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

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
