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 "

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
