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)

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
