That would be our black Skyline which my lovely wife was running at the event (car 832). She was going very well until the motor started to miss Saturday afternoon, finally dieing first stage Sunday. Not sure on the problem yet but heaps of blue smoke from exhaust and oil breather, so maybe piston/rings etc.

Any suggestions on pistons etc for the rebuild from those here smarter than me? I think pistons and a 1mm overbore are now allowed in EM rules? The block is genuine N1 (24U) so hopefully rods and crank are ok?

Many thanks to Adam Spence and the Mazda boys for taking the car back up the Island, and all the other rally people for their help on and off the boat etc.

cheers

there's your problem. everyone that gets #832 has trouble. Right TT?

Thats a lie, I spotted a TBSM.com sticker on the rear quarter window :P

Ahhh yes forgot about those, well if you want to be anal there are two tow stickers on the car too and our names on the window. Blue triangles are on magnets and taped down :thumbsup:

All john says is "f**king giveittoerr!!!"

not quite right savman, big John is a bit of a churchy so he prefer's flopp'n or flip'n, ya don't hear the proper F bomb till your in the bar with him at around 2am....

You know you have teh coolest wife ever right Paul?

Hope the run to Targa Tas is not too painful

Ron Jeremy = hairy fooker???? :)

YT and I were recce'ing a tricky section, and couldn't work out a way to call the notes quite right, so figured a bit of "Left 4.5 immediate Ron Jeremey" would remind him of the section :) .... Gosh I wish I was there to hear Big John read it..... LMFAO

Its either that or it was a big balls section!

Mind you - looking at his in-car every bloody corner was a big balls section! :)

But I have used random phrases or terms for some corners or sections in the past so I remember them.

Nothing as unique as Ron Jeremy - but I did use Cartmans "Respect My Authority!" phrase to note the start of the skinny section of Merseylea.

glass is in today, should be driving on the road on the weekend. Aim to enter the hill climb on the 12th Feb for the start of testing

am trying to chase sponsers though...which isn't easy when you don't have a car to show off.

Haha they are a little bright you could say...

Going to put the entry in for high country soon to secure a spot, it's still so far away though.

And there I was thinking I was the cool one in the relationship...

It is going to be very busy now till Targa, hopefully the car will be back early next week and we can get it apart quickly and find out why it happened? General consensus seems to be fuel surge? We have a couple of broken rear shocks to sort out too, and only 6 weeks and the car is back on the way to Tassy!

New's just to hand EM has a new competitor, Peter O'Keefe of black Torana fame (car 636)

he has just bought the X White Hot R34 GTR road car, and is currently getting it ready for an

all out attack on Targa 2011, will be intresting to see if his driving style suit's the GTR,

or will it run out of tyre's.....

Thought's???????!!!!!!!!!

Interesting that he bought the old road car rather than the old race car which is up for sale again.

But it'll be good to have another GT-R on board. Those pesky EMO's are getting far too cocky in EM now.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
