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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
