BTW I think Paul's car looks fantastic

So between this one, Ben's R32 and I think there is one other R32 it should looks like a Nissan racing re-union, love it.

Once they stop pandering to the sooky Porsche drivers and let R32 into classics I reckon we will see a few more done the same way.

See...that is uber cool. Love to see an off its head go toe to toe with Blaise's chook cooker RX7. I will build it and Dr Woo can win in it!

hahah hope that's Liam :P

looks like ben had some bad luck, but at least it is still SAU all over the top of the class....hope those guys keep it together tomorrow.

looks like lots of big names fell off today, apparently conditions were terrible this morning.

Go piss bin into the lead in em

haha thanks guys. Got quite a surprise at lunch time. 30 or so cars didn't make it to the end today with several nasty looking crashes. Murchison and riana were two of the hardest stages for us with a mix of slippery tar, oil and plenty of literred cars. Turns out that 33 windscreen wipers don't really work over 180km/h.

Congrats Liam, great work getting through.

I know Kel was stoked with second as well, and if Mel had been 1 sec faster it would have been an all SAU podium.

And a GTR took the overall win too, so happy days for Skylines :)

Nice work Piss Bin and to everyone else down there. Looked like a bloody tough year!

And as stoked as I am for Jamie to come through for an outright, I'm absolutely shattered for Matt Close in his Audi. Knowing what Captain Fathom puts into it, and what a result it could have been, has kept me sleepless.

Awesome that YT could get that Evo over the line too. Really happy for him and John, and props to their mates and crew for pitching it so admirably.

Although I do hope to see a somewhat more competitive field in the future events, as I don't think it's just me who looks at it and wonder where some very long term (and fast) competitors have gone?

Cheers to everyone for all the nice stuff said.

We were just happy to get through this one given all of the carnage- the podium spot was a bloody nice bonus.

Massive Congratulations to Liam & Larry - so many people were happy to see you take the top step- especially us!

If there had been another stage it would have been an SAU 123 for EM. Mel was totally blitzing us at the back end of the event and for it to come down to one second in the end was just incredible.

Commiserations to Ben- this can be a rough old game sometimes.

It was also great to see Paul running the dirty 30- people (including the Nissan flag boys) were far more interested in that car than those (yawn) 35s!

Hopefully we'll add to the dinner set tonight. We could be a good chance for the team award, I'll get my platinum plate and a little birdy has suggested Steve and the Just Jap GTR may be joining the hall of fame ;)

Sounds like a case of steve bradbury then?

To finish first. First you must finish.

Never a truer saying.

Plenty of people can be quick but it's an endurance even not time attack. Targa history is full of people that nearly made

Thanks again everyone! Still riding the high of wining, though going back to work today was a killjoy.

We were so happy to see you up there too Kel!

Hats off to Mel too for the very close 4th place with several 1st in category stage times.

I tried to wave whenever we went past the guys with the Nissan flag. I'd love to see a 31 in it along side the 30 too!

Commiserations to Ben too as he was killing it before the alternator issue. He was really on a mission for stage times on day 5 and set several top 3 overall stage times.

    • 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.
