i was watching targa :D

you were better off. I Had a squiz on saturday. Considering it wasn't wet there was a few offs!

powercruise was shithouse I reckon, the last 2 were reasonable. I wont bother going back ever again.

bugger that. too much exspense for too little race time. I'm thinking along the lines of super series. targa b sorta thing. mm maybe in a year or 2.

then again there's a few stacked up targa cars at work that would go cheap lol

would be fun as i reckon, out of interest how much have to set aside to make your car compliant to targa regulations funz? Saw around 8 skylines all up in targa and on the woodbridge hill there was an SL/R5000 on the back of a tow truck with a sore nose.

biggest cost that ive encountered atm is rollcage and seats.. and thats not including the cost of entry fee, new semi's to run with and general maintenance to run the car and also the fact i need to buy/get built a hi flow turbo :) all this stuff here is looking at 8k+ BUT i plan on running the car in hillclimbs and track days all the time so im not just spending the dosh for targa :D

www.targawrestpoint.com.au has all the regs on what you can do :-)

Good luck getting the 350 passed for Targa with the engine mods!!!
he doesnt have any engine mods :S lol
Just spotted some BS^^^^^^^^^ :P

Also saw the red R35 this morning in Salamanca

what BS you talking about lol... me rather confused lol

BS is IN BOLD ya computer tweaking geek!!!

YUP! pretty sure i remember seeing this car about at powercruise!

Should of come and said hi :D

Some dude named chris got some footage of me so i asked for the rest and here it is!

Fking RED Holden Drives taking off like grandma :)

and that footage shows exactly why I couldn't be bothered with Power Cruise.

Get out there on a proper track day with only 4 or so cars and full use of the track...

Much more fun if you ask me :blink:

And yes I am friends with the guy whos car the footage is taken from and also the guy in the "Fking RED Holden" as well.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
