Ah Mr Glenny,

Yes if he continues to attack Targa the way he did last year he will increase his fan base... of which I am one. The only trouble with Targa is it only rewards you for where you finish!!

This bloke who calls himself "Targa".... should be "BP" - the quite achiever..... I think he is (hope you aren't affended easy G) an older bugger and he has the missers callng the notes. I would say - can drive a bit and has the results on the board.

There are a lot of GT-R's running this year, and I bet one or two finishes in the boonies

And yes Targa I will be trying to prevent the red mist.... Having raced motorcycles for a few years, I remmember my first trip to Oran Park. Drove all night from Qld... and finished on my arse at turn two lap one of Sundays first race... LOL No refunded entry and no prize money... just another red eye back to Qld.

Anyhow gotta do some more work otherwise mine wont be there

Ciao:)

We did 93,94,95,96 in the Jag  

"The Two Ton *****"

97, 200sx

skipped 98

99,2000,01,02 in the GTR

It's a great event, best drive you can ever do What ever you do Targa Tom don't crash it in the first couple of days A lot of first timers do.

I did the first year

both the quick GTRs crashed last year its a long event so you need to take it easy to finish

Nice to see you watching these forums Jeff.

Shame you have turned to the dark side ( if you can't beat em join em ) Porsches but they are hard to beat if you can afford them.

My belief is that a GTR is the ONLY other vehicle capable of beating a Porsche at Targa in the right hands.

It's a shame you didn't continue your development of the GTR marque because I believe your driving record speaks for itself ( ie. Bloody Good !! )

If you beat the Whites GTR I will for one , personally bag you , you traitor:D Hehehe

Good luck anyway and keep the shiny side up.

Cheers

The White's had a monumental crash in rally tas recently I believe, dunno if they'll be in targa or not?

All the N1's in the world can come down to Tassie, but I really doubt Richards will lose while he is still breathing and entering targa! barring crashes, mechanical failures of course.

Its a wonder porsche don't just sponsor targa, its already tailor made for the bloody things.

I'd love to see a GTR take it though. Also like to see the GTS-X that runs get up there in the modern classics...

cheers,

floody

The Whites will be there!!!!

I would imagine as I type John is standing bake throwing more money at the event.... LOL

From my observations, it is the toreque that gives the porsche an advantage... Best people to ask would be Jim, Targa and Greg Garwood.... they have all made the switch...

Me, I reckon a HCR32 is the go. Which reminds me better go and do some more work... race is now only FOUR WEEKS AWAY

:eek:

FYI

targa entries in Datsuns

this has been taken from this years targa guide:

801 91 R32 WakujiroKobayashi

802 98 R33 V spec N1 mines Jeff Keyte Joanne Keyte

803 93 R32 Steve Thatcher Stella Plenderleith

806 95 R33 V spec N1 Steve Gleeney Clayton Lang

808 95 R33 V spec Dean Evans Paul Fourie

816 95 R33 V spec Paul Bergmann David Ovenden

817 97 R33 V spec John Atherton Ian Young

819 95 R33 V spec David Ayres David Dungey

833 95 R33 V spec James Miedecke Peta Roberts

934 01 R34 V specII N1 John White Jason White

941 02 R34 V specII N1 Peter Moore Stuart Boyce

942 00 R34 V spec N1 George Nittis David Carra

I have put in the list the cars which I believe are genuine N1's as opposed to those that run the "N1" spec for targa.

this years modern fields are large amoutns of skylines and large amounts of porsches..

I agree 2000 was a tough year(we came off and totalled a series 6 rx-7 that year).

I am fortunate enough to navigate for my dad in the event and have done so in 2000 20001 2002 and will be navigating again this year. Going for our 1st gold plate *yay*

Will be cool to catch up with fellow forum members over there i'll be in the Yellow GT3CS de Corti/de Corti entry #904 :)

Have fun people

The minimum contribution by our commercial partners was quit substantial.

By running decals - and there isn't a lot of room - it devalues the investment by our partners.

Having said that, our service vehicle carried all our product supporters and those others who helped make the event possible... With this in mind and the excellent quality of 99.9% of this site, we will find a spot for a decal supporting it.

And here is a thought, get a few Skyline Owners together and go to tassie in 2004. Enjoy the event, red wine, and roads... and with a bit of luck, a certain horse trainer may take the next step...

Ciao TT#832

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
