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:

    • 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.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
