May be you guy's could just hard'n up a frac, it was going before you guy's started rallying,

and it will be going on long after we all finish!!!, no point sooking over it!!!

Just my opinoin.. :cool:

Yeah i herd the same thing that he has lost his nerve abit, but maybe like Garwood after his smash in Targa a couple of years ago said he would never race a car again and he came back better than ever, it might just take time before he's keen again

What Happened to you and Matt? or were you never doing TWP just the big one? I couldn't remember cos now your not listed on either entry list

Haha, you gravel boys are all the same John :)

Yeah we where entered but only a couple of weeks out the GTR run in to some mechanical problems we couldn't sort them out in time and the car had a brand new motor in it and Matt didn't wont to push things. We have just entered Targa Rookie now so we are going to have the GTR better prepared now anyway as for TWP the GTR was going to still have the old Bilsteins in it from when Marlin owned it and few other thing we pushing it for time to be ready anyway.

Taking the GTR over on the boat tomorrow night back to RacePace to be sorted and also have new suspension set up put in and hopefully the car well be all set and ready for Targa and then it well be just up to us to have a crack and hope we have better luck as we found out what could go wrong went wrong at the worst of times but that seems to be norm around here some time lol

connector on the fuel pump relay loosened up on dave ayers' 33... btw: how tough does his car look with the bronze rims!

the supperleggera r is an australian model produced from all genuine lamborghini parts with 120 pages of lamborghini documentation... think rx8 sp.

penned in whitfield road for thc back in december!... love the bit where you drive at the sky with the cliff face and power lines, that section is just as awesome in coming back up the hill!

thanks lady!... the weekend was good fun, shame we lost those two stages, but thanks to a star picket impaled horse, crash needing two ambulances, two fires on a total fire ban day and a collapsed spectator we were simply running out of time.

you know it gorgeous!

re corner cutting, priority wasn't given to this at twp... some tt there will be no white lines either as a new system is being implemented that will discourage corner cutting or clipping.

yeah lots of fuel sampling was done and a number of vehicles failed pre-event... these vehicles were all found to be using the correct fuel during the event. although one e85 vehicle was penalised saturday night for using incorrect e85.

bloody gtr fuel pums, we found out on the way to the sidling last year, that the fuel pump control modual earths through the case it's in. The car died cause the nuts had rattled loose, and the case lost contat with the body. The car looks awsome with the bronze rims, but the wheels sit too far inboard needs more aggresive offset or spacers :P

RE E85: I heard you could (legally) get it from 2 sources, and one was a lot cheaper than the other. Is that the case?

The entire strech from Whitfield to the power lines is just brilliant. Looking forward to tackling it :P

The 'incorrect' E85 you speak of being used, was that E85 obtained from another supplier (ie not through the official TWP channels)

or an incorrect blend?

I know the person who got the fine, and they bought it over from Victoria, cost him

about $2.35, including getting it to the service area's, it's criminal to charge $4.00 a litre for E85!!..

and it was not Targa's E85 so they pinned him for running higher octane unleaded, even when he

said, "it's not unleaded, it's E85"..

I take it you mean he had the car filled up when it came over???

If not im intrigued how he managed to get it across if he came on the spirit :D

He filled the car up in Melbourne, then filled a 44 gal drum, and i shipped it over for him!!!

Was this person a Skyline driver? I know of an STi driver who was thinking of doing the same. :)

Either way, $4+ for E85 seems a little steep does it not? Does limiting supply through only 1 channel have ACCC implications?

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
