Steven Jones Nissan Skyline R35 Gtr Is The New Leader Of Quit Targa West Competition Modern Class.


Recommended Posts

A cut and paste from the Targa West web site

Steven Jones takes the lead...

Perth young gun Steven Jones (Nissan Skyline GTR) is the new leader of QUIT Targa West Competition Modern class overtaking Kevin Weeks (Lamborghini Superleggera) on SS19.

Jones, who sacrifices weight advantage and tarmac rally experience to Weeks and tarmac legend Jim Richards (Porsche 911 GT2), pushed both drivers to the final stage, recording stage wins across the day, finishing 11 seconds ahead of Richards in second.

A blistering time set by Jones on SS19, and a pace noting error by leader Weeks, saw the 23-year-old take the rally lead.

Jones will have a fight on his hands on the final day of competition tomorrow with 2007 QUIT Targa West Competition Modern champion Richards sure to come out hot on his heels in a quest to defend his title.

Yep. Pace note error hey. Sounds like tomorrow is gonna be real tough only 4 secs ahead of Richards but judging from today Jones can drive pretty damn well.

Thats absolutely farkin awesome, 1 day to go and it definately looks like at least a top 3 finish. I wonder where the Corvette Zr1 is though :3some:

He made more ground in later stages and is now about 11 seconds ahead Unofficial Results Link, he can drive alright and people need to know that he is mainly self funded and he is driving his own personal car not a paid drive, which means more when you look how well he is going.

Weeks was apparently using 2 year old pace notes, went straight over a crest when he was supposed to chuck a left. Cost him some time.

But, Steve's been reeling him in on most stages, except for a couple where there were issues.

Keep in mind, Steve is running STREET TYRES!! The standard tyres that came with the car. Weeks is using T888's, and Richards also on R-Comps.

My meager effort on a still camera @ Timberten stage (chicane 1) today

Oh, and a vid of the lambo popping flames at the same chicane (the sound that thing made is pure pron)

Massive congrats to Jones if he has indeed won it. Not bad for a 23 year old, fark me.

But give me that Lambo - I think I just had an eargasm...

    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up. 
    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.
