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...

Just spoke to my Dutton co-pilot (Blaise) who just returned from that pesky bit of tarmac otherwise known as the Nurburgring. And it seems he' suffering from the same problem as I had after going there in now wanting to step up to tarmac rallies in order to try and see if he can replicate the experience he got over there.

He wants to go back to his roots when we first met and was driving an imported WRX STi RA, but this time look at building a 22b replica as a tarmac car which should be sweet. It'll probably take him a good 12 months or more to get the project together but it will be tops to have him along playing in the future too (and good if I can get 12 months or so experience up on him to start with! LOL).

Dunc, hopefully there'll be at least four there, Quinny has a couple now too :) Well done Kel, hopefully she'll have a ball! :)

Snowy, Melinda Both is rebuilding her RA to a 22B replica as well, her and Paul may be of some use in getting some deals on multi buys of things like the aftermarket wide guards etc? PM me if you want her number mate.

I saw a genuine 22B on TAU in Japan for 22K about three months ago. I had a real hard think about it, but had a bit on cash-wise that week so couldn't stretch... would have been cool though.

Based on current indications there should be atleast nine or ten R35s at Targa next year.

So what are you going to have to have to be different then?

TAU = japanese car exporter. some widely differing opinions on the quality of the cars they sell. they wholesale to a lot of caryards and importers in aus.

you can certainly pick up a 22B in japan quite cheaply, no need to buy it off TAU either. :happy:

Yeah there's 3 on carales for +$100K.

His plan wasn't to buy an actual 22b but to build a replica from a cheap base but heck if he can get a genuine one at a stupid price I'm sure he'd consider it (although it'd be a shame to bugger a genuine one up with a cage etc).

I will keep an eye out at auctions. they are no where near as rare in japan as they are here. I've seen quite a few come up over the years and that was without actually looking for any!

you can also get a late model STI Type C or RA or whatever pretty damn cheap to import for race use.

Baron, i will bring the oxy, you bring the beer. I think its time we prep the S13 and show that intestinal fortitude mixed with the right amount of stupidity and my "nah mate she's flat...i have a perfectly matched set of buffed tyres so she will hold" navigating will have ..... ....people visiting us in hospital. :happy: Its up to us to bring SAU together and make our hospital waiting room the socialable meeting point of tarmac rallies :D

      Misfire/stalling issues

      All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      By MrStabby · Posted

      Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Butters · Posted

      10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.
