Targa Tasmania Cruise January 2003

Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

I am getting married in September. So, for my last act of rebellion against the dreaded ball and chain (wha..? no baby, i was kidding. No really! No, don.....*slap* ow) I am having a week long road trip directly before my wedding.

This will have a full itinerary designed by myself and a premier Targa Tasmania navigator. Actually, he is the guy who writes the rally notes for Targa Tasmania and virtually every other road event in Tassie. So, it should be great.

I am hoping to have the itinerary done soon, so people can grab a copy of it. This will allow people to join either for a couple of hours or the whole week, as our position will be itemised in the itinerary.

If I could get a little feedback as to how many people I could look at getting down here. It will be running from 20-27 September. I dont need definites, just expressions of interest....

Feel free to post back with any feedback.... my email is [email protected] as well.

Thanks

Slaz....

Cruise is postponed.

We have postponed the wedding until January, so the cruise shall be moved accordingly. If this interests anybody, even slightly, just get in contact with me. I assure fun for all, and a great bunch of awesome roads. So far, Squizz is the only one who has shown interest on this site. C'mon guys, I don't smell that badly do I? And I don't bite. Much. Just nibble, heheh.....

If anyone has any ideas regarding logistics or events during the cruise, PM me, reply to this thread or email me at [email protected]. Even if two people turn up, this cruise will be going ahead.....

Thanx guys......

hi my dad has done it 7 times and he loves it.

it is a great event to do and also a great corse if your not entering the event.

the only problem with the event is the cost of hom much it is to enter.

it costs 4 grand for each person to enter that is not including the car.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
