Media Statement

Rally Australia Protest Rally

Released Wednesday the 30th March 2005

Russell Franklin Motorsport Owner Russell Franklin today confirmed that

there would be another Save Rally Australia Protest March this time

being on State Parliament. The government are elected by the people of

this state and as such should work for the benefit of this State not

other States. If this Government thinks for one moment that the

Thousands of people who have volunteered there time and $$$ to make this

event the success it is today are going to stand back and let the Rally

simply be given away on a gold platted platter they are so wrong. Mr

Franklin said

I would challenge the Minister for Tourism to a Public Debate on the

benefits to the Community that Rally Australia provides. There are the

Hundreds of jobs that are created as a result of the event, the huge

impact on Businesses in the small Country Towns that the event visits,

the estimated 66 million potential Tourists that watch the event on TV

and not to mention the Large numbers of people that visit from both

Interstate and Overseas.

The Government has to change its mind and admit that this decision is a

big mistake. If it doesn't there is every possibility that this Land

mark event will be lost forever and could end up leaving Australia's

Shores. My number one priority is ensuring that the event stays in Perth

and if that can't be achieved then to ensure it stays in Australia.

We may have had a small turnout at our Rally last week but at a time

when people have to work it is going to be difficult. This is why we

will march at night. I anticipate that we will get 500 to 1000 people

attending this rally.

The Rally will take place on Tuesday the 5th of April 2005 at 6.00pm. We

will march from Forest Place along William Street into Hay Street then

up to the Steps of Parliament House where it is hoped that the Minister

for Tourism or Premier will address us. All Police and City of Perth

Approvals have been obtained. We ask that people bring a banner and a

loud voice. We will depart Forest Place at 6.15pm.

ONLY DIRECT ACTION WILL SAVE TELSTRA RALLY AUSTRALIA

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
