BAW BAW UPDATE

No time for Targa? Just want to keep on rallying? Perhaps you are looking for an affordable new fix for the rally blues during the mid-year rally down time?

Well…. In less than two months, a brand new rally held in your own backyard will stake its place on the tarmac rally calendar.

The inaugural Mt Baw Baw Sprint is a multi-stage rally run across the weekend of April 30 and May 1, and promises some fantastic features no other can currently match.

The 16 stage rally runs over three different roads for nearly 200 competitive kilometres, yet the compact nature and design of the rally means the liaison between stages totals just 120km.

The rally will also be split into a field of two, with half the competitors tackling the summit road to the Baw Baw peak, while the rest compete on the surrounding mountain roads. Meeting up for lunch to tell tall tales, the groups will then swap.

What does it mean for you? It means more racing and less hurry-up-and-waiting! And all for the bargain entry price of just $1950.

Competitors will climb the winding 15.50km access road to the summit of Mt Baw Baw for eight runs over the course of the weekend. There are an additional eight sections of tarmac to run that surround the alpine summit.

The competition is open to both Modern and Classic cars, with a hero award for the fastest run up the Baw Baw road.

No rollcage? No problem. Enter the Touring category for just $350 and be a part of the action or whet your rally whistle without the expense of building and running a fully prepped rally vehicle.

The mountain is only 90 minutes drive from Melbourne, making it the Victorian capital’s most accessible ski mountain – with the steepest driveway.

The fantastic facilities and on-site accommodation at Mt Baw Baw will suit all tastes and budgets, and the Sprint Bar, open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, will ensure the rally is a real social event in itself.

Speaking of which - there are plenty of Targa tarmac comrades already signed up to the Sprint, which is scheduled three weeks after the Tasmanian rally. Mountain Motorsports can cater for returning competitors with storage for rally cars in Melbourne.

Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this brand new event on the tarmac rally calendar. Complete and return the attached 2011 MT BAW BAW SPRINT EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FORM.

sounds like a good event. anyone done any of the stages they run? possibly not since they are claiming 'brand new event'. still I imagine there are some good pieces of road up there.

      NC MX5

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.

      What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.

      Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.

      Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
