OK, get the VCR's ready

Not only is Targa Tas on Channel 10 at 1pm on Sunday, but the mighty Dutton Rally is on SBS at 4.30pm

Keep an eye out for the SAUers, and particuarly Pete's bad behaviour on the skidpans...

I was lucky enough to see the final draft for the Fast Fours Magazine article today...

You two guys get a good rap from boxer and an awesome photo of the Skyline in action...

6 Pages in all covering the event - hits the newstands on or about the 16th July I think..

This is one Fast Fours EVERYONE should buy !!!!

sweet! looks like I'm buying my first copy of Fast Fours :rofl: Those guys from FF in the Lancer GSR did really well, 7th overall. Not sure why their entry is recorded as an EVO I tho :confused:

Did plenty of your pics get a run as well?

Chris's Lancer IS an EVO I :) - It has the GSR badges on it as it's a GSR, not the RS (ie, it's got climate control air and the bigger brakes etc whereas the RS spec comes with no Air, stock brakes, steel rims etc as these things are always replaced when racing/rallying..)

his nick on performance forums is "itsnotagsr" - because everyone asks him "Is that a GSR or an Evo ?"

6 out of 6 wet skid pan events certainly helped them climb the ladder..

No, I didn't end up sending them any of my pics because they paid their own camera dude to come down and take the pics for them and it would have been stupid to pay all that money to him and then not use them..

BUT I have had a lot of requests for images so far in quite a few publications..

So far

Hot Fours Magazne

Manly Daily,

Daily Telegraph,

Saturday Telegraph CARS Liftout section,

Mosman Daily,

Western Weekender,

Wentworth Courier

and a couple of manufactuers media releases

But by far the write up has been Boxer's effort in Fast Fours

I can't wait for the Victorian event now.......

Ha ha - I just watched the SBS story.

Fatz got awared tool of the meet award for some major sideways action and very petite reverse entry into the Motokhana finish :(

Saw some SAU ugly mugs too.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
