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

Ken

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.

Hey Tim you said you were somehow involved with targa because of your dad.

Could you possibly do me a favour and get hold of a spare official pass so that I can get into the silverdome for free and get a good look at scrutineering.

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

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Think I found another reason to buy the Q50 rather than the skyline import, seems that unless you get the 400r the other models such as the GT miss out on the decent brakes and don't have the flappy paddles on the steering wheel to change gears. Its my day off work today and the Q50 listed @ the dealer in Brisbane that I mentioned in my 1st post looks like it sold as its listed as no longer available... Would have checked it out but can understand why it sold as it was a bargain price.

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
