Yep all barring, the car does ok at Rally Tas end of the month.

Why you looking for a victim to sit in your silly seat?

Na just wondering. Damo is going to be my nav

haha Trav and the GT-R will have their work cut out, both are listed next to Dad and I. I think there is a few busy navigators in the list at the moment

I think he's pushing shit uphill to get it there, i'll take of pic of it when I go out to my car tonight. But it's just a bare shell, with the cage installed (only was finished on the weekend).

My guess is that the old faithfull N1 will be pulled out a week before the event, and have brakes tyres and oil thown at it.

I wish we could here our intercom because you'd here Matt tell me "Don't try and race him" HAHAHAHAHA - yeah right!

To which you replied to me "Nah... I'm not!". haha - lying bastard! What would your wife say if I didn't at least 'try' to keep the red mist at bay. ;)

Great to meet ya Matt! Shame you couldn't hang around longer Sunday night..... I was under strict instructions to mess you up! :P lol

Haha, good to meet you too mate. I'm sorry I missed the after party, but my one remaining kidney probably isn't! Ended up having a few with Newton/Paris etc on the boat instead.

Roy can at least be satisfied that he has 'people' out there willing to do his his dirty work.

Looks like I'm going to have to do some hard core training at the pub leading up to Tas. y'know.. to stay in drinking shape. ;)

:O mannn that was fast/sketchy! Makes my footage seem really boring...

Dad and I had a fun weekend, got down to Devonport, drove to Hobart, went through doc & scrutineering then recce'd the first day's stages before drivers briefing. Left straight after that and finished the 2nd day's stages just before dark.

Car ran fine however started to shudder under brakes half way through every stage from about the 2nd or 3rd stage. Same thing happened on the 2nd day at High Country so we had the disc's runout checked then machined (wasn't far out) and replaced the steering rack bushings, caster bushings, wheel bearings, brake pads and had the wheels balanced but still the same problem so we are back to the drawing boards to work out what it is :/

Anyway here's a vid i put together of the Oyster Cove 1 stage

Did anyone think the stop point for Oyster Cove was a little close to the TF?

what rotors do you have? they are probably warping when the get hot, and going back to shape when they cool down.

Here's some pics of Dads STI that he wants to run in 8 weeks

    • 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!
