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....

      My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By Chi-Town · Posted

      This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.

      It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!

      This is why you flex fuel it...

      That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.
