^^^^ Certainly. And I guess the severity of the understeer and the outcome (ie. near miss or shambolic car destruction...first one that comes to mind is "Closes Corner" on that dodgy tighter than you think right hand corner after the rail crossing) determines if it is understeer of fail or epic fail.:)

"Matt Close in the Audi TTRS at Targa Tasmania" definately had a severe case of "Understeer of fail" there......

(I'm only saying that because I know he Googles him name often and will see this. Won't ya Captain Fathom :D)

^^^^ Bahahaha.... What a setup. Now you certainly will know for sure if he does. Maybe "Matt Close in the Audi TTRS at Targa" couldnt drive a greasy stick up a dogs arse ;) But apparently he can drive a ship up one. :) Love your work Matt if you are tuning in :)

They've opened it to Early Modern, and yeah, a 6.5 would be perfect :P (2002)

I'm still out though.

This year I'm just going to do Drive Bathurst and waste the rest of the Motorsport budget next year on a planned overseas motorsport jaunt. (all my plans could change completely within the next 5 minutes though! haha)

So no TWP or TT?

Seems the delivery salmon finally made it to the mainland with video footage. :)

".....Tune in to 7 Mate on Saturday August 27 at 3:30pm to relive all the action from the first ever Targa High Country and at 4:30pm you can watch all the thrills and spills that was Targa Wrest Point 2011....."

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • 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!
