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.

    • 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
