Hi all..

I'm getting involved in the chicane teams again for this year's Targa West on the weekend of the 9th/10th of September. We're a bit short on teams so the organiser has asked me to post up the following:

************************************

Targa West is on again this year Sept 7 - 10.

It's a Targa Tassie style event run right here in our own backyard. This year there is a great field of cars ranging from Posche GT3's, Lamborghini Gallardo, Maserati BiTurbo, to the awesome Orange Monaro of Steve Coad.

A great way of getting close to the cars on the stages is to be involved in a chicane team. All the chicane team is required to do is to set the chicane up (place bollards & signs in pre-marked locations), monitor it whilst the cars go through and then pack up once the stage is closed.

This year, we need approximately 22 chicane teams (teams of 3) for the event.

I know a number of people from this list were involved last year, so please indicate if your team will be involved again this year. If you weren't involved last year, grab two of your mates and make up a team. There is only a couple of training sessions to go to and you'll be right to go.

Please either email me (phay @ iprimus.com.au - without the spaces) or text/call 0432 841 228 if you'd like to be involved.

There is more info available at www.targawest.com.au

*****************************

If you can get invovled I can recommend it. Having cars coming towards you hard under brakes from around 180~200km/h was pretty cool to watch.

Any questions - post em up and I'll try to answer them as best as possible - or just call Peter on the number above.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.

      Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
