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....

yep i remember the car, nice and clean but the one thing that stuck with me is, the mint pair of oakley frogskin's the driver was running for the weekend........:thumbsup:

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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
