Hey guys, if you want to see a few Stagea's cruising around the hills of Perth, make sure that you go and see Targa West this year.

6 Stagea's in all are running as course cars.... mine included.

See the post at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=178869 and visit www.targawest.com.au

The opening day of competition at the 2007 QUIT Targa West tarmac rally will be run in memory of the

great Australian motor racing legend Peter Brock.

Peter’s brother Lewis Brock, his partner Julie Bamford and his co-driver from last year,

Mick Hone will all be present for the start of the rally.

The three will be visiting the Thursday prologue and the Friday morning rally start in Forrest Place in the

heart of Perth, where they will have a chance to catch up with friends from the world of motor sport

including Bathurst legends Jim Richards and Tony Longhurst, both of whom are competing in this years

rally.

Gonna be good weekend!

No sh*t??! Awesome! Wish I could be there to see that!

That's awesome, John!

Make sure you snap off plenty of shots with all of the cars together, as well as the odd competitor car if you can.

Hmmm, Biante models is a sponsor, hey? Man, I wish I could get a few 1/18 scale model Stageas to add to my car collection.

So It's all on this weekend.... only 5 Stagea's as Course cars, 3 S1's (2 Dark Green and 1 Silver) and 2 S2's (1 silver and my bluey).

Here are the easiest places to see all the cars together.

Tomorrow afternoon at Motorplex from 2:30pm - 4:30pm.

Forrest place on Friday morning from 7:30am , for the big send off, followed by Friday Morning at AHG (Perth Airport), at 9:15am. Keep an ear out for them en-route!!

Friday night at Northbridge (James St) is one of the easiest place to see all the cars together. There are 87 race cars. Come along and even get an autograph or 2.

I'll put up some photos after the event.

For people from east it should get eome air time, but don't know what time or channels.

Check out the website as there are some great spots for viewing, and to have a bit of a drive, like Bindoon, Muchea, and Toodyay. Oh and the Zig-Zag (uphill) on Friday.

Well that was some weekend! I managed a few nice fast legs, but some very slow ones with lots of stopping and things to do! Never mind that was my job, checking the course for the rally cars. AHG driving course was so well set up though, that we only moved one sign, then the 2nd lap was pretty fast.

Also one of the other drivers was so impressed with the Stagea that he now wants one... who can blame him?

I ended up doing about 1200kms over the 4 days, and had an absolute ball.

Here are the 000A, 000B and me (Advance 2) at Bindoon service stop. We were well before the rally cars, hence none there. I didn't get to see much actual rally action until we had finished our duties on Sunday.

Winner was Jim Richards, 2nd Tony Longhurst, 3rd Ross Dunkerton.

Roll on QTW 08.

Rally photo's should be up on the Quit Targa West site soon.

did anyone get to see the new Toyota Klugers they used as fast sweepers? Man, I was on the 3rd last stage and I laughed my head off as they went past. Both were blowing oil smoke, front wheels black with brake dust and I am 99% sure the champagne coloured one had 2 if not 3 knackered CV joints.

SUV FTMFL!!! ;)

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
