Now I'm even more puzzled as to how you knew he was my cousin! Or rather, how you knew I was his cousin.

Now I'm more confused!

You said on nissansilvia/hardtuned that you had moved down and were his cousin (he had mentioned you before I think?)

Ahh indeed I did.

Looks like I'll need to have a gander at the Targa Tas website soon and see when things are on and whereabouts in relation to Launceston, so I can plan some day trips around the place to go and watch!

btw for any navis lurking on this thread (who aren't facebook friendly).

Mozza has passed this on to the Rallying Nav's & Co-Drivers of Australia group on facespace...

Peter Leimuss requires a Nav/co driver for the lefthand seat of his R35 GTR SKyline, please conact Helen Coad at the TARGA TAS office to book your seat,

EXPERIENCE IS VERY NECESSARY,Vandenberg pace notes, and weight is an advantage (or lack of!) !!!!! Flights, accom etc provided

Having done 2 rallies with Pete I can definitely vouch for his driving :rant:

Aww I so wish I was qualified!! :) That would be awesome!

Leavin his run a bit late ole Pete ineee.

Jenna woulda been spot on for this but she's got a ride in a Dak Dak with Maxxy.

I don't reckon navvie weight will be too much of a drama, heck, they could be 100kg and still only be .002% of the car weight!

Where's Fatz?

After spending the 1st evening with the new toy I don't know if I'm more looking forwards to the racing or the recce now!

They really are a very nice bit of kit and I can see why they'd have to be the car of choice for Targa.

Phew! Finally built up the courage to try transfering the car into full Qld rego today :)

Yesterday I obtained mod plates for 6 point cage, brake upgrade, two seater, race seats, harnesses, boot fuel system. Held my breat and went down to Qld transport this morning.... sailed through! YEAH!!!

SHAKE and BAKE! :(

Hey TT, awesome offer my man!!! I've been thinking about it a little more.... car is on a truck to MPC in Melbourne next week, maybe we could send the setup there, they an corner weight and wheel align?

And this "Benno - Thanks mate, it was you who made the difference!!! " is that me or are the kudos for someone else? :)

Hey....... WHO ELSE IS PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna go faaaaast!!!

Well Greg very kindly offered a lend of it! Told you before you meet the best people in rallying :(

I'm still tossin it up I reckon I have a pretty sweet dry setup now and I've spent some time in the wet, and a big thing is I know the car how it is. I've no doubt the DMS would be easier to handle in the wet, and likely quicker..... but, the 64 thousand dollar question.... will it be wet or dry? Or both?

I'm also runnin short of time, would need to PAY to get it installed and corner weighted in Melbourne - another 5 to 600 spent.... just gets outa control.! And what if I bend it? I own it then! You're hearin me hey :)

well i am a mate of Savmans and skyvas but i wasnt sure what i was doing with last years crew. i will no doubt be floating about over the weekend events but still not sure.

I was on a really good deal last year but didnt really think that anyone would match it for this year so i just sat back. now with all the hype of the even growing i kinda want to be involved again.

sorry about that

What are peoples thoughts on not having time cards this year (allegedly).

The go is they will have a white board at the stop point where your car number and finish time will be written. however, i don't believe whiteboards and markers work all that well in the wet?

I don't like the idea of not having a physical time written.

Why don't you want to service for kerry? don't know enough about the VW? CBF? all of the above?

Should look after savman if he doesn't already have anyone.

Yes Kel, MPC. The guys are great, and always do a superb effort. I was hoping for a speccy deal this year like I got last year, but what with five of their normal runners pulling out over the last couple of weeks, unfortunately, full whack it is.....

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
