Great news! We have an additional sponsor!

Targa Tom has kindly donated his set of DMS springs/shocks for use in Targa! They're on the way to the workshop as we speak. With this setup it should be alot more supple on the bumpy stuff, and easier to drive wet :( Can't wait to feel the difference!

Thank you Greg! :(

Also, Russ and I have waived goodby to our cars, they're on the way to Melbourne town. We'll next see them in Launceston on the Monday before the event.

Awesome. I just bought new remotely adjustable Teins for my car. So if you would like back to back my current Teins with the DMS to find out what works better. I am keen as mustard to get the best suspension under my car as it is going to be outgunned in the power stakes when t gets back on the track

Did you cry and wave hankies as they left? :down:

Your ANZAC barbie sounds like a nice and easy plan for a catch up, if no dramas with all of us crashing (with bring our own supplies ofcourse).

You need something to harness all that RB20 power Roy. I'll save you wearing out gear... My old Skyline is running Tein on the track down here and is quite competitive. You can get away with a lot on the track... buy the best you can afford.

The differnce between 15k suspension and 5k suspension is 10k. You get what you pay for.

For Targa, where you are looking for a set-up that is good at least 75% of the time (a lot harder than it sounds) the of the shelf Tein(even with additional EDFC 32clicks) will be found wanting.

DMS Ohlins Proflex Intrax MC Stack Koni Exe-TC and there are others actually work.

I am sure Tein make a 15k shock for their race teams too...

Thanks for plug Ben, only too happy to help.

Well this is them,

Not saying they are the best, but from what i understand they are the second best Teins you can get. They will eb revalved with new springs to suit my setup so they are not $15k but they are worth more then i want to spend :down:

So talking dollars i think they are easily comparable to the 50mm DMS so will be interesting to see how they compare. Oh and my current RAs are effectively the same as the pictured RS only without the extra adjustability and remote reservoir

BUT , on topic. Go the GTSt! :thumbsup:

This is Brisby - he's a complusive buyer of parts for that car. Only 5% ever actually end up on the car but he buys parts left, right and centre anyways. I think he had 11 different brake set-ups at one stage there! :)

Oh - and Sat night BBQ sounds good for me too. Will give you a buzz Sat arvo or something Benny to confirm it.

oh no it's super secret :) RE55S,

unfortinatully the video dosn't show the road condition at the end of the stage. Basicly from just after the chicane when it goes down hill. The road had been cold sealed like a week before the event, so there was bluemetal all over it.

just on cameras, my diy bullet cam and sd recorder arrived the other day, and i'm not sure which angle i want.

Why the change Troy? I thought you were really happy with the RA's?

..basically. Have always wanted to run a GTR rear end in my car as there is lots of slop in the diff, shafts/cvs etc. So the RS are for a GTR so i can do a new cradle with all fresh bits and then just offer it up to the underside of the car meaning its not in parts for too long. Anyone that has driven my car will know the knocks and slpo it has from its hard 190,000kms

Good luck with the event guys and Kel. I can only imagine how awesome the whole experience would be! :P

OMG Snowman is already famous- spotted in the Neesan eNewsletter today.

Guess that means you won't be wanting a *no thanks to Nissan Aus* sticker :D

Which has started me off again :bunny: .... have I ranted here yet about how pathetic it is that Nissan now has the best Tarmac Rallying car going around in Aus, yet instead of supporting some real racing for a change they've thrown their budget at putting an R35 safety car in front of a bunch of bogans?

/Kel ends rant :bunny:

I personally like to see a bit of in the car in the incar- I definitely think it gives a better sense of what it's really like to drive these stages.

Outside the car ends up looking a bit too cruisy to me if you don't get good sound to hear what the cars actually doing?

Despite that ending I love The Sideling. Though I reckon each time I've done it, it takes at least 10 minutes after the stage for my arse cheeks to unclench (sorry that was a big crude, but the truth :D )

Yeah I'm not going to upset Nissan just yet. They have been nice to me so far and I'm also trying to get them to give me a 370Z for Dutton NSW this year, and maybe do some more in the future so whilst I'm working on all of that I won't be shitting on them (but usually I'm first in line for a good shit!).

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
