From what i've read the standerd F430 is faster than the standard Lambo. Si i'd imagine the Scuderia would be faster than the superlegs.

Yeah sure. But, cometh the rain, a 430 would be nowhere. It's akin to Jimmy being a winner in the dry in a GT3, but struggling in the same car in the wet.

In 2004 Phil Griffin wanted to run his 360 Challenge Stradale road car, but was told no due to lack of numbers built.

Benny, don't go doing anything crazy like "upgrading" your 33 yet mate, just get a bit of "Glenney" into you :) Geeez he was on the limit, had that thing haulin arse :D

oh don't worry, we don't have $400,000+ laying round to get a Ferrari, plus the rest to get it ready. Our good ol R33 will do us for a while.

One of the biggest surprises for us this year was how much faster the top guys are to everyone else, don't get me wrong we didn't expect to be near them, we just didn't think the differnce would be that big.

Glenny's nav must of taken the brave pills to ride with him when he had the GT-R.

Mark Perry, thanks for taking on board mine (and I'm assuming many others) suggestion.

In future, I can see a true "Showroom Showdown"!!!

Was at a certain Adelaide workshop the other day and saw one of the three M6's that grace our shores being prepared for the event.

I hope they ditch the exhaust... they sound so sweet.

Ok, so hopefully there'll be two R35 GTR's next year, and Heaphy told me over the weekend that he expect two Evo X's to be finished for it as well, though likely at this stage competing in Showroom. :D

I'll be watching with interest :D

Personally, I have a possible option of driving a Bullet Roadster in the 2009 event, but after the terrible event at Buller last weekend I'm steering clear of open cars.

We're doing a release on Tony's car. Don't think Steve will run one talking to him yesterday, but I know of three others that are trying to be sourced for the event. Certainly be two will run, maybe more.

On the way to Buller I spoke to one guy who was buying an Evo X for next year and others are talking to Heaphy and us... 4WD Showroom has people thinking.

Well with the help of Stu and BMS we are putting my car back into Targa Spec . i plan to do as many Hill climbs as possible next year and get a feel for the lack of power, and run Rally Tas and Burnie Rally in 2009 and debut in the Rookie section on Targa Tas in 2010. as long as i can get enough sponsership to help me out a bit.

Go the GTSt... when will these GTR owners learn!

I'm almost feeling guilty with this RX7 (goes to Whitey on Monday for cage)

Hahaha, ask YT how he fared in the face slap comp he challenged me to @ Buller Monday night! lol, he should still be showing signs! HAHAHA.

Nissan GT-R confirms Targa appearance in 2008

Monday November 26, 2007

Fresh from its world-wide unveiling at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, the new Nissan GT-R will make its Targa Tasmania debut in 2008.

The car has been entered by motorsport identity Tony Alford and will run in the stand-out Donut King colours.

The GT-R is described by Nissan as “an ultimate supercar for anyone, anywhere, at anytime”.

The car features a newly developed Premium Midship package, including the world’s first independent transaxle 4WD developed independently by Nissan.

Under the hood, the Nissan GT-R features an all-new 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 “VR38” engine, producing 353kW at 6400rpm and maximum torque of 588Nm from 3200 to 5200rpm.

Targa Tasmania event director, Mark Perry, is delighted that the GT-R will be on show to motorsport fans in Tasmania when the event is held from April 15-22.

“This car will be, I’m sure, very popular with spectators and fellow competitors,” Perry said.

“It really ensures Targa is a great showcase for all things automotive. At one end of the spectrum we have a huge range of classic cars, dating back to the 1930s, then we have the latest performance cars that have only just been released.”

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
