Hey Dominic,

Great idea, have you entered one of these before?

Provided my car is together I'll be entering this next year.

When I was at Eastern Creek this morning, the East Coast classic rally was on, they are now allowing modern cars to enter as well. Looked tops, they ran the figure 8 skidpan and EC track this morning, then were driving up to Bathurst to do a couple of laps there - it would be a top few days out!

Guys Im always looking for a navigator as my wife can only make a few rallies a year.

I was entered in the East coast classic but the RTA (bastards) didnt approve my GTiR race car on time.

Hey Dominic-Ben Gibson here. You just pop up everywhere don't you?

I take it you're pretty happy with your new GT-R.

Just a word to the wise-steer clear of that Fatz guy-he's a bloody menace.

Watch out for Duncan too-i think he likes little boys.

So you'll be giving the GTR a shakedown at EC skidpan on the 21st? I'll see you there.

Thats the way the Dutton works. Driver and co-driver. The same course is undertaken with each person driving by themselves and at the end of the comp. prize for best driver, prize for best co-driver and prize for for best combined. Its a lot of fun for a small amount of money about $1k each.

That includes food but not accomodation or beer (add another $1k for beer)

I have competed a few years in the GP rally with my STi (www.grandprix.com.au) which used to be called the Dutton Rally.

Hi ben yes I have the GTiR, GTR, VB commodore, Nissan Stanza so I belong to groups with each. Not booked into 21 EC skid pan.

Hi Duncan.. Navigators-co-drivers are extremely hard to find as most people say yeah Id love it.. then when they hear License required, need to take a few days off work, you pay half entry, accomodation and beer. I pay all car costs (Except you smash it you own it or fix it) then they start to think twice.

don't worry, cancel that, checked the sup regs, requires L2 or L2s which is just a sprint license. You may have a pair in a skyline to keep you honest......

and CAMS license thread is here:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
