It was Skyline heaven here on the weekend. There was 12 GTR's entered in rally tas, a couple of 32's some 33's & 3 34's.

Had a 34 in my garage on sunday afternoon, the crew needed to service it before a rally event in Vic this week. Wicked machine! huge brakes!

The guys that where crewing are from Tilbrook Auto & Dyno in S.A. Top blokes & really new there Skyline shit!

Will be catching up again when Targa rolls around. Unfortunately the best placed GTR in the rally was Tilbrooks 34 in 8th place.

What happend to th whites gtr that was placed second on Saturday ?

Hopefully not the same problem as happend last year in Targa.

Who was the driver of the tilbrook r34? last year steven Glenney was the only one sponsored by them.

Should meet up when Targa comes around. The best place i've found is on the sunday when they all go into scrutineering. Saw some mad beasts there last year.

Not long to go till targa now.

Cheers Lavers

Whites R34 shat another engine. Peter Moore was driving the Tilbrook sponcered R34. Steve Glenny is now rallying WRX's (shame!), his white R33 was here though, brought by a fella from NSW. I will be heading for the prologe at Georgetown this year for Targa. Some guys I know have been & they rekon it's a great day.

I cant wait for targa!. My mates and i take the week off and follow them around. Saw 7 stages last year (had a few beers inbetween!). The sideling was great because it was wet and you could see how the GTR`s handling differed from each model. R32`s seem to hang the arse out for ages before the ATTESA kicks in.

What are the whites doing wrong with the gtr? last rally tas they crashed this one they blew an engine and in targa they blew a head gasket.

What do you have to do to be a marshall for targa tim? Whats it like? do you see any of the action meet any of the people etc.

Yeah wogboy Georgetown is a good day but if you have the time the sideling is the ducks nuts of targa.

Checked yesterday and their are sixteen Skylines already entered in Targa 14 R's

Looks like its gunna be another good year.

Cheers Lavers

just about anyone can be some sort of marshall, the majority are just to set up the stage and or just keep an eye on things to put it plainly (keep crowds back a safe distance etc).

you get to see some good action in this position, but you don't really do anything.

My dad is a chief marshall and he requires a CAMS licence for that.

I am just a runner good thing to do cos you get to meet all the drivers.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
