Wouldnt have happened if they had Crewman/Navigator/Stuntman/Fearless Brisby as a navigator.

Poor Snowy, best he could do was me at short notice after being dicked in the most significant way by someone that should know better! :) Got the car through Day 1 but the problems just could not be solved in the night....so Cascade Tour was the call for our Sunday. :)(

if jones doesn't get pinned, everyone is just going to drive through the middle of corners come Targa.

I'll be back with more later - but I'll add for now that there was NO mention in any paperwork or verbally in any drivers briefings about the white lines and no corner cutting for TWP this year.

Sorry I didn't get back to you snowman, didn't see the msg till friday and you already had the ever capable Brisby lined up. Sounds like he is a natural!

Well done everyone, been looking through the results and Newton, mate, well done!

Brisby, sounds like you did a great job at short notice, for what it's worth I can remember my first nav gig, it was a stress for sure! It gets much easier :action-smiley-069:

OMG...what a fantastic weekend. Newton is CRAZY and I love it! Just wait 'till he fully gets a handle on the pace notes :action-smiley-069:

We were only .5sec/km slower than the Early Mod winners - just a pity we had done 200k competitive :laugh:

Well done to Bris for the short notice call-up...by all accounts you're a natural :wub:

Credit to Snowplough for not following my calls on L4 when they were R3.5 :action-smiley-069: I thought i was doing ok until i watched the vids and he did well not to be confused by my talking...as thats what i did, talk us through the corners (often repeating the same call for an upcoming corner over and over which now i can see could have been rather confusing) rather then call the corners in advance.

But, we got through... and its depressing as my car isnt near as cool as any of the cars there :laugh:

Big Kudos to Bris from me for jumping in the car. He's are hard judge on himself but I think he did an awesome job and at no stage did any of his little mishaps put me off or put us in danger. Which is probably more than I can say given I chose to keep blazing on even though we knew there was a problem with something at the front of the car. Given what we know now we are both fairly lucky (again!) But I'd happily have the old boy jump in the car again anyday.

Well done to Norton and Dan too on a great first up Tarmac effort. Hopefully one day we can all have a good run and have a good ding dong.

Oh - and BRING ON TARGA HIGH COUNTRY in Nov!!! :action-smiley-069:

If they use the road from Whitfield to Mansfield for some of the THC stages it will be one cracker of an event :-)

Looking forward to you having another good trouble free run Snowy...you were only just off our time on Longley with the control arm broken :laugh:

Bring on the competition...next time were coming with softer tyres :action-smiley-069:

how did the E85 go? I'm thinking of setting up a E85 refil staiton 5-10km from the end of mt arrowsmith this year, as there's no way known a gtr will make it through 53km on a std tank (r32 and it's big tank aside).

anyone know what happened to Ayres? There wasn't any menchain of it on Rally Live.

As far as I know all cars got fuel tested. I was wrapped with that too since it was such a fark around having to get the EXACT right fitting which just so happened to be only available from one person in the country.

The funny thing was they rang me up with a panic after my sample because I'd had to use a jug full of boiling water to get my fitting onto my hose and as a consequence my fuel sample was full of water (both ends of the hose had closed ends) so they panicked my car was going to blow up! LOL

you tell them it's ok, just my water metonal injection :D

Expand Hollowneck?

A few were running VERY low on 98RON leading up to the stages. Topping up with just enough jungle juice to get through the stage, then splash and dash of 98 to get to the next stage and so on.. Someone cottoned onto this however and a fuel tester was manned at the end of some stages.

    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
