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...

I'm on the boat tonght. :)

I'm all packed and ready. The car however isn't. LOL It was still in pieces when I left it late last night but it should all be sweet come 6pm tonight.

I still need to find some helping hands down in Tas (especially for day 5) but hopefully we can find someone friendly enough to help some blokes out.

I'm quite happy to carry fuel, and have tools for you to use.

I thought you were running Ben? You guys are on the list!

But we have tools and I have a handy guy with them sitting next to me for the week but my calcs show we won't live off just getting fuel at the lunch break each day.

I my pretty sure Day 3 after Mt Rowland, Day 4 after Cethana and Day 5 both before and after Mt Arrowsmith I'm going to need a top-up. Dan should hopefully be able to help us out days 3 and 4 but he can't be in 2 places at once on Day 5! lol

Yeah I have, they hurt when thrown by a man. So I reckon I'm safe. :laugh:

There are a few things in this world that you dont mess with...a mates Mrs .... fark off dogs with foam dripping from their mouths... vag with foam dripping from it..... AND Snowies right arm. Its a precision instrument, he clocked me in the head from about 30mtrs with a lemon, AFTER a night on the bottle. I am sure if he was sober it would have taken my head clean off :)

I heard they'll be placing a fuel rig between Queenstown and Arrowsmith mate. Maybe contact race control to get the facts?

Interesting. The BP in Queenstown is no longer there so that option was gone, and I've signed up for fuel with the Vandenbergs but thay have only listed having fuel in Tarraleigh on day 5 currently. I will see what I can find out about this rumour of yours. Be great if it was true!

My name hasn't been changed on the site yet, but i'll be crewing for dad. So i'm sure you will need fuel at the same places as dad, and you will be at a similar place in the pack.

Vandenbergs always say they're only having fuel at Tarraleigh, and always end up having a splash and dash spot at the intersection after the Strahan stage before you enter Queenstown.

I heard they'll have rotating full tankers on Arrowsmith Stage for rolling refuels of the guys running E85. :ermm:

I'm setting up refuel 5klm before the end of Arrowsmith. $20- a litre. For E10.

my $10/l E85 is looking pretty cheap about now.

E85 guys will need a fill on the arrowsmith start and finish line.

      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.
