Hey Dunc - we made it too believe it or not!

Car 814 1990 r32 gtr - we ran 3:48.09 today with a couple of noob moments that cost us about 10 seconds.

Been meaning to do the rounds just been so busy - hopefully get a chance out there tomorrow.

Good luck all!

[paulR32gtr]

Damn cooler pipes! Top bloke we ran into him on the boat on the way over gave us some good advice to settle us a bit.

[Duncan]

sorry guys I will include both in future update.

cooler pipes were nothing but trouble for us until we switch to silicon kits with those truck t style clamps. never had an issue since. I'm sure those guys will sort it and be straight back on their game.

Paul - re n00b moments, if I learnt anything last year it is that there are heaps of n00b moments ahead in the next 5 days. Don't overdrive, keep your car on the black stuff and you will have a blast. Our only goal was to finish, we were running around 50th until we went out and that was fine for me.

[giant]

good luck boys!!

How does Tony Alford rate as a driver ? Would be a pity for the GTR to have it's ass kicked just cause some rich CEO can't drive that good.

This post is a joke right?

[JAS-25T]

why can't he have a genuine question blitz?

Tony Alford is a great driver with years and years of experience. many of which are at Targa

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Sorry, I've never heard of him before that all. I'm glad if he's a top level driver, cause I really want to see the GTR do well. No offence intended

[Richie33]

I think all of today's stages have finished and it looks like he is 22nd in the R35
