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 ;) )

The sideling is tops, just spent some time last night going over it and the notes (TV spec).

On the camera thing im planning on using the POV for a forward view (dash in view) and the GoPro for a view back onto the crew or stick it outside somewhere.

Gotta give a big shout out to the RGM Racing boys (Giant). A fellow competitor, Paul Bergman, somehow ended up with the incorrect front diff in his 33 GTR he's been rebuilding, with three days before it's to be on the truck. In a fantastic effort, Mark and Russ said they could help and already have a new front diff installed, during work hours.

Told ya, best people ever are doing rallying :P

How do you end up with the wrong front diff?

rally guys always help you out.

Hey all,

Is there some night or day event or something near Launceston where all the competitors are (hopefully) going to be displaying the cars?

Would love to come get a look at them, unfortunately I've started working and don't think I'll be swing any days off to come to any of the stages around Launceston / northern Tassie.

Want to get a look at all these fancy Skylines coming down to little ol tassie :stupid:

I think the story went something like the car was purchased without an engine and the new engine somehow ended up with an old 34 sump on it.... hence wrong ratios.

The old motor blew up, and the previous owner bought another motor as replacement, but had the R34 sump on it with the wrong ratio.

The car is nearly done, new exhaust was put in yesterday and its is getting tuned on either monday or tuesday, few more little bits and pieces to do and then its off to Tas.

f**king cold! haha

But seriously its been a bit fresh in the mornings, but we are still having alot of 20 degree days.

Oh and I just want to thank one of my new sponsors: Mum Racing for supplying me with a HANS device! thanks mum!

Her words were: "well think about it, if you break your neck and become a vegetable, most likely ill have to look after you, so in the long term it would be cheaper to buy one of those neck thingys"

As I said before Timmy, love your mum's work :thumbsup:

And while I am no expert, give us a shout if my half drunken, post-engine blown piss-up induced email tonight made no sense at all and you need to chat about buying one!

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
