OK, get the VCR's ready

Not only is Targa Tas on Channel 10 at 1pm on Sunday, but the mighty Dutton Rally is on SBS at 4.30pm

Keep an eye out for the SAUers, and particuarly Pete's bad behaviour on the skidpans...

I was lucky enough to see the final draft for the Fast Fours Magazine article today...

You two guys get a good rap from boxer and an awesome photo of the Skyline in action...

6 Pages in all covering the event - hits the newstands on or about the 16th July I think..

This is one Fast Fours EVERYONE should buy !!!!

sweet! looks like I'm buying my first copy of Fast Fours :rofl: Those guys from FF in the Lancer GSR did really well, 7th overall. Not sure why their entry is recorded as an EVO I tho :confused:

Did plenty of your pics get a run as well?

Chris's Lancer IS an EVO I :) - It has the GSR badges on it as it's a GSR, not the RS (ie, it's got climate control air and the bigger brakes etc whereas the RS spec comes with no Air, stock brakes, steel rims etc as these things are always replaced when racing/rallying..)

his nick on performance forums is "itsnotagsr" - because everyone asks him "Is that a GSR or an Evo ?"

6 out of 6 wet skid pan events certainly helped them climb the ladder..

No, I didn't end up sending them any of my pics because they paid their own camera dude to come down and take the pics for them and it would have been stupid to pay all that money to him and then not use them..

BUT I have had a lot of requests for images so far in quite a few publications..

So far

Hot Fours Magazne

Manly Daily,

Daily Telegraph,

Saturday Telegraph CARS Liftout section,

Mosman Daily,

Western Weekender,

Wentworth Courier

and a couple of manufactuers media releases

But by far the write up has been Boxer's effort in Fast Fours

I can't wait for the Victorian event now.......

Ha ha - I just watched the SBS story.

Fatz got awared tool of the meet award for some major sideways action and very petite reverse entry into the Motokhana finish :(

Saw some SAU ugly mugs too.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
