The DiRTgarage GTR of Paul and Stacey Diemar is to be retired from racing soon due to the inability to attract a major sponsor or workshop backing. This decision is made with the utmost regret but was, and is necessary due to the new arrival of baby Elsie. The financial commitment to continue with the car is something that we are not able fully support. The car will be "mothballed" for a 12 month period and the decision will be made then whether to return to the track. The car is due to appear on the cover of HPI and a full shoot and cover of Ignition DVD and one more track day to be announced as the final runs for the car.

The cars most recent outing at WSID was world class and set a new benchmark for street orientated GTR's with a best of 9.97 @138 MPH 1.41 60'

The car is 7th overall in the HPI drag records and is mixing it with such names as Jacobsen, Wilson, Munro, Woolett and Garcia. Its the only privateer car in the list and/or the only one without heavy sponsorship or workshop backing.

A big thanks to the Australian Skyline community for their support in us and our car

cheers

Paul and Stace

good call Paul, it takes balls to say you've reached your goal and enoughs enough. Race cars are bottomless money pits that always cause compromise in other important parts of your life

well done acheiving what you have

no way... Thats sad to hear..

best of luck getting sponsors so we can see you back out on the track again

We have a proffesional "sponsor pack" that we are circulating. Also since posting this thread two organisations have displayed a keen interest in a partnership with us on an event by event basis.

So we will have to wait and see if its something we can both benefit from.

Shame your not in Brisbane cause we could have worked something out...I have a 550 sq meter workshop

What are house prices like up there...lol

"twoogle" is the nickname given to the car...our number plate TWO:06L was misread by a mate to read twoogl, he started it and it just grew from there. Its even listed in Fast Fours drag records list as "twoogle"

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
