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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
