lol, evidently he did ;)

Steve and Bernie are using Nagg's R35. Steve has co-driven the car previously.

Rullo just has no luck with that thing..... I do rate how he always seems to keep on smiling though! It does have lots of grunt!

You can get them to over 450kw@wheels in Targa spec.

Keeping them there is a totally different story. I've backed mine right back now to try and keep the thing on the road!

Anyways - for those lucky enough to be there have a great week. It's about now I start to wish I was there again.

haha it chirps 6th!

I figured there must be something wrong in the box to break 2 shafts, but maybe it just does have a lot of go. very impressive for a standard car.

He runs the full MoTeC (M1??) ECU too I think that ignores all the warnings and safety measures the factory computer has that would normally save components of the car as illustrated in the power skid :)

Just had a quick look at some prologue results...for what they are worth.....have a bit of an interest in classic.... Broadbent getting his old RS porkchop around in the same time as Richards GT2RS. That thing of Broadbents must go ok.... 5th outright on the prologue....

Also something about Hendy stopping on Kayena. Was hanging my hat on him for EM victory.... Be gutted if he cops a snot time so early in the piece.

Ah that explains why I couldn't find Tim's result.

Fingers crossed he get's away with it - but it almost looks like Day 0 counts this year? Can anyone confirm if these 2 stages are more than just a shake-down / seeding procedure this year?

I presume not because there are some weird / slow results from guys you'd expect on the pace in all categories.

lol that would be funny to watch. to be honest I think they'd be better to focus on making the event affordable to get the volume of competitors up; the start time list has only 177 cars.

good luck today for everyone lucky enough to be there!

Is this the best updates page? http://www.targa.com.au/tc/page_full.asp?asset_id=8653

Not much happening...although it seems Rullo's tailshaft issue are getting worse not better

    • Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 馃槄  
    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
    • Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.
    • I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
