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 :)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
