Serious decisions to be made..... Tugga High Country, or a week in the Whitsundays on a 54' self-drive powerboat. LOL (amazing how 6hrs can throw so many curve balls at you!)

Edited by Marlin
anyone watch Targa NZ on the weekend? Good to see Parsons is still racing his TR7 V8

speaking of the Parsons TR7, YT is in NZ at the moment, spoke to him tuesday and

he was doing lap's at hampton down's in Parson's rig, recon's it's a fair jigger....

Yeah I had the choice between TWP11 and Whistler.

I'm going skiing :P

I heard they're not allowing strokers and sequentials in.... shock horror! LOL

Where are they covered in the eligibility regs again? :P

Good to see the guys are serious about this

Looks like I now have seats sorted for HC (provided we make the cut), TWP and TT.

Now just need to try and find a classic silly seat for Rally Tas!

Ben, I'm on my way up wash your mouth out for even saying you're contemplating not doing High Country :D

Catchy's missus saying in the background of our phone conversation, "remember David, you have a family now!" has kind of taken the sheen off it for me to be frank.

I like to have a crack, not just drive around, and to have that shit hanging over my head sucks a thick one.

I dunno Sav. I had 800 down since April toward TT2011 and asked them to shift it over towards THC. Now I need to ask Helen to shift it back again! LOL

I'm determined to do TT2011. Tim said he's locked in with me, time will tell I guess, knew I shouldn't have taught him so well :happy:

Who's got timmy for targa high?

I'm OUT!

David Smokespole can't even find the time to call me back, so yeah, I've lost interest.

I'm going boating and drinking with Giant instead :)

That sucks the big one Woo! Either way I'm sure you'll enjoy the Whitsundays :nyaanyaa:

When I look at all the money torn up doing these events, then look out in front of my place - no big boat. Good choice. We call it fun Ben, but those closest to us my have a diffferent spin lol.

oh no's, how will all those Targa spec emo's on my105 sell now?

Anyone know if Weeksy is converting to the super turefo spec's?

ALL?? Only X see Beaumonts 2.4 stroker... but did see JK has his RS & N1 for sale. Both very good cars.

TT

You doing it Greggy?

Nah... doing a ground up rebuild and looking to do the PP thing. Plus wouldnt mind a few casual road trips like Mt Stuart in the future. Mind you some of the THC roads look trick. (Speaking of THC hang on...)

Maybe we have done our last Targa. The last one was what I wanted to do, but not with all the wank that followed. Might even run someone in our car - cos I still like beating the factories (and anyone else that finishes behind us).

Six years is a long time and when we lost Bunnings the cost became unsustainable. New challenges I think. The TPCR with the likes of Hooch and A.Lawson seems like fun though.

TWP & TWP are on the horizon - but will be modern classic by the time we get there.

TT

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
