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


Recommended Posts

Well done to Steve and Fabcar for there achievement at Targawest.

I know Steve is well known and has many freinds within the "grass roots" car enthusiast community in Perth, so to you eastern states guys, they are not only sharing an achievement, but just supporting and promoting a freind.

I was lucky enough to watch Targa West Last year while I was working over in WA and I watched Steve compete in his Lancer Evolution, and he was Damnn quick on some of the stages.

In support of Snowmans comments, I have driven on the targa west roads and taken a good look at them, and I know some of us here in Victoria would not even consider those roads a "hills run" - they are very fast and flowing and not very steep.

Before you WA guys jump up and down about gooseberry hill - I have mates whos driveways to there properties are longer and more challenging than gooseberry hill.

When you have events like Lake mountain sprint, Targa Tas and Mt buller, not only are the roads very different, in terms of surface and elevation, but the climate and weather conditions are different.

What I guess he is trying to say is, lets see how Steve will do in Events like these before getting all worked up.

The only person who can make some of these comments about Steve and his driving or why he won is the F@#KER who was in front of him at the end of the race..............no wait he came first.

If you cant make a comment that isn't derogative or in some way making a statement as to why he would not win some were else JUST GO AND GET A F#@KING LIFE...........

This topic was not started so the rocket scientists from the IT section can make one of their assumption statements, the kid won the race in honour of his fathers death so keep it to your self.

No this is not because I am living WA, it is because a few oxygen thieves need to think before they open their mouth.

lol jash is a angry man!!!

starionturbo is right (thats a first)... most of the guys in perth and that have posted on here are actually mates with steve rather than fans

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
