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.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
