Received the following email from Mountain Motorsports today...

Due to the current global financial situation, Mountain Motorsports have decided to call it quits after this year’s Mt Buller Sprint. It has been a tough time for a lot of us and the cancellation of 2 events this year hasn’t made it any easier.

Don’t miss the opportunity to be involved with the final running of the infamous Mt Buller Sprint which will be run on the first weekend in December (4th-6th). We have attached your Expression of Interest Form and as entry numbers have been limited, we ask you to return it ASAP to ensure you won’t miss out on any of the action.

It will be the final Tarmac Event of the year and we guarantee the ‘afterparty’ will be one to be remembered for years to come.

On a serious note, we extend our most sincere sympathies to all the families and communities involved with the recent bushfires, and ask that you read the attached letter from Chaplaincy Australia, who have been great supporters of our events. A big ‘Thank-You’ goes to Mark Bateman and his team for the incredible difference they are making to the families directly affected. Please support him generously.

We look forward to seeing you on the mountain in December!

BUGGER! Looks like this year's will be my first and last Buller.

Sad to hear MM is doing it tough, and very sad to see the event disappear from the calendar.

Yeah it's a big bummer that basically 2 of the 4 AASA rallies will be gone now - especially since I built my car to AASA spec!

But even though I've never done Mt Buller or Lake Mountain I can kind of understand why numbers have dropped for these events. There must be a heck of a lot of waiting around compared to a normal tarmac rally between driving stages since every time you have to wait for the whole field to go up and back down again between runs.

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
