I marshalled at the Special Stage last year, got to sit in the middle of the track for the whole day having rally cars screaming around me, it was so awesome i almost had to change my pants. i got to hold up the exit signs when they'd done their laps, and i had a cool yellow flag in case someone stacked it. i don't think i'll be doing it this year though, but i'd like to go see some of the regular rally stages.

the special stage would be a better watch. you can see the cars for more than 15 seconds at a time and most of the drivers pussie foot over the mine shaft anyway. its only 3 or 4 cars in the field that attack it at full noise.

cruise would be good. see you at the museum..............

bah. i volunteered for the rally and received all the papers, but had to cancel as i'm making a trip up to sydney this weekend, they had me doing road closures on sections at mineshaft and kowen south, bit peeved.

should be great anyway, rally cars driving through canberra, you get to see some awesome machines this time of year.

Hey guys,

my suggestions if ur looking at the rally for the 2 days are(these are my suggestions, if u head out please read all info packs and make your own decisions)

sat, (if ur happy to drive a little bit)

Greenhills I - first car start at 8.08

Kowen for the middle 2 stages, the speccy point here is for kowen north and south. so if there are cars in both stage(usually happens) then you could see 2 maybe 3 cars at once.

then head over and do Fairnbairn Super special.

on sunday

Start with Bluetts II

then head in to see some of either Keefs(This is Kowen south and North combined) or fairbairn park

then high tail it back out to see mineshaft.

also although cars will be sitting on the speed limit the service park area at sutton driver training complex is a great place to see all the teams working on there cars.... last year some spectators were even lucky enough to take home broken car bits from teams that gave them permission....

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
