Good on ya Timmy! Just to let everyone know, Tim's been headhunted by hot steerer and great bloke Gavin James. These boys will give the Early Modern guys a red hot run in their non turbo 944 :happy:

GO LADS!

Gavin couldn't sell the car? Good work Timmy, you should be a good chance for a podium.

Thanks guys, was a major last minute decision, but will be a good one hopefully.

Haven't discussed service crew arrangements with Gav yet, but Ben are you and Damo servicing this year? Wouldn't be asking you to put yourselves out and service for us, but maybe help us with a splash of fuel?

I'm crewing for Dad, and Damo is crewing for Kerry. I can carry extra fuel for you, and i'll have tools/race tape/cable tie's on hand if needed. I image Damo will be the same, but you'll need to check with him

Still chasing some accomodation, floor space, a roof... anything in Strahan really just for two, as she is totally booked out :)

Have made many calls nationwide, there is zip!

And I really don't think queenstown is an option since, we most likely won't have a car down there and the road closes at 6:58am queenstown end :D

i see the mazdabaters are running e85, i'll be interested to see what their fuel econamy is like, and if the car arrives with a bathurst tank. rX8's are thirsty at the best of times, let alone with a turbo

I heard Glenney is concerned it won't make the distance over Arrowsmith.

I wonder how many cars we will find run out of fuel toward the end of the stage this year? Only person I know who isn't worried is Barry Oliver, he was quite comfortable the new GT3 RS would get through fine since its the same capacity tank as the GT2, but more economical.

might buy a drum of e85 and sell it for $10/l, 5k from the end of the stage.

can't see any issue with that as long as you buy it from the monopoly supplier at whatever price they deem fair :laugh:

hmmmmmm, im not sure if that looks like fun or is like one of those amusement rides that scares the shit out of you to the point that you cant wait for it to be over so you can get off.

the shots with the cliff is unbelievable. Hats off to you people...much respect.

Nine more sleeps and I'm there!

ps: nice to keep reliving those potato farming adventures boys :laugh:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
