Half way mark of the season already. Im currently 4th in Targa B, with a 3rd and 2 5th placings. Had some troubles but hopefully they are over and I will be back at the front of the field somewhere. My car will be sporting a new look, lets just say the green is gone. Pity actually, since i made myself a t-shirt!! Ill be wearing it anyway until i make another.

All the usual classes will be racing

HQ

IP/SS

Historic

Targa

Vee's

Regularity (maybe)

Racing usually starts at 11am, practice from 9am. Entry??? $10 i think

Hopefully the weather will be fine. I dont have room to bring all my wheels and tyres this time.

Well i didnt have the meeting I was hoping to have. Still not enough grunt for Symmons. couldnt crack the 63's. Doesnt help when you knock the boost control onto the lowest setting either which I did in Race 1. Then in Race 3 a small vacum hose cracked and came off. And to top it off in Race 4 the power steering belt broke. I drove the last race without it just to finish and get points.

So now its back to Baskerville on Sept 27/28th for the HQ nationals and also the 20th year of HQ's. We should go better there.

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
