Runs Friday to Sunday this weekend. R35 GTR leading the field, plenty of modern WRXs and Evos, and some classic stuff.

Worth a look if you're into rallying. Saturday starts at Penny's Hill Winery, where you can take a look at the cars.

Check out www.asprally.com for more info. I'll be heading up Saturday, which is the only day the SA Rally Championship guys are running.

THE driver and co-driver of a Porsche 911 were last night undergoing life-saving surgery after a crash at the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally.

The Porsche was negotiating a section of the rally route on Crows Nest Rd, Port Elliot, about 4.30pm Saturday when the driver lost control, slamming into two trees.

The impact tore the Porsche apart, wrapping it around the tree and spreading debris over the road.

Emergency crews were able to quickly free the driver but worked for over an hour to free the passenger.

Both were flown to Flinders Medical Centre. According to the rally's website, the 1978 Porsche was registered as being driven by Milan Filo and Jason Rowley.

A police spokesman said the occupants a 54-year-old Hallett Cove man and a 46-year-old Enfield man were seriously injured.

"A left-hand-drive 911 Porsche travelling north on Crows Nest Rd has come over a crest in the road and lost control," he said.

"The car has gone sideways and hit two trees on the right-hand side the passenger side."

It is understood the driver had serious internal injuries and the passenger sustained injuries to his legs.

Major Crash investigators rushed to the crash site and were last night continuing their investigations. The section of road was last night closed to the public.

The Sunday Mail understands another Porsche and a Ford Focus competing in the event crashed in separate incidents earlier in the day.

In 2009, Gary Tierney and David Carra, from Melbourne, died when their Porsche 911 hit a tree at Forreston, in the Adelaide Hills, during the Classic Adelaide Rally.

In the SA round of the 2010 Australian Rally Championship, three of the competition's top drivers Scott Pedder, Justin Dowel and Matt Selley all crashed out.

Rally organisers last night refused to comment.

Big thumbs up to the organisers for putting the whole weekend together. Listening to how much work goes on over the course car radio in the background really makes you appreciate the unseen organisation and complexity that it takes to run these events. Apart from that it was hard, hard work....really it was... :thumbsup:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
