I want to know where these fast stages are! Sure there's some quick sections but every stage has it's slow to medium speed section to balance it out. Everyone is in with a crack...or are we smoking it instead??!! :)

I seem to remember that little 944 cleaing up the EM day 4-5 of Targa this year.

They won't have the benefit of 2 brand new tyres to help clear the puddles that they had then though.

And Dan is right - there are some really fast BITS but overall this course is twisty twisty. I've said before in the right hands I reckon an EMO could win Modern in this event and I can't see it being any different in EMod.

We only front to reared anyway, so no advantages.

Im just excited to use some new roads, and ones ive NEVER seen before!

It's going to be good fun. A couple of weeks out now and I'm starting to get excited :D

When are you heading over Timmy? And where are you staying - Top or Bottom?

I fly in tuesday morning (Cup day damn it!), staying at the top I think.

I actually feel really unorganised, all my gear is still filthy from the gravel season, haven't even looked at notes yet.

Wouldn't even know if the car has an engine in it lol!

I'm pumped up for 'BLUEGTR" to have a good run!

I hear the lad is quick!

Thanks Ben!! Just hoping for a good run this time in my own car.

Also got your number of Stu so might give you a buzz tomorrow about 4wd.

Although it's yet to be kitted out with it's full event livery and warning systems, the Just Jap Racing, Targa High Country R35 Zero Car is getting it's final prep for the event.

Steve from Just Jap is kindly handed over the keys to Targa Tasmania regulars David Ayers and Robbie Bolton (Nismo 400R) to blaze a trail for the competition cars at the 5-7 November event.

Fitted with almost the entire Just Jap R35 parts catalog, this is one Zero car that is sure get the spectators attention!

Emo's For The Win!

I kinda feel dirty saying that but hey its the truth. More power would be nice though.

Who is this imposter.... :P

Hahahah

I've already told ya I'll be a bit lighter than at Targa :) Should make up for our power figure!

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
