Well, a new season is finally here. My first race this year is at the Wakefield 500 on 15 March.

This is a 6 hour endurance race, myself, Mark Hawkins (HAW001) and another Daewoo racer, Tom Browell (winner of last year's GP celebrity race) will be running as a team. Approx 16 Daewoos and 30 MG-Fs will be racing.

I can't organise tickets to this one, but I think entry may be free for the day anyway.

More info here: http://www.moproaustralia.com.au/special%2...ents/frmain.htm

We are also looking for the following, and would love to hear from anyone who can help out:

* In car camera for rent

* Helmet radio system x3 for rent

* Pit crew volunteers - mostly for tyre changing and timing/comms

* FWD race car available for rent on Sat 8/3.

* Pit girls in cat suits with colourful umbrellas.

I could double for a pit crew tyre changer too .....

As for FWD car - just use your Skyline in reverse - still would beat them all !!!

Hi All,

Sorry its been so long since an update.

Everythings still on track for next Sat, we're doing the final planning on Tue night and heading down to wakefield on Thursday afternoon for practice on Friday.

We're still after assistance with tyres, comms and lap counting, so if the offer is still there (brendanf, Silver-Arrowz, fatz, ndr), we'll gladly accept your offer.....no catsuits thought thanks!

Please post if you're still available, we'd be looking for you to be at Wakefield by 9am on Sat, the race will finish about 5pm. We have 2 spots left for accomodation either night, so let us know if you're interested in that too.

Oh, and I did end up using the skyline in reverse yesterday...biggest spin ever! Luckily we also had a suzuki to spin into the kitty litter as well....

Oh, and anyone got a small generator?

Hi Guys,

Quick update- we qualified for the Top 10 shoot out and will start the race 5th on the grid (even with an engine problem).

Hope to see some of you bright and early tomorrow.

Should be lots of fun.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
