SO that O'Brien is the same guy that later ran the VLs etc in Evalast colours?

Roy thats right. Bill O'Brien of Everlast Battery Service and later Everlast Automotive Service (entrant)

Born 30.9.42

First race at Bathurst 1977 then

Bathurst:

1979 Falcon GT with Ray Winter

1980 Falcon with Bob Morris

1981 Falcon with Gary Cooke

1982 Falcon with Gary Cooke

1983 Falcon with Brian Sampson

1984 Falcon with Gary Cooke

1985 Mustang with Laurie Nelson

1986 Nissan Skyline with Murray Carter

1987 Commodore VL with Brian Sampson

1988 Commodore VL with Sampson

1989 Commodore VL with Sampson

1990 Commodore VL with Sampson

I'm not sure what his Bathurst history was after 1990. He didn't seem to race in the ATCC for those Bathurst years as far as I can see though I might be wrong. Gricey would have called him a once a year Bathurst road warrior ( or something less flattering) but O'Brien always performed very credibly

By the way what has happened to the Baigent/Bowkett DR30 from Bathurst 1986

Dont forget this weekend. To the best of my knowledge only 1 x R31 will be there, but there will be the Grp A Jag XJS, Tweedie in his Sierra and Vic's own Gavin Strongman making the first track return of the R32 GTR to the track!. There is the JPS M3 in there and John Bowes old Turbo Volvo 240...along with Commodores, Mustangs and the Group C crowd of Toranas :)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
