Saw Geoff beale or beable or something, at our last sauvic meeting, his 34N1 was breath-taking. Full roll cage, quick realease steering wheel the whole nine yards. They are still stock though because of targa rules and whatnot, still amazing cars to see in real life. oh and to hear it driving through the burnley tunnel was amazing!

Big congrats to the whites, been following them ever since they entered their mad 300zx

Only modes your allowed in the modern section of Targa is

Breaks (what ever you can fit under your wheels)

Engine ECU

-45kg (but can't remove rear seats unless they have to go to fit a roll cage)

zorst (but it can't be any bigger, just high flow cat, mufler) and that's it

more boost (standard fridge)

thats awesome the R34 GTR of jason and john white winnning targa congrats to them both.

finally a GTR winning targa

see the R32 GTR crash into a fence and embankment and hit the cameraman.

I havent seen the footage yet, but I have a fair idea it was the car we built/prep. Was it car 828 - Doug Walker/David Watkin? White 32 with Jet-tech, AD Engineering and Hyperdrive Signage on it?

Shit - I hope not.

Ah, there's a bit more to it. Engine must be stock. Must run factory air box, cooler and exhaust size, although the latter can be aftermarket, just the same size as oem. No cat etc but it must have some sort of muffler. The management can be changed but only at the main connector. Everything must be as originally homologated - so the evidence first presented by the first guy to ever race a GTR at that level is the spec of the car you must run.

In the case of a 32, the rules even state what size oil cooler is permitted. With the 32, there are a couple of turbo choices too, but no bigger than Nismo 580's or 581's off the top of my head.

As you can imagine, it's damn hard to get power out of them that way. Our one makes 430hp at the wheels. Remember that sheer power isnt the goal, as the engine has to run flat out for several long days of competition.

The only freedoms in the class are saftey related. Brakes, cage etc. You can only strip the interior out if the cage is in the way. Ours runs Massive AP 6's front and 4's rear, that clear the inside of the homologation limited 17x8 inch wheel by no more than a business card. The cage is a full integrated welded in jobbie with bars everywhere.

The White team began the final day in first place and held on to win six minutes clear of Greg Garwood and John Allen in a turbo Porsche 911.

Jim Richards and Barry Oliver in a Porsche GT3 CS were another 13 minutes further back in third place, well ahead of the rest of the field who were more than nine hours behind the winners.

Top Australian golfer Stuart Appleby and co-driver Peter Burrey, driving a Lamborghini Gallardo, finished a creditable 10th.

Obviously they got the rain they were hoping for and Jimmy wasnt :)

They have always been the bridesmaid, so congratulations to them for finaly grabing the big one.

didn't i basicly say that (well that's what a meant anyway)

how much work is it to spec a R32 up to a N1? and can you just replace the ATTESA-ETS with ATTESA - pro to bring it upto a Vpec N1. Cause dad and I are looking to go in it next year.

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
