Blaise, I'm not sure about you, but a 200kph speed limit? That's not racing in my world.

I'm told over 20 speeding penalties were handed out to competitors (2 min penalty!) - fair dinkum guys!

I'm hearing you Matt. People have tried to explain to me why it's a good thing but I always seem to lose interest and fail to hear them finish making their point. :). TW also has restricted speed zones and chicanes, repeats of all stages and all other sorts of ghey. (including about 200km competitive made up of multiple repeats, so lets call it 100. Main reasons why I don't bother and probably won't ever.

I like the open speed limit. Good place for those that dare to make up good time. It leaves you to just focus on the driving. I think most people found the restrict speed zones required for the damaged sections in TT 2010 a little troublesome/distracting. Also a mate who did TW on the weekend after having done TT earlier in the year found it quite dangerous having either a speed cut cut in or being distracted by checking your speed when you least want to be looking down. As you guys have said above, that's the whole point. Get from one end to the other as fast as you possibly dare. No one has a gun to your head making you do over 200. If that's all the minerals you got, as Woo says, just say so. :)

Re the chook cooker, have just turned the first spanner in earnest. Can't handle any more spectating. Have done the last two nights on it and the shell is just about stripped. Wil then start on the engineering of the rear suspension. (that's the bit I am sweating on) reality is th hope of maybe fronting up for THC 2013, but such a long way to go with the car and limited time.

Had to be a spectator this year unfortunately... :geek: .it really didnt do it for me..

Finally sourced a doner shell with a 6 point cage from Sydney.

Should be on the truck next week.........now the fun really begins with transferrring the good bits from the bent car into the new doner car...

Can anyone recall any crash in Tarmac Rallying over 200kph? I started in 2004 and did at least 3 rallys a year, and I can't recall a crash over 200kph. So if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

It's up there with te 1kg of kitty litter we carry in the car - seriously - what is tat all about? Another knee jerk solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

I'm buggered if I'm walking back up the road "feeding the chickens" while Whitey flogs around the corner and cleans me up!

I can think of one... Greg 'i believe I can fly' Garwood. But that is 1 in 7+ years, which equates to 1 in 3000+ cars. But still speed, limits are no good.

And I've never seen anyone 'feeding the chickens'...not even the classics, which apparently have 80l sumps to drop oil over the entire length of a stage.

anyway Targa Adelaide is on this weekend, I'll be interested to see how Weeks old lambo goes against the Super Spagetti

^^^^^^^^^. Hahahhahaha. That puts it in perspective. Tarmac rally is for pussies!!!!! :)

While the world is still free enough to allow the Isle of Man TT and the rest of the road racing series to run, there is no place for Tarmac rally speedlimits.

Ps. Probably dead roo for protection :).

^^^^ wow! I'm sure there is a story in that..... Am guessing Quinny must have pulled 30 secs on sims for that to be possible?

From what i can see the Prolouge must be 2 laps of the same piece of road, and Quinny and Simsy came together on the overlap.

check the map and see what you recon

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
