Yep yep. Wayne said we're all welcome. We'll need someone to grab some snags/bread/whatever to throw on the BBQ, and probably some tofu or something for Snowy, he's a bit of a health fanatic.

They're erecting a teepee at the Olde Tudor, so hopefully no rain.

And thanks Kel, see ya soon :)

You know the sad thing is yesterday I was diagnosed with a hiatis hernia so I almost might have to start becoming a health freak.

Mind you they say one of the biggest killers for me is coffee and I'm not giving that up for anything! LOL

That's along with spicy food, fatty food and alcohol - which means if I was to take all of them out of my current diet I'd be left with just the water I drink each morning in the shower.

:)

Anyways - will worry about all of that AFTER I get back from my week of fun. :worship:

I think this video summarises how I (and others) are feeling

Happy dance!! :);)

Bit of topic: Do any of you guys do the Rally Tas? Looks like I will be heading down that way for the June event..got myself a ride now all I need is experience :)

Only one more sleep for me!

Which is lucky because I'm like a kid at Christmas - having trouble getting a decent nights sleep.

Lucky the Travelcalm on the boat tomorrow night will help :P

See everyone at the barbie on Saturday.

Except for me - you'll see me on the boat tomorrow :P

PS - was awake at 5:30am this morning with the brain ticky thing also. LOL *tick tick L3 tick tick R4/o tick tick* Probably shouldn't have spent yesterday evening watching targa vids on Youtube.

PPS - the weather forecasts are looking on the up :dry: Dry racing conditions FTW!

Hullo to people going to Targa Tasmania 2009. We are running an R32 GTR LE. It is one of the original Aus delivered cars #59 of the 100. We are in Classic Touring #23. Come and say hullo if you want.

True, see you for a shandy tomorrow night Snowy!

I am hoping you are right about the weather- Targa is much more fun when it's dry :P

Will definitely see you Silverdome John if not before :)

I'm on the plane tomorrow (Friday) morning, so I'll see you all down there.

Not sure that we'll need pace notes @ 5:30AM Snowy, but I rest assured that IF we do...you'll be a pro :)

Dry weather will be good too

Not long now :ph34r:

Have fun everybody,,,especially you Kelly,,,oh if a Mazda RX8 mechanic walks up to you and starts singing "around the outside" he's cool ,,,he's a good friend of ours,,,his name is Micky.

    • Hi everyone, Apologies in advance if this feels like a topic covered multiple times. I'm only asking because some of the old topics I found are missing images now. I'm in the process of getting a manual boost controller (BC). Nothing fancy, just getting a manual one for now as I don't plan to go crazy with it and would not go over 10 PSI. My car is not jacked up on boost steroids to do crazy numbers. I want to understand the OEM setup of the boost solenoid and vacuum lines on the R34 GTT so I know what needs to be changed when I do install the BC. I sketched the current setup to the best I could see and it's on the diagram attached. If the boost controller 'Wastegate Arrow' goes from nipple 1 to 2. My understanding is that the red vacuum line's "F" connector-end should be connected to BC nipple #2? Nipple #1 is meant to have the "pressure source" so what vacuum line would that be? Is it the green vacuum line?  From what I have read here, the OEM boost solenoid is not used at this point. So that can come out and then I can just plug the nipple that usually connects to the blue vacuum line?  So would the final setup look something like this?   Thanks in advance. I don't want to already be knee-deep into pulling out vacuum lines before understanding this. I'm a noob when it comes to boost setups so trying to learn as I go.
    • Initial/early bite is a feature of.....generic pads. Things that work cold. Just put Bendix Ultimate in it. If you don't like them, it's only $3.50 wasted and an hour to change them. I've been using Intima SR, and they seem to be a good performance pad. Street friendly and able to take at least a little beating.
    • This is my first post after registering.. I hope i can find useful resources on this forum. Great forum. 
    • As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.
    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
