this one could have been abit shit (eg like most Porsche/evo drivers at targa on day one)

this may have been my second run

enthusiasm grater than skill

and this one is the classic, f**ked up a corner and tried to gain time back at the next corner and almost hit a wall

Fark some of those were very close calls.

Jebuz Fatz! You drive like a crazy man with no fear! Full credit sir :)

its a big country the best way to see it is flat out!

remember i came 18th the winner was 12 seconds faster than me ..... now thats fast

i recon i could knock off another 3-4 seconds just with rubber thats not on the belts

Remind me if i ever co drive to wear an adult nappy damn!

Favourite quote of the co driver - "COLD TIRES COLD TIRES!'

and "BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE!"

Looks like a great layout. I would love to enter my 32 next time round. :)

Well done Big man!

Nice work Fatz. Some great footage and I reckon you've done a sterling job of capturing the whole "stuck in a car with Fatz and no way to get out" experience. Seriously though, looks like you're having a lot of fun and going very quick.

I love the whole "f*kf*kf*kf*k" moment into the chicane. I remember saying exactly that as you slid gracefully along the side of the blue Camry halfway down a soaked Macquarie Pass once opon a time. Happy days!

top 3 were all group a rally cars

wrx won it( looked like a cat on redbull that had been shot in the arse by lightning when on the gas)

The WRX that won was apparently nothing too extreme. The driver is the same guy that built the two WRXs that won Targa in 2004 and 2007, so he knows a bit about setup and tuning. Helps that he can drive a little bit.

I would love to have a crack at this. I'll see if I can remember where I put my helmet hey?

Cheers n beers,

Gibbo

perhaps an Evo or Rexy would suit you better

Insane driving - GTRs are big heavy sons of bitches and rally courses will always be challenging for them

But after seeing your driving style you seem not to be afraid of bending that whale that takes balls.........big balls

I want to see more photage

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
