^^^ hearing you on the RSZ. Soiled my pants at TT this year thinking we had over cooked one a fraction given the confusion between the differing placement of the lead in signs... Thankfully they were obviously giving us a little bit of leeway.

My take on the Targa carnage is the same thing that caused me to have my epic fail. The repeated stages. The conditionns can change massively between runs with people cutting corners and dragging shit on. And i guess there is always the temptation to try to get a bit quicker on subsequent runs....combine that with piles of gravel in the corners... nasty!! Imagine repeated runs at Riana... We would all have pics for our pool room walls like Ben and Matty!! :)

I hated the RSZ this year. Lost 20 sec at Mersylea when we slowed down for some road work signs that were left out.......that wasn't even a RSZ. But even in the proper zones, I found it much harder to judge than the chicanes

Exactly. Rsz's always create confusion. Where if you hit a chicane, well, you hit a chicane.

Rsz's are like the computers in R35 gtr's..... too hard and simply impossible for me to pretend I'm interested long enough to begin to learn :P

How about this for Early Modern? It's the German version of the R35.... completes with automatics gears boxes.

Wow pretty cheap...

Yeah I know that........ after all this time it still kinda freaks me out every time I hear it. Regardless, if they don't have any inherent weaknesses (and I don't know if they do?) it would still be quick in the right hands.

Still a pretty quick car though. When I was testing Mel's GTR at Qld Raceway last year just after we finished building it, that Porsche was out there. It was a good couple of seconds faster than me each lap. I was on 8 year old Yoky 32's, and only running about 260kw, but the thing would pull 5 car lengths on me down the straight!

I can see you in that Benny, and as a bonus after a few years you would have a closet full of unused left race boots!

I noticed the Porsche of Win formerly owned by Matt Close now driving a TT RS with its understeer of fail has had 10k droppped off the price. That would be pretty special for EM. Although Porches, a bit like GTR's scare me. Buying them seems to be the cheap bit. Keeping em running is the pricey bit.

Been for sale for a LONG time, I reckon you could squeeze him. But yeh the Stuttgart Tax hurts! Seeing the costs when things goes wrong on a 944 is bad enough, a turbo would be 10x worse!

Yeah Timmy,

hear all sorts of scary stories of 40k engine builds and the like. A major failure of any kind would kill my racing budget instantly. I reckon he would have to be getting pretty negotiable by now. As you say, its been out there for a loooong time. You definately have to price your race cars right to get them sold in a sensible time frame.

My shitbox rice coooker might happen yet... :) Considering you can get a decent rolling shell for about 3k, people are asking pretty substantial prices for fairly basic finished ones. I kind of struggle to look at buying a finished car unless its exactly what i want or possibly priced cheap enough that it still stacks up after I change all the stuff I dont like. Kind of leads me to want to start from scratch as i would want to put a substantial cage in it.

A few finished options below, but nothig that I reckon is a really nice finished package.... other than the genuine moffat one maybe.... But rather get a Lambo for that money lol.

This one is the look I would go for....but 30k for something not quite finished.....

Blaise a mate of mine down here runs one in IP, I think he bought it for $25k, but has spent a truck load on it to get to where it is

and two race meetings in a row he has had to do this

I reckon your right though, build a car from scratch and then you know what you have

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
