What cops? ours are all in court babysitting criminals. If your smart and recce in a silver falcon, people think you are the cops (as was the case twice during Rally Tas recce!)

So that was YOU!? Hahah nice

On another note, feeling lucky we aren't using BIGRED for Targa...fingers crossed that's the only engine Handbags does this year :)

Yeh lol! Had a couple of ppl spooked!

^^^ Hopefully he puts in a good showing and gets the old girl to the end :)

I'm not prepared to predict his pace, many other big names have come and tried it and been bitten hard. He's done it once before (I think?), so he has a better chance I guess.

Benny and Damo..... fun and easy aren't they :)

How does it compare to your GTR on times Ben? I know it's a totally different thing to drive......

I'm interested to see how Lindsay Stone goes...... you'll remember we ran against him in his Ser 4 RX7 in Townsville Timmy.... he punts that thing well :)

The EM list is a good one...... lots of competition and I wish I was there!

it'll be ric shaw then daylight.

the gtst is about 2 secs a lap off the gtr. But there is still plenty of time to be gained in the gtst, as it's only done about 20 laps, and the gtr has done a couple of 100 laps.

On other news our Gravel EVO 9 is back from getting tuned at MPC. just fiddly bits to do now before first round on the 19th.

Making some good power considering its running a restrictor. Antilag and Launch are very phat too :P Im actually scared to think how quick it will be on gravel comeing from a sprinkler!

Almost looking more forward to running in it than Targa!

I'll be swinging for Lindsay so should be a little bit different to sitting in coops gtr.

I'm also curious to see how we go considering Lindsay scored 11th in class at Classic Adelaide 2yrs ago (I think) with a greenhorn navi.

From whispers i've heard up this way there is a few guys coming down to service and spectate...

Might embarrass more than a few.....

walter

hasn't been seen since Mr Wollek's stint??

will be cool to see walter rohrl there but not sure how he goes these days at 65.

I had to laugh at this quote from Jim richards in the same article.

Legend Jim Richards, on the other hand, will be running a brand-spanking 911 GT2 RS.

"I guess for us it's a bit like Walter (Rohrl) in that San Remo Rally," smiles Richards.

"We've got an exceptionally good rear-drive car that is pretty close to being a standard road car and we'll be up against some highly-tuned all-wheel drive cars built to go rallying."

!!! come on jim. standard road car my arse cheek. walter rohrl was driving a porsche agaisnt a factory audi quatro (with more power and more grip). big difference... the GT2 is just about the biggest weapon you can buy for tarmac rally. I don't think the guys in those "all wheel drive racing cars" would see it as an underdog.....

fair credit to jim, he is one of the best touring car drivers ever and one of the bet tarmac rally drivers ever too and has put a lot into getting the best out of those porsches but I'd hardly rate a fully prepped brand new GT2 as being at a disadvantage againt an evo or wrx or even R35.... There would be very few cars out there with as much power and torque as the porsche and plenty would be happy to have it's grip and chassis balance too.

I think Walter will still go alright!!

What a great sight it will be to see him out there in his old rally SC. Awesome. :worship:

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
