Thanks Scott, Kel, :) I Timmy has balls of steel I reckon, a real pro ;)

I think a roof view or bumper view could better relay the actual pace of it.... probably the lower the better?

I need to sort out a camera now, as this POV was Dan's!

Oh the withdrawals!!!!

I was planning on buying a POV for the Rally season start next week, but meh too much other crap has come up recently...

Maybe if we get one each, multi angle :D

And apparently the POV is good for the bedroom too?

Now why on earth would anyone want to see multi angles of you and Wooster in the bedroom Timmay? :P

I think you are right Ben the lower the faster it seems. You check out this vid and it seems like the car is going 200mph (about 1:00 in)

Don't forget Targa is on the telly this weekend!

From Helen @ Octagon's email this morning...

Australia's top tarmac rally will be on show in lounge rooms around the country this weekend, with the Seven Network broadcasting a one-hour special on Targa Tasmania on Sunday at 12 noon. Locally in Tasmania, it will show on Southern Cross TV.

I'm guessing your driving skillz -particularly when it comes to field plowing - will feature prominently Benny :)

lol I guess they might, I can only hope they set the record straight and state that the only reason we ever left the road was due to bad and/or late navigator calls :)

Well if you want to be on TV it seems you need to be either in Showroom, Outright Classic or Modern.

I don't know why they bother with the other catagories really :P

Anyhoo - it got me thinking way ahead for a couple of years time of looking at Classic cars (since the budget for Modern is plain silly). I was under the impression that the upper date for classics moved but it seems it is now stuck at 1990. Is that the case (Stu?) and how long is 1990 likely to remain the upper limit for Classics? I was looking at some 1992 cars for the 2011 race but I take it they won't be available for Classics?

Na I'm thinking either an NSX or RX7 but which ones will depend on the data.

I really wanted to do an NSX Type R but thats a 1992 car. Having said that there was nothing majorly special about the Type R other than suspension and weight - which I can do both under the rules regardless.

You shouldn't necessarily change your car and category just so you can get on the dvd. Not everyone gets on the dvd as ben said and it even states in their policy you aren't gauranteed coverage http://www.targa.com.au/Competitors/Publicity.html

If all else fails you could drive through a fence? I wouldn't recommend it though!

Geeze talk about original... maybe we should go with something different benny? Delorean? atleast then we could go back in time and change history in the unlikely event we got beaten by these sheep!

Next thing you know Classic will be called the 32 GTSt Invitationals!

      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

      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)?

      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

      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.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
