A quick update lifted from Aaron's partner on youfacetwit: Aaron is doing well! The first op went went and he now is the proud owner of pins holding his ankle together. The next op will be on the other foot and his crushed ankle! He is in good spirits and is as well as we could have hoped for at this stage. Thank you from the both of us for all the well wishes and phone calls that i have received today, your support and words mean a lot!

Hang on, isn't the M35 system based on the R34 system? If so, stopping the pump is not enough to disengage all front wheel drive. There is preload in the clutchplates in the transfer case which will force a small amount of pressure to the front wheels. Plenty of R33 and R34 owners have found this the hard way, so be certain M35 is not the same.

Ryan, Noddy in queensland has his 33 gtst log booked as 2F production sports. I am not sure if the local club ever put it on the CAMS list but they should have. I think it is a good option for 33 gtst. The other option would be 3J (IPRA). Apart from the restrictor your car would be OK wouldn't it? I am pretty sure IPRA will drop their restrictor rule sooner or later. Not really. Cage certification is just the cage builder confirming it meets requirements on the CAMS paperwork. It is a pre-requisite to getting a log book but meaningless on it's own. Cage certification will be very important for all the rally cars converting from AASA...

hang on....that pic you posted has different sized pistons. If you run it upside down you will have *more* tapered pad wear because the large piston is at the wrong end. my caliper has evenly sized pistons so it is fine to run upsidedown

seriously though....there are now 40 more to choose from? Are there any reserved or recommended useages like before? I guess my vertex cbs might be able to access them with programming

There was a serious accident on the F3 yesterday afternoon which involved one of our club members, Aaron (r34aaronw). Aaron was heading back home on the F3 near Somersby in bad weather when his car (and 2 others) were hit by a car on the wrong side of the road. Unfortunately the driver of the oncoming car died at the scene, Aaron and another driver were taken to hospital for treatment. The police have released the following statement: http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/news/latest_releases?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LmViaXoucG9saWNlLm5zdy5nb3YuYXUlMkZtZWRpYSUyRjE3MDQ3Lmh0bWwmYWxsPTE%3D Police from the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses following yesterday's fatal crash on the F3. The collision occurred about 1km south of the Peats Ridge Road on-ramp, Somersby, about 4.30pm yesterday (Monday 30 May). Early investigations suggest a silver Holden Commodore, being driven by a 52-year-old man, was travelling south when it crossed to the incorrect side of the road and collided with three other vehicles. The driver of the Commodore suffered fatal injures and died at the scene. The 38-year-old driver of a Nissan GTR suffered multiple fractures and he remains in hospital, while the 50-year-old driver of a Barina suffered a broken sternum and also remains in hospital. The third driver of a Ford was not injured. Police are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact them at the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit on 8882 1458, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. There has been no suggestion that Aaron was anything other than unlucky in being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it is a reminder of how dangerous road conditions can be - even for a competent driver in a good car. Everyone stay safe out there! Best wishes to Aaron and his family from everyone in SAU NSW in this difficult time.

which makes your injectors 120cc....unless fuel pressure or similar was incorrect.

definately OK to use an auto ECU in a manual stagea

Damn good idea, even on a wet sump. My sump designer knew this, but the engine builder didn't.....and I ended up with a broken bolt running on the oil pump gears.

Just be aware a used slick will probably have less grip than a good semi slick....there is a reason the team isn't using them any more. good budget choice though.

Either....go to reply, attachments, browse, then upload. or email it to me and i'll upload it.

yes that's right, it is neutral and reverse switches. reverse for reversing lights, and neutral is an input to the ECU for some reason. You should not have to remove the gearbox. put a jack under the rear of the gearkbox and undo the 4 cross member bolts. slowly let the jack down until the attessa line at the rear starts to get tight. that should give you enough clearance to get at everything. there is a short wire from each switch to a plug. the plugs go into the front body loom which includes starter motor and a few other things. should be easy enough to repair if the loom is damaged....depends where the wires broke.

emails dead

broken since the forums were down this morning? no notifications since last night....

yeah there was a tubro landcruiser at the first world sprint championship challenge attack at oran park. got roll?

that sucks Anyone still wanting to come along give Steveo a call ....with this spot I there are either 2 or 3 still available. Or if you feel brave just come along....

yeah its a bit of a pain but I just don't have the space to fix it while i am building the house. Pretty sure tk80 is out too....cage is half finished On the good side dnissi will be there to keep them honest....he was only a tenth behind me all day and I'm sure will be looking to go faster this time.

Well it can't be a TGIF thread on Thursday.....so I'm sorry to hear Dave. Keep us all updated about anything it needs, but I guess for once insurance will be enough to cover it, even a motor if necessary

I've never heard of those tyres, and I have used a lot of different tyres. They are not sold in Australia by Bridgestone according to their website. I guess if the car was just complied they are the usual cheapest, crappy tyres they could put on....if you have another $1k (maybe not after this I guess) you should consider putting some good tyres on the car, it will make heaps of difference, particularly in the wet. I'd recommend Federal 595SS or Falken FK452 which are both good cheap street tyres BTW those prices look reasonable for retail, although instead of the rear steering rack you could just buy a HICAS lock bar and the rack ends on the side that are damaged. That would be more like 200 than 400.

well at least you will get a wheel alignment as part of fixing this...if there was something wrong it will be ok now....just take it easy! and do some motorkhanas or driver training days.
