I agree they were awsome, they poor guys supporting them didn't get much sleep leading up or during the event.

It's good to know that if you're 500m off in the shrubbery/dam. someone will know where you are, and that you're in trouble.

Yeh damn good product and we only used a 10th of its capabilities, they are going to make a shit load out of it for sure!

I still like to have a terratrip (good for accurate distances/if you get lost etc), but I have figured out how to route the course (in google maps) accurately and upload it to my GPS, giving me complete turn by turn guidance for the entire day.

Regards the meters, I had the GPS unit that snowy had, but the missus found it was pretty laggy at high speed.....maybe I just drive faster than Snowy. :) Its upside was it was very easy to swap into your recci car and use to find the starts of the stages and gather some distances for your notes at recci pace....but no guarantee they would correlate at race pace. landmarks are still definately the win for that aspect of noting.

We ended up fitting a monit. Nice bit of kit and well priced. (And light lol)

The Rallysafe is a great bit if kit and I can imagine if it is embraced by the organisers and fully enabled, it will pretty much make the terratrip/monit redundant.

^^^^ Yep, I had checked them and they are light....just very retro looking.:)All the gear and no idea!!! Thats how I roll!!

Re the monit, was a piece of piss to set up and calibrate. Grab a speed pulse from your ECU (plus a +ive and earth) , then have a known length of raod to drive, press one button, drive the set distance, tell it how far you just drove (couple of button presses), press one more button and job done.

Its worth noting that the old faithful Terratrip is, contrary to what it looks like, very light.

I actually broke my Terratrip probe, does anyone know the best place to buy a new one?

Wheel probe or gearbox?

BSM Sport benny, that's where I get my terra gear from. Only about $50 I think...

Thanks Pete, ordered and on its way :)

Was going to toss one in with your sticks... never mind. You are sorted?

We used to smash ours often - actually ran two for safety. If I was to use wheel probe again a teflon scraper to stop the 14mm bluemetal between the probe and bolt syndrome would be the go.

TT

Gee thanks Greg, and yeah it came today mate. That's a good idea, run another on the other side wire run ready to plug in I guess?!

I think we rooted it at Mt Stuart, we didn't need the Ttrip do didn't notice it was broke til now.

No need to have it ready to plug in Benny, all Terra trip's are designed to run 2 probe's anyway, just have a quick look on the back of your unit

the plug is marked Probe 1 and Probe 2, all you do is wire it in, and press the Probe button to scroll between them..

yet more idea's from the gravel making there way into Tarmac...:thumbsup:

opinions....can you have a well setup targa 33 gtr which is a weapon in circuit events? hoping for a car that can do low 2:20's (on slicks) at bathurst this year but want it to fit within the targa rules.

or do i give up and buy an evo and forget about the circuit stuff? (sorry to mention the e word on here)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
