targa

Boat leaves Saturday nite from Melbourne Our GTR R34 will be on it, I hope 7th time in GTR 13th targa in total Might be getting time to retire It's hard work Could be a bit difficult to make top ten this year, lots of very fast cars.

I'm in (asked for senior card discount) Nerida pissed codriver in for ave speed events only love the dome scary shit if you never tried it before BIG SlIDES 180 kph plus

you car only "pull the fuse " on R 32 R 33,R 34 have 10% drive to the front all time The trick is to lift the coin tray, undo a nut at the front of the G senser and lift it up to about 30 degrees to make 4 wheel drive work all the time jeff

Don't wast time at E 10 came to Acra machinery Stand and see a real Targa car the 3 rd in prologue and 7 th outright GT-R R 34 N1 on the stand with totally stuffed front under tray, bald tyres etc jeff

Not quite the regs say " the dia at the first muffler or cat"

At Burnie they were onthe front we swaped them to the back to avoid the canvas on the last day We missed doing Arrowsmith fast as we stopped at Rooklyn big crash about 5 klms in to the stage The service crew we shared with Coads and three others had truck with a ramp that you could work under started at 10.30 finished about 3.00 had an old clutch, down past the rivets,that we threw in It lasted O K Tyres! Had a gamble on yokohama AO48s M compound Too many dry day lost the gamble

slicks on the front for the last day ice and snow on the road buggered clutch 2 nd day replaced over night

Hi all If any of you have any Targa questions please ask Our great GT R R 34 was 3 rd in prologue and finished 7 th outright in modern Not bad for a 60 year old once a year racer with my lovely wife calling the notes Jeff Beable

No after the Porsche destroyed it's self at Sandown last year painting a new shell for it at the moment for it Should have stayed with the GTR 9th 1999, 3rd 2000, 6th 2001, 4th 2002 outright is O K Porsche 17th 2003 evil handling car tried too kill us lots of times IT need different springs and set up, goes a bit quicker than GTR though Jeff

Garwood has bought Jim Richards 996 turbo porsche and Mark Saxby 993 turbo My new porsche is a little bit quicker than the GTR but nowhere near as easy or nice to drive as the GTR "Time will tell" We did 93,94,95,96 in the Jag "The Two Ton *****" 97, 200sx skipped 98 99,2000,01,02 in the GTR It's a great event, best drive you can ever do What ever you do Targa Tom don't crash it in the first couple of days A lot of first timers do. I did the first year both the quick GTRs crashed last year its a long event so you need to take it easy to finish

Ford Proving Ground 2000 Grand Prix Rally 1997 R33 GTR You start at the start of the banking and your time is taken half way down the first straight bit flying eight mile plus police radar offical time 258kph willow bank Indy Rally 2001 drove in off the street removed spare and luggage first run 11.701 but I'm getting a bit old and slow these days!!!

Just read your post about Targa My R33 finished 4th last year only 5 sec off 3rd 6th in 2001 (gearbox fell out) 3rd in 2000 the hardest year of all If you want to know about it let me know

Three aussie GTRs plus 220 local hot rods. no rules in Targa NZ. (GTS R32 with 600+ hp, GTR motor, dry sump, 1230 kgs) lots of crashes. well worth a look
