Also similar damage and accident to our R33 in Targa 2009 on Strahan, although different cause. That looked pretty violent! We had winged seats and I am sure they saved us any real injury.

Our car didn't look that bad either, even when we got it home and took off all the damaged panels. The car sat under the house for about 6 months while we procrastinated about what to do. The more we looked the more damage we found though. A little crease here, a stretch on the seam there. Eventually decided to reshell (albeit into an R32) and very happy with the outcome.

The guy who took the damaged shell found so many more stress marks/fractures/creases in places we would have never looked, it confirmed the reshell decision as correct. The cost of repair vs reshell was similar for us too, although being an R34 this may be different for you. Choose with your head not your heart when it comes to repairs, although that's alot easier said than done...

Well Mark who i used to see regularly around the traps at tracks in Vic is selling his R34, It was always a tidy and well presented car with quality mods....and I cant believe his asking price!

Heard visibility was on the ordinary side of things for most of the event, would have to think MM would struggle to hold an event with such small numbers?

Apparently there was 11 entrants - but one was ineligible.

Anyways - I think they HAD to run this one to show they were committed regardless of numbers. They had cancelled their last few and there were plenty of stories going around that this was going to follow the same path. So I'm glad it did go ahead and I hope they stick around in 2012 and get more numbers.

Options are always nice - especially since these events are far more accessible than Tassie as a rule (at least they are for us Mexicans). I might have to try and make the Baw Baw event in Feb.

But I must say - if the weather up there on Sat was anything like what is was in Melb then it wouldn't have been much fun!

Weather was horrible at the Alpine as well. We lost both our cars, one ate a tree and the other went head first roll over into a gorge >_< Damage was freakishly small for the roll over (thanks to the soft brush it went into) but the tree eater will need some work/time. :)

Which cars were you working on Roy?

Did you see the tassie boys in the Dirty 30 (R30 Skyline?)

Yeh, the 4 door? I was the drunk out front of their place at 11pm Sunday night. :) I was looking it over when they saw me from their living room and one of them came out and chatted. They had a gearbox problem but got it all sorted and finished the event.

Unfortunately Tim had an issue with brake pedal which put him out Sunday morning. I was hoping he could give the EVO's a run. Two cars (EVO and WRX) went off on the very first run at the same spot, Arnolds bend, with the WRX retiring with body damage. That run did not count in any case as it was supposed to be an acclimatization run!

Yes Blaise, turnout poor, weather even poorer, but total satisfaction re organization and delivery of event. Well done to Peter and Tim of Mountain motorsports.

Yep, hear you Serge. I hope they get the support at future events as its always nice to have choice. Would be a great option if i was a little closer. :) I guess the challenging conditions make it more of a test. Had meant to ask if anyone from here made it up there.

Ouchy wah wah!!!!

Not sure if I could think of anything more embarrassing! :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
