what date is the baskerville hill climb? its not that cove hill route is it..?

mite grab some new tires and come along.

Only thing is, looking into my crystal ball, just now, its looky cloudy.... wait.. RAIN lol

whats the requirements for the tas hill climb series?

ie, licences etc and car requiremnets. Usual stuff like tow hook marking, battery marker? and or kill switch?

Just wanna know whats involved before I lay down coin on tires etc

good helmet, cams 2s license (which goes hand in hand with a CAMS approved club) fire extinguisher , battery sticker thats about it lol they usually recommend secondary bonnet restraint but at CV i was just using normal latch ones. if i dont run basky HC (which is looking like im not atm with the cars issues ) you can borrow my helmet jack :blush:

Edited by Funz

Blue 150mm sided triangle to mark battery location

Metal Valve caps

No fluid leaks

Fire Extinguisher with Metal Bracket

Helmet that meets AS1698-74

Good seatbelts (Not UV damaged or frayed)

Good throttle return spring/mechanism

Treaded tryes. ie: if they bald to start with then no run.

I could go on but they are the basics.

and yes I did do all the relevant training and assessment's to be a CAMS Scrutineer, just waiting on the Licence to arrive in the mail. :blush:

arh good well all thats a check. I'm a current member of HSCC just gotta work out the 2S or 2NS licence or whatever.

oh and re the helmet, thanks adam, but all sorted. cheers

Well, took three days in the end but...

Entire rear end has been removed, subframe bushes all pressed out and new Nolathane bushes fitted in their place and got back on the road Monday night.

I have to say that for such a small change, 4 bushes, its made such a difference to the way the car reacts and drives.

Bring on Basky I say, enry went in the mail today, scrutineering tomorrow.

just got my 33gtst back, made 270rwkw on a steady 15pound, do another 1000k's then re-tune at Advan in sydney and run 25pound. hoping to get over 330rwkw. and building a 3L t51r SPL motor hopefully going into a 34gtr. got the bottom end and turbo. YAY!

Sounds like your alot closer than me PJ, my engine hasn't even turned up yet so looks like i wont be making Basky at this stage :banana:

It has given me plenty of time to clean up a few other things with the car though but this weather is killing me with no garage to work in ;)

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
