Hi all.

For those of you who have competed in Targa Tasmania, what was involved in preparing your car?

I'm investigating competing in Targa Tassie 08 in the rookie rallye section and just need to work out the costs of preparing my current road going car.

I guess i need a half roll cage, driver+navigator harnesses, toe hooks front and rear.........

Any info would be great.

Ok well if you go to the targa page, there is a requirament list.

We competed in Targa Rookie Classic Class C.

We needed:

Fire extuinguisher

Battery cut out

Fuel Cut out if fitted with electronic pumps

Role cage, Cams approved with papers, seamless tube, all bent and wealded as per the rules

Fire suits, gloves and face mask, ADR approved helmett.

You need a first aid kit

Triangle for breakdowns

Tow points in red, indicated with a sticker

These are the main have toos

Then thre is a whole heap more, like battery triangle stickers, they give you those, tiedowns for any loos items, Terra trip is not required at all. MAKE SURE You have good pace notes, we didn't and crashed. LOL.

Your car needs to be registered and road legel, well roar registered under special interest at least, so all lights must be functioning ect.

You need a minimum of a 5 point harness (and remeber to have it realy tight, or your balls get mashed), there's rumers going around that bolt in cages mightn't be accepted soon, but that is only a rumer. But if you do it, put a weld-in in, it's worth it if you do crash.

how many mods does your car have? because the cars are mostly standard parts.

The targa site has all the regs up, and a link to the cams technical regs.

What you need more than anything...is a car you can thrash for 3 days without it breaking down in any way....so have a think about what sort of condition everything is in and what you might need to replace. Like Ben said it has to be pretty much standard too so you might have to remove bits you already have.

Cage is probably the hardest thing - you can get a bolt in one so you can remove it, but it needs to be a full cams compliant one - think $1500min.

Was your wedding photo in the paper the other day Stu?? It was a Stuart Benson and looked a bit like you....but it might've been a funny angle and I wasn't sure.......

Yes mate that was me, obviously Kylie is a very lucky girl!

The photographer wanted to use that shot for promo and I wondered where it was going to show up.

sav_man - Yeah I think we've still got some, will check.

Duncan& Kel - They will both be worth the wait!

The DVD would have been released sooner as dat16 and the SCTV team finished them some time ago, but they all arrived back from production with the wrong covers and these had to be printed.

In regards to the party DVD's I have located the source here at work and can supply copys at the nominal fee of Twenty dollars.....

We can also do packages that include all shots of you'r vehicle compiled, along with a personalised party tape version that has shots of you'r vehicle inserted into it....

Obviously there is more cost involved in the vehicle compile's and party tape inserts. Those that may be interested will need to contact me for details... I personaly have done many compiles and they can take anywhere from 1/2 an hour to 2 hours depending on how many shots you have to locate.....I think there is somewhere in the vicinity of 70 to 80 tapes from this year!!!!!! :action-smiley-069::(

I am at you'r service.......

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
