results still not straightened out, but it looks like all the SAU crowd made it through day 1 intact, well done everyone.

In particular Ben is 1st in Classic by a mile.

Snowy is 1st in rookie (I think, some results still missing)

Targa Tom is 1st in Evo class (sorry I mean showroom), by almost a minute. Great job.

It looks like Quinn (GTR woot) 1st, Richards, White, Jones (GTR again)....Alford 10th, Leemhuis 18th, Russ 20th.

In Early Modern: Shaw, Walsh, Beeble (GTR).....Thatcher/Handley 11, sav man down in 38, I guess they've had some trouble?

yep the 33 crew is out of the running but not out of the event. old Manion had a spin and got stuck in the mud on stage 3 this morning and missed the next stage so 2 dropped stages. apparently if they had a front diff they would have got the 4wd out. ben said they tried to use the HKS atezza controller to pull them out but with no luck.

Ben also had a few spins. apparently using a gravel escape road then using all his dorift skills he has lean from me did a hand-breaky 180 much to the amusement of everyone watching.

Good on the Nissans.

Still a great effort from the SAU guys today, we haven't lost anyone so far (except Ben/Sav really)

Modern: Quinn (GTR), Weeks, Richards, White, Jones (GTR), Alford 13th, Russ 15th, Leemhuis 17th. Great job in particular from Russ who has come miles through the field from 20th today.

Early Modern: Shaw, Walsh, Beeble (GTR), Ayres (GTR), Moore(GTR), Bergmann (GTR) Thatcher/Handley 12th, sav man still hanging in there in last after penalty time for yesterday.

Targa Tom is leading Evo class by over a minute.

Marlin is still hanging in the lead of Classic, but they are getting caught slowly. I assumed they would go quicker after the exhaust got ripped off in stage 16 :cool:

Snowy is leading Rookie Rally by over a minute too, well done. 2nd is another GTR Jorgensen.

Damo...Ben obviously lives by Neil's slogan too....."if you can't go fast, look good"

well rookie is over and Snowy wone that. good on you snow man and the Z-Tune looks the goods to. because he wone he gets free entry into the full event next year. i hope to see it back.

After analyzing the data off bens (sav) Track mate we found that he pulls 1.7 Geez (G-Force) in braking, but that also lead to the demise of a rear brake rotor by the start of longford (last stage for today). So i have just got home from a drive to Devenport to pick up a replacement pair of rotors and fitting them.

Also Apexi Power FC pros with launch control are the shit. just ask ben.

its good to see all the GTR's up there and so close together.

i would also like to point out that there was even a r31 2 door entered this year giving the skyline an appearance in R31 to 35.

I woke up to RAIN today! its going to be a fun day.

plus its RAINED heavy all night so things are going to get loose.

So those guys I saw at BP on Wellington Street yesterday in their Datsun 510 SSS are going to have fun considering they brought wet tyres for wet or dry?

Awesome :P

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
