Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread


Recommended Posts

yeah I 'built' one too... cheaply... didn't end well... actually it didn't start well either, had piston slap from day 1 and ended up spinning a bearing while at the top of 3rd at sandown... lasted a while though... maybe it wasn't a good idea to run the stock ecu with speed cut and instead of shifting to 5th at the end of the straight just leaving it in 4th and banging it off the limiter few times.......... oh and oil coolers are for pussies........ ahhh good times

lol

mine was "built" by a rather well known Melb worshop....and yeah..was a sack of poo until it smashed a piston ring to bits at wakefield...kept going though and eventually died on the central coast a week later....400ks from home :P

MR2's are almost as much of a death trap as the old 911's with the engine waaay over the back

See, I enjoy 911's. But I'd rather stick to my current car to be honest.

Should I let the cat out of the bag and tell you all I'm looking closely at a full race/rally 1978 Porsche Turbo in Europe at the moment? ;) Don't tell anyone :laugh:

Details pls :no:

Disclaimer: Giving of details may lead to me purchasing it from under you. :P

that's a bit ghey... I had someone who had never even seen something with overhead cams do the machine work cos they were so cheap... unfortunately they never measured anything so the crank still had a bend in it... lasted an amazingly long time being abused with a banana for a crank

hey is the targa tour considered to be majorly limp wristed? sounds like a fun way of driving those roads without ruining your car or losing your license

am I banned from this section for mentioning the tour now?

That's why i said Europe and not a country. You can get farked :P

Don't make me throw a hissy fit!

I was looking up Euro Porkas for sale last night... hmmmmmmmmm. A LHD GT3 or '73 RS/RSR replica would look nice in my driveway me thinks. Pity I wouldn't be able to pay the bills to run it :laugh:

That is in my list for 2011. I highly doubt my car will make it OS so will be sitting around storage and I think Tasse will be ripe for the bark of a bit of gate and titanium exhaust tunes from RB20 :P

Benny boy, in case you are not stirring and will be looking at a car, I am out of India at end of the month and will be car stuff in Europe in June, so may be able to get pics/videos etc

I am seriously looking mate, in conjunction with a close friend. The car is good, it's me with the mental barrier.

Also, as I'm not at all familiar with the things, my big concern is running it against the known contenders, only to have a protest lodged for something that I wasn't aware wasn't factory or legal.

At least with a Datto I really have no one to blame except myself.

Hang on didn't you do the Tour one year?

yes me and dad did the first tour. Dad apparently was told that you could drive though the stage, but would be kicked out if you went too fast. By the start line there was a sloow tour leader.....it was a trap....a cold wet trap as the gt40 leaks like a siv

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
