Hey guys,

As per last year, I'll update daily the results of our almost platinum Targa competitor.

Jeff Beable, car 942, 2001 R34 GTR V-Spec N1

Normally runs in the top 10 in prologue (and the rest of the results) but this year blew a hose and had virtually no boost, hence no power, and ran 29th.

No breakages, will update tomorrow arvo.

Jeff running a very credible 29th, 31st, 22nd and 22nd in the Prologue and first 3 stages

Sadly both Craig in the 'Polite' Mustang (organisers wouldn't let him run with Barricade 'Police' signage - something about impersonating a police car...)

and the Barbie-pink 'Donunt King' R35 GT-R - are OUT

Keep going hard Jeff - best of luck!

Great work Jeff, was wondering if an update was coming.

Signage is great, reminds me of Buzzin Hornets on the old Jordan F1's when tabacco sponsorship wasn't permitted a few years ago in Europe instead of Benson and Hedges. Shame about the retirements though.

I've been speaking with Jeff daily.

As per normal, he's slowly getting faster, as per normal, I think he's hovering about 20th at the moment.

He told me of a tank slapping incident at about 180 kph over the top of the hill yesterday :S

Balls of steel I tells ya.

So Jeff has finished unscathed as usual and picked up a handy 20th position outright a field of fierce competition.

This year, very few of the front runners had any issues and for the most part, they stayed on the road.

Position 20, 942 Beable, Jeff Beable, Nerida VIC VIC 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec N1 CM23 14 4 20:33

Congrats to Jeff and Nerida for a solid drive.

Congrats to all who flew the SAU flag :)

Adz.....apparently ran over a rock that popped two tyres (F + R) and then popped the remaining front in the emergency brake. They couldn't get Targa approved size tyre replacements so had to pull out.

Well done to The Beables in finishing 20th. The pace was crazy at the top this year, hell. even Richards and Oliver couldn't stay in touch with the Evo of Glenny and Webb!

I belive a new SAUVIC member (or soon to be), finshed in 4th... stay tuned for more results! ;)

Tiges and Myself didn't want to hijack the Beable's thread Age, so we put a report in the Targa '08 thread HERE.

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
