D'oh! poor fellas. on the bright side at least he hit the cheap end... :P

I didn't even know it had started yet!!

be carefull the rest of you boys (and girl) :kiss:

ps. the 'girl' is russ...

They still ra nthe Shakedown but were only allowed to run up the hill, not down and then up. it's claimed a few cars over the years that tree. Both 35's were looking do today through both stages i did. Ben and Russ really seem to know how to push the car, going very hot into the chicanes too. caught up with them after the competition today, 2 of the nicest blokes you will ever meet :-)

Ben and Russ has a minor off today, and the running-people-over bonnet popped up. Looking at the car you wouldn't know it had been off the road (now the bonet is back down). Appart from that they are going great, just wishing for r comp tyres, the std ones are quote "shithouse"

hey you know that they've been trying when they have to get pulled out of a ditch.

Kel and Tony are in 6th, still not really happy with the tyres or handling either but at least they are giong a long way better than at Targa.

Is it still going to be wet tomorrow Ben?

Toyo are supposed to be releasing an R Comp (R888's) for the R35 at the SEMA motorshow in November apparently. I must say I've never thought the Toyo's were much chop on heavier cars like normal GTR's but given these were pretty much specifically designed for this car for the US market they might be ok (and surely will be better than what the options are now).

Anyways despite the small issues it sounds like from the text mssages that the boys are having some fun so thats all that matters.

There are a bunch of Evo 9s kicking around in the country with Ralliart TMM (Team Mits Motorsport) style stickers.

Different one from Targa roll over.... that was Rod Salmon

:)

My car, I sold it to Rod

Good stuff....Kel ended up coming home in 5th which I reckon is a pretty good outing.

Rus and Ben also made it home (9th) although I hear there were a few white post casualties on the last stage - then again who hasn't knocked out one or two of them :wacko:

And funnily enough the DK R32 came home equal 5th with the DK R35. I guess the old nuggets still go OK too.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
