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:

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
