18" brakes? get the tape measure out, you need to run std size wheels in Targa. Don't think 16" wheels would fit. :-)

:D i wasn't going to say anything about the brakes or the fact that the suspension set up would be illegal as well (unless its just the TEIN set up)

Either way a built GTR is always nice to see on the road, sounds like there not taking any chances with a new motor/box :/

32 GTR price $12000 - $200 000+

Its not the JIGSAW racing 32 is it Skip???

I thought jigsaw racing's was a R33? Targa will only let you have adjustible dampers, averything elce must be stock (even hicas :/ ). And this year you were allowed to run option sized wheels (18x9 on R32, and 18x10 R33) but that rule might be getting reversed.

Is it matt's blue R32?

The V-spec GTR is 33 but there is also a 32 GTR getting around with the JIGSAW Racing sticker.

Rickard's was running a single set up or has he changed again???

I doubt he would take it to a local servo anyhow unless it was to get a wheel alignment or something along those lines.

Hopefully Benno can post up about the wheels and ruling for TT08...

Im still trying to picture 18" brakes and the wheels you would need to clear them :/

If the work shop is in kingston, its Matts Blue GTR and all they are doing is just putting the engine in its really a RacePace built car!

Ah that makes sense then, will be good to see it back in action again as its been off the road for a while (longer than mine :spank: )

Did he stick with the single or go back to twin set up again Ray???

Optional wheels sizes will be OK for TT08.

R33 can contuine with 18x10, R32 17x9 or 18x9.

Yeah you can run them but you can bet onyone who does is either slow or has illegal diffs.

(Not that anyonew seems to check!)

An R33 with tarmac rally legal engine gearbox is etc is not goiung to pull 18 x 10s.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
