Indeed. I learned to drive in an XB falcon and it is by far the worst handling car I have ever driven. Bana was brave to take it down there.

I understand his reluctance to start fixing it, I get the same feeling every time after somethign expensive breaks. You really do put everything into a car to get it ready and you feel gutted when something bad goes wrong - you need a real motivation to start again.

At that same targa we:

broke a caster rod mid stage

lost a fuel pump (wiring tore loose)

smashed the transfer case and gearbox selector.

the car got towed home and wasn't touched for 6 months even though the engine was fine :thumbsup:

I saw it last night, to be honest it wasn't as good as I expected. A lot of time was taken up with just targa footage - can watch that stuff on tv whenever. I would have liked more of the talkies with Clarkson, Jay and Phil discussing revhead psyche. Prolly get it on dvd though ;)

Good to see someone doing something they love with their success though - any rich bastard can buy a ferrari and tell everyone how good it is, respect to Eric for doing what most of us wish we could afford to do.

My girlfriend says she wants to do targa when we're older :P

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
