Saw Geoff beale or beable or something, at our last sauvic meeting, his 34N1 was breath-taking. Full roll cage, quick realease steering wheel the whole nine yards. They are still stock though because of targa rules and whatnot, still amazing cars to see in real life. oh and to hear it driving through the burnley tunnel was amazing!

Big congrats to the whites, been following them ever since they entered their mad 300zx

Only modes your allowed in the modern section of Targa is

Breaks (what ever you can fit under your wheels)

Engine ECU

-45kg (but can't remove rear seats unless they have to go to fit a roll cage)

zorst (but it can't be any bigger, just high flow cat, mufler) and that's it

more boost (standard fridge)

I havent seen the footage yet, but I have a fair idea it was the car we built/prep. Was it car 828 - Doug Walker/David Watkin? White 32 with Jet-tech, AD Engineering and Hyperdrive Signage on it?

Shit - I hope not.

Ah, there's a bit more to it. Engine must be stock. Must run factory air box, cooler and exhaust size, although the latter can be aftermarket, just the same size as oem. No cat etc but it must have some sort of muffler. The management can be changed but only at the main connector. Everything must be as originally homologated - so the evidence first presented by the first guy to ever race a GTR at that level is the spec of the car you must run.

In the case of a 32, the rules even state what size oil cooler is permitted. With the 32, there are a couple of turbo choices too, but no bigger than Nismo 580's or 581's off the top of my head.

As you can imagine, it's damn hard to get power out of them that way. Our one makes 430hp at the wheels. Remember that sheer power isnt the goal, as the engine has to run flat out for several long days of competition.

The only freedoms in the class are saftey related. Brakes, cage etc. You can only strip the interior out if the cage is in the way. Ours runs Massive AP 6's front and 4's rear, that clear the inside of the homologation limited 17x8 inch wheel by no more than a business card. The cage is a full integrated welded in jobbie with bars everywhere.

The White team began the final day in first place and held on to win six minutes clear of Greg Garwood and John Allen in a turbo Porsche 911.

Jim Richards and Barry Oliver in a Porsche GT3 CS were another 13 minutes further back in third place, well ahead of the rest of the field who were more than nine hours behind the winners.

Top Australian golfer Stuart Appleby and co-driver Peter Burrey, driving a Lamborghini Gallardo, finished a creditable 10th.

Obviously they got the rain they were hoping for and Jimmy wasnt :)

They have always been the bridesmaid, so congratulations to them for finaly grabing the big one.

didn't i basicly say that (well that's what a meant anyway)

how much work is it to spec a R32 up to a N1? and can you just replace the ATTESA-ETS with ATTESA - pro to bring it upto a Vpec N1. Cause dad and I are looking to go in it next year.

What happened to gentleman Jim?

RWD porsche + very wet roads (snow) didn't give him much chance of keeping up with the GTR, but he did very well to come 3rd and if it had of been dry on the last two days he probably would have won

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      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.

      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:
