brb- off to Styx Valley Rally.

ok so I know it's not Tarmac, but it should be a bit of fun.

I'm joining Timmy in Tassie this weekend for the first round of the Tasmanian Rally Series.

Jumping into a little Mitubishi Cyborg with Aaron Reader - should be lotsa of fun.

Now can you Tasmanians organise some decent weather for me please?

Well from what I see it is looking like a few showers, but the amount of rain is looking low. Anything has to be better than what we had last year!

Stu,

knowing all of those roads quite well you've picked the cream of the roads in the area. I had no doubt the Whitfield Rd especially the section under the power lines would be used, but will it be in both directions?

Just a question on the Eildon-Jamieson Rd as well, did you have to put much pressure on the Shire to seal that rd? Once sealed it will be beome quite a popular rd for people wanting an alternative route to-from Buller. Also what surface are they planning? Spray seal?

Looking forward to this ;)

Yeah Dan, both ways! Mansfield Whitfield Road will be split into three stages each way.

Re Eildon Jamieson Road, the shires had plans to seal and this has simply been bought forward. It will be in final prep as roadbase ready for sealing at THC so we will simply transport over it, but will be in good condition as sealing is due to take place in the week(s) after the event... hopefully with a year to cure it will make it one of the best targa stages to be found. The surface will be better than simple spray and rock speard which has pretty short life, expect to see something much the seal at the Jamieson end which is next up from spray.

Cage sounds like a good idea Jeff... you just can't trust those Queenslanders!... but if you can lend me the key that would be great, I'll be over Thursday to do the roadbook! Just leave the key under a pot plant if you like! :banana:

I think you might be a bit more trustworthy than Ben

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
