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.

BASS OUT

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.

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
