just spoke to the rallysafe guys. Their system will be handed out at classic adelaide as they were at targa tas. They're still unsure when the product will be ready for purchase by joe public.

They're confident that octogon are going to sign an agreement for all four targa events so it looks like they'll continue to be handed out free of charge (well, included in your entry fee) for at least this year and next.

opinions....can you have a well setup targa 33 gtr which is a weapon in circuit events? hoping for a car that can do low 2:20's (on slicks) at bathurst this year but want it to fit within the targa rules.

or do i give up and buy an evo and forget about the circuit stuff? (sorry to mention the e word on here)

One word.... 400R...... That thing of Davids is off its head. Watched it launch off a few stages and it hooks up and goes like stink. Apparently it burns a litre of E85 per km to do it though. :)

Would definately be a quick circuit car too I imagine. But I am sure all that power hurts tyres as well, although snowy makes his last OK. I think similar to Snowies build of a Z tune, you can build you 33 as a 400R replica and work anywhere up to the full spec of the 400R. So you can take advantage of any turbo, cam, stroker engine and other options that model offers but not necesaroly all of them. ie. Snowy didnt bother building a stroker motor. But I think you will have to get the cosmetic side of it right and have all the right body kit.

TK80 - My company is an agent for Monit and Terratrip. Can look after you on both and we offer discounts for Targa entrants!... the Monit is a massive improvment over Terra from every angle and we can supply wheel, eletronic speedo and GPS probe options.

yep R33 N1's, full boost at 5500rpm. dad ran 25psi through them in Targa 2010, and we checked them after the event, and they are still like new. cams were stockers n1's.

anyone with R34 N1's who winges needs a kick in the pants.

Yeah but if EMO 4's + 6's are running EMO 9 Titanium RS turbo's...... anyone who runs R33 N1's would be an idiot. :)

^^^^ Possibly!!! ;) If you are finding the genuine factory replacement turbo hard to find, there might be an option to consider a suitable replacement be it a genuine nissan fitment from a later model nissan or an aftermarket equivalent....just sayin... Of course you would be silly to do it without consulting the organisers. :)

Eggsacary!

I believe it depends on if you can buy em new from Nissan or not... Of which who knows. It's funny with Nissan what they still make, and what they do not. Some of it defies logic.

Nice little upgrade for EVO4 owners though, EVO9 turbo is a nice step up.

  • 3 weeks later...

So... the white dragon has officially gone to a new home.

Happily to someone from the SAU community so we should still get to see it kicking around in the future.

But it was an awesome car (in the end!) and will be missed.

I'm still not 100% set on my future plans - other than to say that I do have future plans - but whatever it turns out to be I sure hope it can bring me the same amount of joy as the R34 era did.

:cheers:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
