Bumped into Jim RIchards at the Shannons tent at speed on the tweed over the weekend, he was standing next to his 997 GT2 which he drove in Targa West.

He was a great guy to chat to, i asked him what he thought of the r35. He said it was damn impressive and very very fast. I also asked him about his experience with the r32 and he said that it was an amazing vehicle to race.

We chatted for a few minutes, i told him i was a big fan etc!! as you do. Before i let him be, i asked if he was going to get his own back on the gtr in targa tas, he said "he's certainly going to try" the tone suggested there was a small amount of uncertainty in his 2 wheel drive porsche's capability against GTR and he went on to say how good the 4wd is down there [tas]........

What a great guy to chat to. Im still a big fan..

    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
    • I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
    • Finally had some time after working on other projects to jump back on this thing. Pulled all 4 wheels to check the brakes over and lucked out, only needed to bleed them/change fluid to get everything working!    Took it for its first quick spin (around 2km) up the road and ran great! Sounds like I have a left rear wheel bearing that needs replacing and there’s a shake in the steering wheel but the tires are absolutely junk on this thing and had been sitting flat when I went to first look at the car so we’ll see if that’s the cause.   Tach randomly started working but I notice if my hicas light comes on the tach stops working 🙃 yay for electrical gremlins 
    • Bunnings car park it is! if you buy the kind of dampers with the adjustable top on the strut you can see it, red, purple? So many options.
    • Yeh a meagre benefit, what strut tower brace are you using? Eventually all the suspension and tyres are done and you get to ... meagre benefits. Narrow end of the wedge, all that stuff.
