G'day guys driving home tonight I saw two Skyline Gtr's fully prepped for targa in pink with Donut king signage.

Guess this marks the start of cars coming in for targa.

for anyone who wanted a look they are at the suspension shop don't know the name opposite "store it safe" in Invermay.

Cheers Lavers

Good timing fellas

I will be coming over to service my old R32 GTR at Targa this year and am looking for someone I can loan jacks, stands , jerry cans etc off.

As W A is a long and expensive trip we are trying to keep transport costs down, especially of spare parts.

If you are mechanically minded and want to service on the the event, an arrangement can be made as well.

PM or contact me on the number below.

This is the new owners first time so don't expect anything magical but we hope to finish and build on the experience for next year.

Cheers

Duncan , know the feeling , we are still building brakes, installing clutches, re making exhausts.

Ours is 828

Cheers

Yeah Gtrken you could probably borrow most of that stuff off me If you want. my old man has heaps of stuff down in his shed.

Just PM me with the stuff you need and I'll check if we've got it.

Would love to be on a support crew but can't because i've got school that week. Bugger

Hope this can help in some way.

P.S.

If anyone else running in Targa wants any help just PM me.

Cheers Lavers.

Hi Laver,

Just thought I'd let you know that you were sort of right, and yes they are here for Targa, but that weekend for the Octagon 400 at Baskerville Raceway.

Cheers Mate and keep supporting the Skylines,

Regards

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
