HAHAHA, nice profile pic mate!

You're up for Gold this year too aren't you?

Gold Gold Gold! That picture is supposed to have a copywrite to the Birubi Art R32 so don't know how its managed to sneek in there!

Oh and the Targa weather has arrived, early morning fog, cool with a fair bit of dew...

Ah yeah - the current forecast is for rain every day of Targa. Should be fun! (consequently we are changing over to the softer spring set-up today! LOL)

But Blue Gum are wrapped - they are sure to sell a stack of those expensive coats now!

I bet Blue Gum are wrapped! They aren't the Official event Apparel supplier anymore!

It is now The Targa Shop, which co-incidentally is our MAJOR sponsor this year!

Hahaha - Ooops! :D

And Benny no not that soft. Infact my "soft" is probably where most peoples hard set-up would be.

But then I'm harder than most so you get that. :)

Why does he persist on running them?

because the workshop that works on it is a bridestone dealer (who incdently doesn't run them on his own race car), and it just easier for him that chasing up the Dunlop man.

Whats hard about chasing up Bill? You call and order the tyres, they ring when they are in stock, go down and get them fitted, pay $$$ = Profit! plus 1 sec / km

What does Coop run on the A9X?

I'm on the boat tonght. :)

I'm all packed and ready. The car however isn't. LOL It was still in pieces when I left it late last night but it should all be sweet come 6pm tonight.

I still need to find some helping hands down in Tas (especially for day 5) but hopefully we can find someone friendly enough to help some blokes out.

the YT was testing just the other day, so he should be there...

but then again it is YT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gave the Road Car a run for Make a Wish at Symmons... Race car still in construction.

Good luck to all taking part. Just had a read of the rules (or lack of) So to make a tip I would have to assess the supercars,

Modern - Vandenberg/Herridge/Close

Showroom - Warren/Daylight/More Daylight

Rest - Usual Suspects

We have 2 x hoists close to Lonny - If you need any help give us a shout

TT984 (09)

Enjoy the Rain... 2003 was a hoot

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
