Moving to a gt2 seems like a brave choice, doesn't it? I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but how could you survive with only 4 tyres for 4 days in a car like that?

Jim Richards publicly says that he only drives between 6 and 8 tenths for the whole event in Targa. Also he probably saw how well Brock did in the RWD Monaro so if he can do it so can Richards. I think we all know who is a better driver.

Also does anyone know if all four tyres on the porsche are the same size cause if so he can roate tyres around the car something he couldn't do last year.

White ones to cause panic

The whites are always quick but in Targa u need reliability.

My tip is the Porsche will still dominate for the next couple of years. What we really need is a factory backed nissan team or for nissan to get off their arse's and build the R35 that will be the car to win targa.

Hope to see heaps of u down here.

Cheers Lavers.

Most of the N1's are "N1 Spec" but started life as whatever. One car that is trick is 822. If it is the one I think it is - One of 16 R33 Mines V-Spec cars built.

We will try and keep our page updated daily, That is if I'm not overseeing midnight works, which is generally the case.

Click on this link once the event starts and check our progress. Note one Geoff & Neridah Beable have entered in their GTR... Stiff Competion indeed.

To win Category 8, you'll have to finish in the top ten, and to win category 9, you'll hav to win outright.

Was that 934? For sure (I have it on fairly good authority) its stablemate is a genuine artical too. How else do you get a full parts inventry?

yeah 934, damn dislexiya, lucky I didn't end up with an R23 race car lol

Good luck TT :P

Just prepare everything best we can, add LMS and come Wednesday morning try and keep it on the black stuff...

We have been here since Mid March - may have seen the Bunnings Gunmetal #832 at C.V & Driveshaft city.

A lot of time and money has been spent on suspension for this year in search of a 1 second per K gain. Last year It was bog stock with Tein and Dunlop Tyres...

TT

yeh ive seen it there a bit and at bunnings, was impressed with your effort last year, will be interesting this year with the optical start finish sensor, cos i know for a fact that the times get changed on preference (EG brocky). will hopefully see you at the end of the first stage bridgenorth i believe my job will be to collect time cards and have them stamped and returned to drivers

Octagon did though... This original post goes back a while

Noticed somewhere you decided to swap vehicles, was that after Rally Tas?

Good luck anyhow Geoff

No after the Porsche destroyed it's self at Sandown last year

painting a new shell for it at the moment for it

Should have stayed with the GTR

9th 1999, 3rd 2000, 6th 2001, 4th 2002 outright is O K

Porsche 17th 2003 evil handling car tried too kill us lots of times

IT need different springs and set up, goes a bit quicker than GTR though

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
