Yeah, we ended up going in to Nannup to the service area, found your camp and heard the news.

We saw your cars at the stages, they seemed to be doing OK.

See'ya:burnout:

Rob had a boost solenoid line come off and cost him 3 mins ( teething problem ).

Gearbox also kept jumping out of gear which is an unknown one but assume they fixed it at the night 2 hr service.

Brad jammed in 5th again for a minute or so.

Damned Subaru boxes.

Cheers

Ouch, that sucks, was it driver error?

Just going at 40km/hr on the gravel I can see how easy it would be to loose it.

See'ya:burnout:

Not too many other reasons for crashing a car.

Yea , first rally , never been on notes and not driven a Rex on dirt.

Too much car , too little talent atm.

Cheers

Is the chassis damaged or just the panels?

See'ya:burnout:

Am having a week off cos got to stay close to the Hospital for the inevitable bad news .

:D

Hopefully the boys did a good job servicing.

Would MUCH rather have been there than here atm.

Btw , Busselton to Joondalup Hospital in 2 hrs flat was a reasonable pace. If the cops caught me , I wasn't stopping but didn't see one. Hehe

Ken,

Maybe suggest they buy a GTR to rally in:D

See'ya:burnout:

Not eligible for state or Int'l rally.

Btw , did you see that awesome silver HK Monaro at the rally.

Side pipe , big noise , big hp , tyre shredding action.

Loved it.

Saw the old corolla of Nicholas Box roll right in front Friday night at the super special.

Cheers

Dad , rushed to Hospital.

Terminal , will not be coming out.Still alive atm but doc said only days left.

Sad but he is 80 so I suppose he had to go eventually.

Still miss him though.

I guess he's got to start somewhere, expensive lesson though.

See'ya:burnout:

Yea , unfortunately people don't want to learn there craft in low HP 2 wd cars.

Trick is to learn to drive the wheels off a small buzzbox and then step up when you are at the absolute limit.

Too many guys just go for the big hp monsters but never really come to grips with it cos they are too scared.

See'ya:burnout:

Cheers

Ken,

Yeah, I love the Monaro and the Mustang. The Monaro had a bit of a hit on the 2nd stage, but it kept going, loved the noise of the engine.

See'ya:burnout:

A bit of a hit. He was prolly lucky.

I saw that hit the loose stuff at the back of the First Super special and every time he touched the throttle , it just erupted in wheelspin.

It's not often you can say that there is too much horsepower.

Actually it's probably the cart spring type back end causing 1/2 the trouble.

Cheers

Ken

Nah, we were down south, it was nice to be invited but I'd have felt a bit strange rocking up to a wedding in my SAU cap:D

I'm sure we'll here all about it in a couple days. Hope she is feeling OK after her accident.

See'ya:burnout:

Yea , she will probably be more sore from the honeymoon than the crash . Hehehe

Cheers

Ken

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
