Yeah us too! Last stage of the last day, Grass Tree hill reverse I call it, can't remember its proper name.

We had them in 2006 too, right in the middle of the roud when we appeared tapped out in 4th in the GTR. Silly boys. LOL

Risdon Brook, only reason any taswegian could remember is thats the place you go when you do something bad, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

look I'm not saying it was a brilliant decision from the emo driver....but if you are doing rally you have no right to expect the road to be clear around the corner.

anything could happen or change from the recce notes, that evo could have been crashed into the bank and sideways across the road (came across one of those at buller, an evo by chance). hell, a tree fell over the track at the bathurst 12 hours the other week!

so no need for anyone to carry on like a dickhead

Sure Dunc, understand there may have been some over-reaction (I don't know, I wasn't there), but there is quite a difference to between coming across a crashed car and one that is being deliberatly driven against the direction of traffic.

I don't even know if the Emo was running, he may have had a full view of Weeks coming up the road and was simply trying to roll it down hill to a safer spot? As always, there's two sides to a good story :)

Holy FAWK!

She'll be quick across the top of Cethana without that chicane! Without the chicane (for those who don't know), it'll read somethin like;

200 metres into eight right, 350 to nine right, 600 to ten right, (now doing, oh, 300klm/h!), 600m into 9 right over crest 250 to left 6 off camber tightens.....

LOL. I wanna go!!!!!!

I know, it's going to be bloody fast. I think Rianna will be pretty crazy with no chicanes (it's combined with natone again), those looong straights with all the crests in them, photgraphers will love it.

You know this but I'll spell it out.

That real fast shit is money, you need to spend a heap of time on those spots during recce so you know where you can hold the thing tapped. Of course you always need to ease the throttle if she's leaving terra firma, and mark your safe braking points so you can keep it flat for as long as you can knowing you can stop with confidence.

Might invest in a few tow trucks to sit somewhere near the 6L off camber...after a run like that to an off camber 6 there's going to be moments/carnage a plenty!

Damn you Rookie!!!!!!!! That said, little devo runs out of legs very quickly. She's only geared to 230ish in 5th, so would be sitting at 6.5-7k for a very long time there :)

No chicanes at all from what ive heard, ive got reservations on this idea though, not everyone that enters is a seasoned racer/professional etc

We'll see after this event if they actually have any impact or not from a safety aspect. I feel they might have added a bit of a buffer for the less competent.

remember chicains have not always been there, it was only 2003? they were introduced with not much populatity. the fast cars of the mid to late 90, some of which were boardering on sports sedans seemed to survive...and that was on road rubber.

If the average speed stays under the FIA imposed average speed limit for a stage, then by all means get rid of them!

I'm more concerned for the future of the sport regading the freedoms creeping in. I know when it was CAMS it was crazy, like if you wanted to run your GTR as N1 you have to have EVERY GENUINE N1 part on it, but to see these "specials" creeping in has me concerned.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
