Dunc's love that SST humour :( oh so can you clarify in detail the actual mods to that car? I may have to buy an R34 someday, and would like to know what they have done to get it over the field of 996 TT's ....

and they won the whole thing Kor'axis....

well that was a hell of a week :(

our guys made it home in 38th with a rear suspension problem...they had been running as high as 28 but its just bad luck I guess.

Re the whites car....well SST must have tuned it since a fellow competitor claimed in made close to 800hp....from standard injectors, afm and exhaust?

Back before octagon steped in, there was a Japanise couple with a reputed 900hp GTR. Then octagon stepped in and everything is stockers now :)

well 900hp in the hands of an novice would always end in tears.... I think you will find that even Jimmy thought the 993 with a casual 550hp was far enough! now it is a lot safer, and also fair to all entering....

just pluck up 250k for a Z tune GTR and your in the game!....(still a lot less than a fully worked GT2 plus plus plus.... no change out of 500k)

speaking of novice drivers, I was more than impressed with Stuart Appleby!

anyone else a stand out?

hmmm, well the FIA stipulates maximum average speed targets that event organisers have to work within.

The whites have been unlucky at Targa on a few ocassions, so its great to see them win it.

In an event like Targa, I wouldn't look to the car for any great secrets for its success - it's real secret is the driver and his local knowledge.

well I only know the prep our car had but I can make some educated guesses about some others. First and foremost our car had the least power of any GTR there. Remembering the regs posted above, 100% standard that includes boost level 0.8bar, AFMs, Injectors, Airbox, standard exhaust diameter, no porting etc etc etc.

Re the car not popping this year, the whites did an engine change after 3 days last year, and a lot of work on the Sat night this year.....may have been an engine again I don't know.

For tyres most of the cars were running either Pirelli P Zero Corsa or Dunlop DZ02G, both in the hard compound. They are great tyres but the hard compound takes a lot of wear....but medium is too soft and wont make 6 days :P

I would love to see the leading cars put on a dyno :(

well any GTR making more grunt than a GT2 has to have some sexy "stock" boost! the GT2 might be only RWD but hell it is a bucket lighter, and was being steered buy a guy I know that can punt as good as most....JR incuded....

so do they data log every car? hmmm I doubt it :P

I still would LOVE to know what they have on that car :(

I read in the paper that they had centre diff problems on saturday, so that could explain the work they were doing? They also had ABS problems and were without it on Sunday (according to the Hobart Mercury)

is you car a genuine N1?

Last year the whites had to change the whole electrical system, and in the end the problem was a clogged fuel filter. (according to the targa DVD)

As far as i can see, Whites run their own brakes (work of art), Tein suspension, intercooler doesn't look factory (but i don't know if the N1 is different). dunno what eles they do besides ECU stuff... I know for a fact though Jason always has something up his sleeve.

did anyone hear that scrutineering pulled their car down to (of all things) check their flywheel was std??? talk about picky!!!

Well done to everyone who entered, its good to see all you guys at the pointy end, sad that there may only be a few more years left with all the rule changes possibly going ahead

BTW Greg good to meet you, and how did you go in the end?  Last I heard you had a radiator hose problem?

Yeh mate,,,

As is always the case, unless you are running near someone you don't catch up to them too often. Your boys will have to slow down.

We had an all nighter at the end of day two to repair a blown head gasket, but the head must have a woof in it, cos on the line temp shot to 110deg for TS1 - day 3.

After three days of short shifting and filling with water before and after each stage we had a small off at the 11k mark on South Riana. We were beached and the officials wouldnt let the local punters push her off... Bugger, game over. I had actually caught the 805 boys all but 100mtrs, and was really relaxed. As soon as I hit the loud pedal, it jumped to understeer and we ran out of black stuff - see party tape.

Talking to Jason and he has some N1 test bits like pistons etc the site might want to auction as a fund raiser...

We have proved that driving the wheels off a GTSt will brake your heart... 13th at the end of day one was a special moment and reward for a lot of effort by my Bunnings warehouse crew.

We are happy with our performance, but next year we will be in a four wheeler (unfortunately from another brand - my chick loves diamonds, Evo Diamonds LOL).

I love Nissan as a brand, but could not drive like Jason has to for five days to mnake the oem diff setup work.

Will stay in touch, and treasure the friends I have made thru this site always.

Good Luck next year guys....

PS... Ken, Doug and Dave are devistated, but know what it takes to get a plate.... will only be a matter of time.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
