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.

    • 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.
