Simonsen and White both had an Off in one of the stages today.

Thursday, 19 April, 2007 12.57PM

902 - Simonsen / Searcy - Off on TS13 Weldborough Pass - 8.4km - crew are OK

934 - White / White - Off on TS13 Weldbourgh Pass - 11.2km - crew are OK

Jeff getting faster in the Evo according to what results are available.

The Skelta is also out with mechanical dramas.

I have a gripe though.... BOOO to the Targa Tasmania website for not having bigger pictures available on the website.

This is the best I can get of Jeff in action.

Results page down whilst they do some work on it.

Current feelings from Jeff is that the car isn't as fast for him as the GTR.

Current placings as far as I can work out from non-confirmed times this afternoon is about 14th.

More when the results come in.

Okay report.

Jeff and 3 or 4 other Evos broke their front diffs on the same jump today.

Apparently one wheel lands on the dirt, one on the tarmac, and if you get a little bit of air underneath you the revs flair for a split second, at the same time the diff's lock up via the computers, and when you land, one side wants to spin, one doesn't and BANG.

So they spent the rest of the day driving on the rear diff only.

An Evo driving on its rear diff, is like a GTR trying to drive on it's front diff. Not fast....

New diff going in now and should be ready for tomorrow.

Current position, about 22nd.

But isn't that what a rally car should do in a normal day's work?? - Get loads of air and cover all types of surfaces? Hmmm....

So what you ar trying to say is that when the cars talents run out all EVO drivers show why they needed and EVO in the 1st place?

Now thats funny!!!!!! :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Hey ppls.

Well a quick wrap up.

Jeff had the diff replaced that night and was back on track the next morning.

However, placing 60th all day Saturday didn't help his position and driving the wheels off it on Sunday was pointless.

Positions in the 30s during Sunday reflected this.

So, 23rd outright for Jeff. I think that would have been his worst result in 14 years of Targa.

I'm sure Jeff will come on SAU during this week and give a bit of a wrap up.

Well done to Jeff for not leaving the track !!!

Maybe next year he'll be back in a GTR again..........

      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.
