yea the jap spec bluebird with the z18 turbo came with IRS back in it to. maybe a cheaper alternative to building a dr bar the fact they are ugly as sin. haha.

one of the blokes down here built one as a gravel rally car. i think they won there class 2 years running.

timmy has spoken to the bloke that has it in length as im not sure im alowed to make this public knolage.... but he used to have one..... and it was modified..... haha.

Wouldn't be a bad caper, Z18 would probably hold you back since they are getting hard to find parts for...

Oh and I still have a bluebird, its actually a light weight chassis edition! Finding a new how soon though and will no doubt turn into a khanax hack.

Speaking of VC/VH Commies this has come up for sale

would be a good base, or even just a good car to drop a 20/25/30 (since its ready all ready to drop one in)

Although not truly being a rotary person I can't help but be convinced by their perfromance and so for Classic...

a JDM series 3 RX-7 Turbo run under MS with 13B and Group C guards would have to be of the best cost effective answers to the 911 RS'.

Cheap to buy, EFI controlled, a great handler even before the cage and chassis prep, and the rules have heaps of tollerence to address all the standard cars sort falls, plus it looks good and those that don't love it will have to suffer the sound!

It appears that not only do you have to have a turbo charged Mazda to run Modern, Showroom, Early Modern but now Classic, you need to seek professional help from somebody in a white coat.laughing-smiley-014.gif

Group C kits and guards are a tollerence that used to be in years ago, but was removed, BUT will be now back in to encourage more of the Group C style cars, particually the Commodores and Falcons... the crowds love them obviously and there are a few of each (Commo and Falc) in the build.

I'd better go buy GT-R again to try and start looking creditable!

Spoke to Lawse the other week about the Z. Will catch up next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Who do you know that has a really wicked Datto 240Z Stu? YT called me the other day, saying someone offered him one for Classic Adelaide, but he was too pissed to rememeber.

Any ideas?

Sierra XR8?

Google it Woo. South African special like the Perana Capri. 1984 (?) onwards 4 dor Sierra shell (think XR4i) with a 302 V8 shoved in the front.

I work with a Saffa who was a major player in the race car scene there in the 80's/90's, and there were many specials to be had. Most of them homologated, although even Mr Benson's love for a good rotor may not stretch to a 20B Mazda 323?

Googled it...... has some promise, good thing is it's carbie'd, not that rotten injection they ran in the later 302's.

One must wonder what the balance is like though and how the hell you'd keep a rear end in it within the rules once you had a fit Windsor in it?

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
