So what car(s) are we looking for Duncan when Roy comes over to watch the video I taped.

I remember now the Beemer killer was a brunette.

Hint: It's listed under her name :Oops:

"The faster you are going the less time there is to concentrate on actually learning to drive."

I agree totally with this. I learned more about the track in two slow laps in the rain than the whole 200k I did in the dry at full pace.

Snowman / Roy - If we were to get anything going with the Dutton we would need to make moves (decisions) in that direction very quickly. Money to spend on the car is my problem and a small sponsor would help. I can come up with entrace fee, but would like to spend more on car to become competitive with the R34 and others. But at the end of the day I would be there for sure.

Christ, did someone actually get one of those understeering, too short, breathless barges to go well enough to enter an event?

I hear europe got a suspension package that fixed the handling, but I hated the local hatch I drove. BTW I realise they call them a coupe, but it's a 3 door hatch OK.

Anyway well done Kel. We'll be taking a long hard look.

I also understand Kero (Fats brother) has a cd copy now after some thread searching. Mine is also welcome to be borrowed but is taped at 1/4 speed so you may need my video which is a permanent wife accessory for lifestyle programs.

BTW - Roy - what happened with you and Chris and the Dutton? Or is that to be discussed based upon results of your R32?

Its a possibility, but its a little too late to get sponsors, i could get my hands on enough money to do the event, but would have to pull out of a commitment i have already mate to a crew with a team for the BP Rally the same wekend.

I think it may be best to wait fot he PIARC day later that month, may even have some new brakes to be sure not to fall off the island. :Oops:

Oops sorry Kel posting the *slight* off pic. Didn't mean to put that one up.

That's okay, you'll also see me killing a witches hat in the Speedweek coverage :Oops:

For the record though, that pic is of my co-driver Dan.

Not sure how useful we'll be but happy to let anyone entered in the Vic Dutton pick our brains (well, maybe I need to revise that reference since Fatz was on the team!).

My main tip- if you're not going to win, do something spectacular!

That was a well wicked weekend guys!!!

Oh, and I was driving a TX5 not an MX5 Snowman!

I have got 1 or 2 pics too. When I get around to it, I'll upload them. Including one of Roy in his secret machine....

Go Team Wang!!!

Chrisman...LOL...welcome to SAU :)

Id like a few photos for my own archive, but for hopefully obvious reasons i hope you appreciate why id rather not have pictures of the car on a public forum... :(

Kel, what punishment was there for Majanal emulating Fatz in the 350Z? I think you should have taken his beer rations away from him :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
