Just wondering who on this forum is running in this years event.

After 3 years or so working as an official on the sideline there is a fair chance im in this year navigating, just waiting on entry.

few questions i wouldn't mind asking:

Do navigators need gloves?

This year I need a NR licence, but my driver wants me to complete necessary training so that in the unlikely event he is unable to drive, I take his place. What additional things do I need to do? I have heard I might have to complete 2 club days/kahnacross, but the thing that concerns me is WHAT IF THERE ISN'T TWO BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL (or im unable to).

Anyway looking forward to being there, meeting some of you guys and having a ball.

ps if anyone needs a workshop over the week (in launceston), im sure my driver wouldn't mind opening his up.

Cheers

Tim

Navs don't need gloves, you'd never be able to turn the pages reliably.

I hope to get back this year, and am on the hunt for a spot in the silly seat (would love to get a gold plate). My driver has decided to start a family and amongst other commitments he is understandably not competing again.

With regard to your license, you can also do a couple of hours at a performance driving venue, like we did, at Holden Performance Driving at Yatala, Qld, I think? That gets around finding suitable events. (Bear in mind the driving test method must be approved by SCAMS, oops, CAMS.

Should mention will be in Pink S15 200SX!!!!

Ahhh very cool, will be great to see a silvia out there!

Just took a look at the Rookie rallye, this is the first I've heard of it. Seems to be a good thing, especially compared to say Dutton rally.

Yeah that;s the one the rookie rallye, he is hoping to win his devition so that next year he can enter the real targa.

Yeh thats what we would effectively like to do, but rather that crash from going to quick, just enjoy it and have fun, there is always sponsors out there keen to support

they need to fix their page title. it's says David Dahl... >_<

Haha everyones says that!

I've been given a car from Lotus to drive in the Targa Classic Rally, we leave the start line an hour before the competition class.

I think it will be good practise for next year when i can get out there and do the real thing in the rookie class and then step up to the competitive class.

Hopefully meet some of you down there. >_<

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
