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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
