Looks like you enjoyed the last session better, whats with the engine cutout switch? And lol at the guard coming off :)

They called it the inertia switch. Essentially it was a little shock switch which meant if you hit a wall it kills the fuel pump so that you dont catch alight, it was pretty sensitive so also meant that if you used a bt too much kerb then it also stopped the fuel pump. They had fines for hitting the rev limiter, going into the sand traps etc etc. I suppose hitting kerbs isnt great for the cr, Snowie and guard case in point :ermm: So i think its there so help remind people to have fun and dont go pushing too hard.

Thanks Ash, mainly cosmetic damage mate.

A headlight, indicators, front bar, roughed up the 'cooler, needed full respray, some gaurd bendage, lucky we had a good strong bash plate I think, it took a hell of a hit, a and likely saved some major damage.

Here's the first corner agter we rejoined the road :D

Thanks for putting up the pic.

Like you say it could have been worse!

What about the farmers fence, who pays for that?

Ash

The competitor pays for the fence (Targa has contractors poised to react to avoid farmers getting too pissed), but this time I hear the farmer was watching us carve his fences and paddock with the other spectators, and was having a good laugh, and fixed it himself. So I hear.....

not that simple pete, and probably not the right thread. gtst and gtr are in different categories in aasa regs. gtst has more freedoms. as of about 2 weeks ago I could not find the current AASA tarmac rally regs anywhere on the web (i was checking for buller sprint).

for gtr it is basically ecu and suspension free. zorst 3". boost free. standard motor (no deep sump, no cams, std turbo but may be n1 spec).

Here is some great IPRAWA footage from multiple cars

2 big crashes in this one

ASH

great footage/production there, since so many cars have cameras these day I'm surprised more people haven't done this sort of video. good work

A couple from Lakeside using a fancy new camera; Captain Smooth here lolol

I notice the mighty rb20 doesn't make enough power to register lateral g under acceleration. I bet the camera is worth more than the car too.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
