It was Skyline heaven here on the weekend. There was 12 GTR's entered in rally tas, a couple of 32's some 33's & 3 34's.

Had a 34 in my garage on sunday afternoon, the crew needed to service it before a rally event in Vic this week. Wicked machine! huge brakes!

The guys that where crewing are from Tilbrook Auto & Dyno in S.A. Top blokes & really new there Skyline shit!

Will be catching up again when Targa rolls around. Unfortunately the best placed GTR in the rally was Tilbrooks 34 in 8th place.

What happend to th whites gtr that was placed second on Saturday ?

Hopefully not the same problem as happend last year in Targa.

Who was the driver of the tilbrook r34? last year steven Glenney was the only one sponsored by them.

Should meet up when Targa comes around. The best place i've found is on the sunday when they all go into scrutineering. Saw some mad beasts there last year.

Not long to go till targa now.

Cheers Lavers

Whites R34 shat another engine. Peter Moore was driving the Tilbrook sponcered R34. Steve Glenny is now rallying WRX's (shame!), his white R33 was here though, brought by a fella from NSW. I will be heading for the prologe at Georgetown this year for Targa. Some guys I know have been & they rekon it's a great day.

I cant wait for targa!. My mates and i take the week off and follow them around. Saw 7 stages last year (had a few beers inbetween!). The sideling was great because it was wet and you could see how the GTR`s handling differed from each model. R32`s seem to hang the arse out for ages before the ATTESA kicks in.

What are the whites doing wrong with the gtr? last rally tas they crashed this one they blew an engine and in targa they blew a head gasket.

What do you have to do to be a marshall for targa tim? Whats it like? do you see any of the action meet any of the people etc.

Yeah wogboy Georgetown is a good day but if you have the time the sideling is the ducks nuts of targa.

Checked yesterday and their are sixteen Skylines already entered in Targa 14 R's

Looks like its gunna be another good year.

Cheers Lavers

just about anyone can be some sort of marshall, the majority are just to set up the stage and or just keep an eye on things to put it plainly (keep crowds back a safe distance etc).

you get to see some good action in this position, but you don't really do anything.

My dad is a chief marshall and he requires a CAMS licence for that.

I am just a runner good thing to do cos you get to meet all the drivers.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
