Jones had a comfortable margin in the end, Quinn was disqualified for an "exhaust irregularity" :D

good to hear, I beleive he has previously been warned about one or more "irregularities" in prior raliies as well. In my book if its not right you should be excluded, especially if you finish on the podium.

Well done Steve!

Klark Quinn was also excluded for running a 2.2L engine in his EVO.

It will be interesting to see the fall-out from all of that.

The stupid thing about TQ's car is that other than weight there is no real benifit been found for running the full exhaust systems in these R35's. So there is no real reason for him to be doing it.

A 2.2L in an EVO is a different matter however! I think it would be good to see them crack down on these strokers though as they seem pretty rife through-out the sport.

Hooray, well done to Steve for another win, and I'm stoked to see someone caught with a cheat spec Evo, might fright a few dozen other blokes into complying with the regs now! lol

I wonder what the exhaust thing was with Puppa Quinn, does anyone know for certain?

did anyone notice that quinn had a spec-v sticker on his car for Targa Tas? and have you seen some of the cool things Garage Saurus are finding on the spec-v that was never publisized (bigger turbos, bigger throttle bodies, and who knows what else)

Interesting about Quinn Jr, puts a bit of the question mark over other LWR cars.

Benny, If you entered it as a Spec V, who would have the knowledge base to argue about any of it's specs???? lol

The car has to be homologated in Australia before you can run it. Since nobody has a Spec-V here, you can't run a stock GT-R as a spec-V.

Good to see Steve win even when up against a modified GT-R.

Pretty pathetic that Tony Quinn didn't even get out of his car after the last stage to congratulate Steve, when everyone else (including his navigator) did.

I'm pretty sure only Nissan jp know all the goodies on the specv ATM. But as Targa West is a CAMS event the specv trick wouldn't work.

Hmm questionable in general? Yes

Questionable on LWR's part? No

Think back to the last LWR EVO that won Targa/RT etc That was pulled down in protest and found to be std capacity.

I think someone else has had their fingers in the pie there

He was most likely contemplating ending his life " i cheated and still lost , i got nothing "

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
