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.

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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
