Hi, I've seen a previous post on this topic however there was never a definitive answer. Can anyone say for certain whether or not an R33 GTR and GTST fuel tank are identical? Cheers, JB

Wanting to buy a vented carbon fiber bonnet to suit a 1995 R33 GTR. New or second hand. Cheers, John

The kid driving it was 16 wasn't he?

I'd prefer to keep the tree an extra 20cm away from my body.

A few weeks ago on the Great Tarmac Rally I butchered a front set of medium Hankook Z221's in a day but was trying to drive too hard, hugging corners too much and understeering. In comparison with dad driving on the Targa High Country the tyres almost still had the labels on them after 3 days! Sure he may not have been driving as hard but we were still giving it a go. A lot of it comes down to the driving style/technique (at least in our case). I just need to work on getting all my braking done before the corner and apex more precisely before powering out. A little more difficult to do rallying compared to on a track but that's what its all about! Our clutch didn't get any better or worse after the 2nd day. It is a strange problem though, it would slip down low then grip up at higher revs -even during full boost. Made it hard accelerating out of slow corners, especially up Buller! We were just happy to finish!

Anyone know of someone in the Mansfield/Melbourne area that could supply and help fit a nismo twin plate clutch tonight (Saturday)? Clutch started slipping after lunch today on the Targa High Country. Please call 0422 808 999. Any help much appreciated!

My father and I are entered. Was down that way a few weeks ago for the Great Tarmac Rally, roads are looking nice.

Hi Guys, As title suggests, looking for a replacement front splitter for an R33 GTR. Preferably carbon, new or used in good condition around Sydney area. Cheers, jb.

My father will be there in the R33. I'm sitting this one out while his mate navigates and ticks targa off his bucket list. The car is ready to go after a shake down at Marulan on the weekend. Just waiting on a new set of brake pads to show up in the mail.

I'll be entering either the Great Tarmac Rally or Snowy River Sprint this year for my first tarmac rally as driver after navigating for my father in past Targa events. He ran in the Baw Baw Sprint the other week and loved it. Apparently its very well organised and laid back. Sounds like a good place to get my feet wet. Hopefully one day there'll be enough interest for an event in NSW. Travelling south for every rally could get tiresome.

Targa newsletter in my email last night says HANS devices are now required for all Modern entrants (cars built from 1 January 1985). Anyone running in Wrest Point this year? I see 4 GT-R's entered. In other news, bit the bullet and ordering MCA Gold's for the R33.

Being new to the skyline scene can anyone offer any advice where to start looking in regards to ride height and spring rates for an r33 tarmac rally setup? Currently there's only about 80mm clearance to the sump guard and exhaust and I've measured approx 350mm from the top of the guard to the centre of the wheel. This is ok for the track but I'm not sure if it will hold up over the dips, bumps and undulations of targa.

Thanks the z221's look good but looking to complete a pair of ao50's I already have. To clarify, buying from interstate members without much history would need some kind of buyer protection.. eg. would buy them from you through ebay. Don't wanna get ripped off. Still looking, cheers.

duplicate post please delete.

Hi Guys, Looking for a pair of used AO50 semi slicks in 265/35/18 for some practice days. Something with a decent amount of meat left would be great. I'm in Sydney area. Can arrange interstate freight for the right pair. Cheers. John
