Congrats to Steve Glenney who finished 2nd to Jim Richards in Targa Tasmania. He Was in a R33 GTR which i believe is prepared by Tillbrooks here in SA. A good effort as i dont think any one can really match Richards ability and equipment.

Quote From Targa website:

Porsche driver Jim Richards won the Targa Tasmania tarmac rally Modern Competition for the seventh time after turning back a strong challenge from South Australia's Steve Glenney in today's fifth and final leg.

Richards and Tasmanian navigator Barry Oliver won the 12th annual Targa event in a turbo Porsche 911 with the lowest penalty time of 22-mins 30-secs. They finished 1-min 10-secs clear of second-placed Glenney and his navigator Clayton Lang, also from South Australia, in a Nissan Skyline GTR.

nice.. i heard of an R34 GTR N1 being specc'ed out for rallying that was from tassie.. not sure whether it was in this Targa .. but i think it might been in the next one.

Apaprently they got a top 10 finish last year in an EVO but they needed more power so they went the GTR.

i would say not even a porsche 911 turbo would be able to beat the combo of Richards and GTR

oh and gordy, that R34 GTR N1 was staying around my area in Hampton. Saw it down Hampton st a few times... then saw it parked outside a house, with like the names on the rear side windows and all the stickers. Look awesome!! too bad i didn't have a digi cam with me :) Up close tho, it looks friggen mean.

The stickers are different to the ones i saw in the pic above, but i doubt that the chances of there being 2 White, R34 GTR N1's with full rally spec cosmetics and mods in Oz. And i'm pretty sure had Jason White on the side window, but really can't remember.

I want to see Jim Richards in a R34 GTR N1 next time.. now that would be the coolest :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
