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.

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.

      thanks for heads up on actuators - will sort something as back up or solution as yes dont need that have enough trouble but no doubt some addition of something to spares boxes is required yes have a clue about WTAC but nothing has been officially put out yet so will wait to see exact details Pro class is, has been and will become a draw card for lap records and one off builds for show and thats about it I think - be interesting to see how open they make it Pro am is the old Pro in reality Open class will be split into 2 with slicks and 050's with no doubt slight variances in allowable drivers and changes in aero Clubsprint + apparently a true street class   They have to and are refreshing it all and bringing things up to current standards and need to 100% adhere to rules because whether people like it or not / or say it or not - for alot of competitors it is sheep stations and has been for a while when Im getting told I was illegal because i cut my rear bumper too high and yet others where in the grey areas of legality with everything from engines, suspension, ride heights and more serious influences it actually got quite out of control and heated this year so as much as I may be impacted by some of the changes and prob spit the dummy when I have to spend money changing things I think its a good thing for all

      I can’t tell if it’s suspension related or maybe wheel bearing or motor mount.  IMG_6209.MOV

      Start with a multimeter, and see if you're getting power at the TPS. There should be a manual for your car somewhere on these forums and it'll have the info for what closed TPS signal voltage is, and how it should sweep to full throttle. Same as for other sensors / valves.   Have you checked things like your base timing etc? See if anything looks amiss there too?

      here are 2x options to consider: https://www.selby.com.au/price-promise/tonewinner-sw-d6000-subwoofer.html https://www.apollohifi.com.au/svs-pb-3000-ported-subwoofer-black-ash-pre-order.html I'm waiting for a good BF/CM sale and will pull the trigger on a new sub, I do like the SVS PB-3000 (13") but you could nearly buy 2x Tonewinner D6000s (15")
