I am so rude. I'm going to try and blame it on my flu :down:

Jeff and Nerida Beable, long time SAU member and Targa veterans...... 2nd in early Modern. Great effort to you both! Congratulations!

Now Jeff, if you read this, I'd like you to give me your thoughts on the new Yokohama Ao50 you ran please! :laugh:

Sorry I second the congrats to the Beables- I didn't realise Jeff was on the forums >_<

An awesome looking car and a brilliant result.

btw this is what happens when Kel goes to Targa and leaves her car keys at home - just in time for the boys to get up to no good at Wakie

grrrrrrrrr

Oh shit,,,am in trouble now. I promise Kel I didn't thrash her,,,she sat there all day feeling all lonely so I thought I'd give her some lovin.

Neil.

:D sprung!

you muight have been nice to her, but I thrashed the ring off it. it understeers, then oversteers, then understeers again, all the while single spinning. I ended up with a 1.17 on road tyres with a passenger which I thought was OK.

still it was the second best zed I drove on the day, and unlike the other one it drove home with the roof down and heater and radiator on.

Wow, that red R33 GTR is stunning (car no. 819) is that a geniune Nismo 400R?

na its been made to 400R spec with a 2.8L and the 400r kit. it was a rush job to fit it up in time and i think it will be coming back off for some more attention.

Just waiting for YouPorn, oops, YouTube to ok some vids.

Have uploaded The Sideling and Rossarden at your request Snowballs, and have a good shot of Savman's launch control on Paloona.... make sure you watch Paloona all the way, we were 8th fastest outright :happy:

Just search #732 targa tasmania 2009 or somethin

Part 1 and 2 of Rinadeena (Strahan reverse) at the end of day 4.

Slipperier than a frog covered in vaseline.... and check out the vibration from a 150gram flat spot on the front right...... was near impossible to steer under brakes toward the end.

Mad props to Tim for not demanding I stop to let him out.

Peter Moore's 34 GTR (genuine N1) can be seen torn to bits in this...... at 3:30 in the second one.

Great driving Benny- and yes Timmy is mad :D

I dreamt about Rossarden last night (yes, I am really that sad).

So who is doing what next?

I'm thinking about having a crack at NSW Dutton (whatever it's called these days) but itching already to get back in the left hand seat!

Yeah I'm doing Vic Dutton (ATC) in a couple of weeks which will help ease these blues. Was going to do it in the new R35 but the little dragon is doing well currently so will have a crack in that once again (plus I'm still too scared to scratch the new toy).

Would LOVE to do the NSW round as well - looks awesome but I just don't know if the budget will stretch since I'm also def doing W.A. Dutton (jn an EVO again) and Mt Buller in Dec.

I need to find some time to watch those vids Benny - I'm stuck in training all day working hours currently for a few weeks. Infact I'm still at work now so I don't know why I'm wasting time as it is as I really want to go home! :P

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
