It's a R34 V'Spec II N1, the only diference is the breaks, Motec ECU, and higher boost. The Targa regs for the modern comp are so tight.

TARGA TASMANIA TARMAC RALLY

Day 4 Report

Hobart-Mole Creek-Burnie (110.29km competitive)

For Immediate Release: Saturday 30 April 2005

WHITE AND RICHARDS BATTLE FOR TARGA TASMANIA WIN

Heading into the final day of competition in the 2005 Targa Tasmania tarmac rally, Nissan Skyline driver, and local favourite to win, Jason White maintains a lead over former champion, Jim Richards.

Partnered by navigator John White, Hobart-based Jason completed the fourth leg of the event, over ten stages between Hobart and Burnie with a total penalty time of 12-mins 45-seconds. The uncle-nephew team now holds a 4-second advantage of over Porsche powered rival Richards.

They are followed by Queenslander Tony Quinn, and Tasmania’s Greg Garwood, both driving Porsches. The top four are separated by 31-seconds. In a Subaru Impreza WRX, veteran circuit racer Tony Longhurst slipped to 11th place, while golfer Stuart Appleby picked up his pace to finish twelfth.

The battle for top spot heated up on the third last stage of the 110.29km leg, when Richards caught up to obtain a 1-second lead over the Tasmanians. Despite some early mechanical issues, the Whites charged ahead, taking advantage of the wet conditions in their 4WD turbo-charged Nissan.

"I'm surprised we're still in front,” said White. "We had a hydraulic problem with our centre diff in Cethana and Jim (Richards) caught us. It's going to be hard to defend any lead we've got unless it rains tomorrow."

Although satisfied with the performance of his 2WD Porsche in today’s conditions, Richards is concerned about the impending wet weather and the continuing speed of the ‘White Hot’ Tasmanian duo.

"We're closer than we were last night to the lead, so we're happy,” said Richards.

"If the weather tomorrow is like today, we won't stand a chance unless they (the Whites) have a problem. We've had a trouble free run today and it's been their (White and Quinn's) problems that have kept us in contention."

Driving a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera, Bill Pye and navigator Grant Geelan still hold the lead in the Shannons Classic Competition. The Victorian duo of Michael Conway and Simon Gardiner still follow closely in a 1977 Ford Escort MK2 RS2000, with Datsun team Graham Copeland and Jon Siddins rounding out the top three.

Two cameraman suffered minor surface injuries when a competition vehicle veered off the Natone stage today during competition. Immediate medical assessment cleared all parties involved of serious injuries, with none requiring any further medical attention.

Four-time Historic winner John Lawson was forced out of top contention today after experiencing extensive clutch problems with his 1926 AC Amilcar on the Colebrook stage.

Tomorrow’s fifth and final leg comprises nine stages, with a competitive distance of 146.37km.

oh and I know targa rules are tight....(having read the supps inside out many many times! ) I was hoping for a more detailed list of mod's completed on that GTR? i.e. what has been done to make it good enough to live for 5 days of targa this year, and not other years (I think from memory it has done bits of the last 3 odd targas?)

so if anyone knows of the bits and peices that have been changed, I would be interested to hear....

[TasR.X]

ahhhhh nephew and uncle actually..... and great job I might add!!! now does someone have a spec list of that weapon!

[Duncan]

well that was a hell of a week

our guys made it home in 38th with a rear suspension problem...they had been running as high as 28 but its just bad luck I guess.

Re the whites car....well SST must have tuned it since a fellow competitor claimed in made close to 800hp....from standard injectors, afm and exhaust?
