i've been thinking about the brakes lately, and was wondering if it's worth ditching the booster for a consistand pedal? To see if I can get used to the feel of it, can i just disconect the vacume line from the booster? or dosn't that give a true feel. and are aux vacume tanks, worth it if i want to keep the booster?

the almighty rb20 and box...stock as per the targa regs. but it will be cheap... 100x cheaper than a porsche gt3 engine and box

lots of people run a harness with a oem seat. but i can't see how it would be comfortable, as the sholder straps come through the seat where your neck is, not over your sholders like a race seat (if that makes sence). i don't see why the cage has to be built round the seat, the the side intrusion usually sits out wide, and needs the door skins removed/modified.

you need to set these settings after you select vg30

the convenice far out weighs the weight. esp for the nav, as i'm going to mount the seat as far back and low as possible, so reaching winders would be a problem

more work was done on the weekend. all the sound deadener and tar is now gone , after inhailing much throttle body cleaner to get the last reminents of it. Damo removed the plastic, goo, and wiring from the passengers door still have to do the drivers door now to remove the a/c from the engine bay. a/c out lots more room now now to remove the entire r32 hicas system gone i'm running out of things to remove, i'll have to spend some money on a cage soon.

Tassie now gets it on the 30th of july.

The minimum wieght for Targa is about 1180kg from memory (factory -10%). So I'm planning to get as close to that as I can, so i'm cutting away everything i can, unfortinatuly my car is a 1992 model, and has the side intrusion, so i'm working how to cut that out. I'm likeing the look of some Buddy Club P1 QF wheels, as they are light as. GT-R lighter bits here and there, there are a few rusting GT-R's being wrecked in tassie ATM, and alloy dosn't rust Suspention will probably consist of GT-R sway bars. I'm planning to put pretty good shocks in the car, tossing up between, Bilsein PSS9's, Penske 8300's, and MCA's at this stage. I've run revalved Bilsteins in the GT-R for the pas 3 years. But the setup is a compremise between wet and dry, the shocks can handle a varity of spring rates. But you can really change springs between stages if it starts to rain. Drummonds don't seem to be that durable, I've spoken to a few people this year that have had seizing, and over heating problems with them. I'm not in a hurry to spen money there, going to do lots of research before I hand my money over. Since I live 20mins from Symmons, and it only cost me $65 to get on thetrack whenever I want, i'll be able to spent time to learn how to tune the shocks. Running gear will be stock, with a clutch upgrade, and maybe a GT-R diff center. The cage will be pretty extensive as it's going to tarmac rally. High and crossed over side intrusion bars. I'd like to extend the cage to the front towers, been looking at Duncans cage to work that out. Not sure what i'm going to do in the rear with the cage yet.

definatly team GTS-t!

if i wanted to spend a fortune i'd have got a gtr. gtst is pretty good value for money to go racing

Well i've been told to make a build thread by damo (djrift) I've been club racing my R32 GT-R for the past 3 years, and got it to the point where the car was too fast for club racing. It's a neat road car, so I didn't want to buture it with a cage and what not, and more to the point I don't have wads of cash to throw at it. So after talking to some people before Targa I decided to get a gtst to race in the Tas Super Series. Then I cracked the shits after Targa (for more reasons than the crashes, but I won't go into that), and decided to build it in line with the Targa rules, with the plan to set the car up, and learn it in the Tas Super Series next year, and enter Targa in 2011. I was lucky enough to find a car locally with no engine and gearbox, the chassis rails are straight as, and the only rust was under the rear pods. The guy was going to build it into a race car, but decided after pulling it into 1000 peices that he wanted to get rid of it. So a few weeks ago Dad, Damo and I went and picked the car up. We filled my car, Dads car, and the skyline with the parts. Damo said he was keen to help, so we'll be spending the next 6 months building it Got the car to Dad's and put it in his back yard, while he cleared a hole in the garrage. While he did that i got a cheap GT-R bonnet, front bar, boot, and rear wing. And sold the gtst bonnt off. awaiting a dirty cheap rb20 GT-R bonnet on. Horay...finally in the garage on the hoist still full of crap wheel has seen better days previous owner has removed a lard chunk of the tar still left me with some to clean up. ta da removing the wiring loom full loom out, and ready to be chopped up. more sound deadener, this weighed 5.5kg....and hid more tar fan, heater, ac, and pedels removed to get the deadener out. horay...more tar passengers side done just the center and drivers side to go. i'm planning to get a bond weld-in kit now.
