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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
