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 :)

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
