I want to know where these fast stages are! Sure there's some quick sections but every stage has it's slow to medium speed section to balance it out. Everyone is in with a crack...or are we smoking it instead??!! :)

I seem to remember that little 944 cleaing up the EM day 4-5 of Targa this year.

They won't have the benefit of 2 brand new tyres to help clear the puddles that they had then though.

And Dan is right - there are some really fast BITS but overall this course is twisty twisty. I've said before in the right hands I reckon an EMO could win Modern in this event and I can't see it being any different in EMod.

We only front to reared anyway, so no advantages.

Im just excited to use some new roads, and ones ive NEVER seen before!

It's going to be good fun. A couple of weeks out now and I'm starting to get excited :D

When are you heading over Timmy? And where are you staying - Top or Bottom?

I fly in tuesday morning (Cup day damn it!), staying at the top I think.

I actually feel really unorganised, all my gear is still filthy from the gravel season, haven't even looked at notes yet.

Wouldn't even know if the car has an engine in it lol!

I'm pumped up for 'BLUEGTR" to have a good run!

I hear the lad is quick!

Thanks Ben!! Just hoping for a good run this time in my own car.

Also got your number of Stu so might give you a buzz tomorrow about 4wd.

Although it's yet to be kitted out with it's full event livery and warning systems, the Just Jap Racing, Targa High Country R35 Zero Car is getting it's final prep for the event.

Steve from Just Jap is kindly handed over the keys to Targa Tasmania regulars David Ayers and Robbie Bolton (Nismo 400R) to blaze a trail for the competition cars at the 5-7 November event.

Fitted with almost the entire Just Jap R35 parts catalog, this is one Zero car that is sure get the spectators attention!

Emo's For The Win!

I kinda feel dirty saying that but hey its the truth. More power would be nice though.

Who is this imposter.... :P

Hahahah

I've already told ya I'll be a bit lighter than at Targa :) Should make up for our power figure!

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
