They are pretty different. They are all about low down torque and corner speed compared to a skyline, chassis development has come a long way in 20 years. Over a stage the Subie would be faster I recon

Will be interesting to see how fast you are compared to the skyline. Still have all the creature comforts like air con and a radio?

Have to figure out how to recce the whole event on Fri, Saturday and Sunday afternoon while still getting the car past scruit and going to drivers briefing. Looked at hiring a gti golf but only allowed 400km per hire.. looks like 1800km in the patrol in 3 days

Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

You with Adam Clarke?

No. Adam is a great mate and has sat beside me a couple of times in official roles. We will carry a couple things for him but I'm actually servicing for Closey.

Getting into the whole "Spirit" this year and taking the boat over and back from Melbourne. :)

You'll have great fun. I quite enjoy crewing....not us much as racing though

No Radio, but I have A/C

hmm well it looks like Liam's awesome run of reliability (luck?) has come to an end, some sort of diff problem last night and retirement today :(

Kel and Steve changed a gearbox after the symmons plains day and a kingpin bearing failed today but they've changed the upright and still going OK. 3rd in EM today.

Looks like Ben's running 2nd in GT4 in the dirty subbie just behind super sub Timmy also in a dirty subbie, good luck guys

I love Quinny's style.....what do you post up if you put your lambo up a bank? (and he blamed the bloody nissans and other rough cars ....)

So despite Mark Perry's commitment to "stability" in the regs, the latest change is to ban e85.

Not good for my wallet since I've just spent thousands on ECU, flex sensor, fuel lines, pumps etc so I could run it at targa, but I do think it's good for the sport to slow cars down.....faster cars = bigger crashes = sooner that we are not allowed to do this any more.

I think it's more to do with getting the early modern field away from the GT2/4 pace. It wasn't announced in the release, but the GT2/4 cars have all had more weight added to them across the board, I've got to put another 40kg in the Subie, Quinny needs to put 50kg in the Lambo.

The E85 ban has been on the cards for a while, it's just been a matter of when it will happen.

Hi guys, was wanting to pick your brains on suspension choices to suit bumpy mountain roads, i thought you targa guys would have some feedback on what works.

I'm considering MCA (Reds, maybe Golds), DMS (Street series or maybe the 50mm version) and Bilstein PSS9s, a lot of good feedback on the MCAs, as well as the custom valving/spring rates which can cater to the sort of driving i like (street/mountain roads over track)

Any feedback, experiences and budgets as my budget is between $2-4K for something that improve suppleness/road contact for bumpy roads, but also provides sharpness for turn-in feel.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
