, and they bought it over from Victoria, cost him

about $2.35, including getting it to the service area's, it's criminal to charge $4.00 a litre for E85!!..

and it was not Targa's E85 so they pinned him for running higher octane unleaded, even when he

said, "it's not unleaded, it's E85"..

I take it you mean he had the car filled up when it came over???

If not im intrigued how he managed to get it across if he came on the spirit :D

He filled the car up in Melbourne, then filled a 44 gal drum, and i shipped it over for him!!!

Was this person a Skyline driver? I know of an STi driver who was thinking of doing the same. :)

Either way, $4+ for E85 seems a little steep does it not? Does limiting supply through only 1 channel have ACCC implications?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
