Founded in August 2011 by Grant Salter and Gwyn Morgan, Grip Shift Slide was hatched during lasts years visit to World Time Attack Challenge in Sydney, sitting in their hotel room, looking at a bunch of expensive camera gear, flight tickets and rental cars… They asked themselves ”why are we doing this?” the answer, give the Victorian scene what it needs; support and exposure.

Grip Shift Slide have confirmed 20 cars for Forum Battle, each unique in their own special way.

Look back a page or click: EVENT TIMING - PAGE 6

Fri night is check in

Sat is race day.

Sun is Show'n'Shine

More detail in the Supp Regs RE: Check-in: Supp Regs

No-flex near Calder Park (nearest suburb is Taylors Lakes) far as I know. You'll need to BYO.

Details are in your inbox

none yet

Please look - everyone else received the email. I've confirmed with 4 people thus far. Maybe in your junk box???

No point resending if it just goes into Junk again :D

hey ash any chance we can all get together and make a plan of attack for this event.

Plan is - rock up on Sat or Sun as required. Nothing more needs to be done, it'll just over complicate.

That said - the timing will change.

There is no way 6:15pm finish for one lap dash and then 6.30pm drags will start.

The track will need to be prepped etc. So no doubt further revisions to come - so unfortunately timing will vary "on the day" i reckon. No way it's going to be squeezed in as tight as they are aiming.

I've sent you all emails since Fri... Only 5 have got back tp Mr.

You must reply/action the email by COB tomorrow or you will miss out.

Entry closes tomorrow night. If you don't, you'll be replaced.

Can't believe I will miss this.

Visiting OZ from 6th to 16th March. Brisbaine, Gold Coast, Barrier Reef and back down to Sydney - already missing my Skyline - off road at the moment gettin it ready for UK summer.

Link to my album

Any suggestions - good places for a pistonhead to visit between these dates.

Alabor of an unplanned build, Issac started with a turbo and clutch upgrade andlike most ended up with a full re-build. 100% built and not bought. Issac has spent his fair share of late nightsunder the car… brakes, suspension and power, Issac has got it all covered, "Ibuilt this car with the intention of driving it hard, not hardparkd despite itlooking pretty" . Keep an eye out for "Snowball" at Winton at the Vicdriftevents. At Forum Battle, Issac and "Snowball" will be under the Gripshiftslidetent along with the other S15(s)

Honda has demanded victory in this year's Bosch Australian Rally Championship.

Honda Australia unveiled its two new Jazz rally cars at Bosch's headquarters in Melbourne yesterday, and lead driver Eli Evans admits the pressure will be on to perform.

"I've been told this year, we must win," Evans told Speedcafe.com.

"Honda said "What do we need to win?" and we said "a G2 car with the new regulations."

"They gave us the new Honda Jazz, and so far so good. It feels fantastic. It feels like an improvement on the Honda Civic Type R."

The cars will be driven by Evans and Mark Pedder and will make their debut at the inaugural Rally Calder next weekend.

Forum battle also gets a special mention (@3:00) , its going to be an awesome weekend!

The car is a 2005 Subaru Impreza RS. Micheal has owned it since the end of 2009 and bought it dead stock from Subaru docklands. Like most car nuts the modifying began almost instant, it went from pretty mildly tuned NA into a high revving, boxer pounding NA Impreza RS, as far Micheal knows, he reckons its the only NA Subaru modified to this level in Australia.

Bought back in 2010 from Carizma motors in Sydney, Phuong's car made the trip back down to Victoria and has since stayed there as his first and only car.

Being an apprentice mechanic with an apprentice wage and only wanting quality parts, means mods on his car are limited and can be slow at the best of times. He says "I know the car isn't perfect and still needs a lot of work, but I'm happy with the progress". Edited by motorculture

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
