Awesome, thanks for taking the time to share your story :rofl:

I think it truely shows whats needed to get a GTR into the 9/10 sec braket, and how its definately not easy or cheap!

So when are you bringing your ontourage of high powered GTRs to brisbane :rofl:

Wow, this is an old thread. I cant believe it has taken so long & it's still not ready.

The age old saga of "while it's apart - lets do this & this" has taken over & caused the current build to drag out to long (no pun intended!)

The GTR has been in hibernation at Tilbrooks for too long. The new engine is built, with dry sump, mechanical fuel pump, 12x 1600cc injectors & TA45 turbo on custom manifold.

Eveything is there, just need to fit water pump, wire up injectors, fit & paint new custom bar, & tidy up a few things - but generally, it is mostly done.

The main hold up has been all the breakages on my street GTR - but the latest (& hopefully final) engine build is in, along with a 6 speed sequential OS gearbox & I have been promised I can pick up the car this week.

After that is finalised, the last remaining jobs will be done on the race car. I still have to get some new wheels for it(looking at 16" Racing Hart wheels with ET street tyres) & would love to get the exterior painted to match the R34 blue interior, but due to funds I may have to wait till next year to finish the detail parts of the project.

As far as time cards go - the race car ones dont count as the 9.45 I ran was using Elf turbomax fuel. The 12.1 from the R34 was given to Ben Ellis/Martin Donnon & I didnt get it back - check with those guys if you dont believe the time.

When the new setup in the street GTR is run in & sorted, I will be racing it, & if it pulls a good time I will certainly provide proof of the run so it can be listed on this forum.

In the meantime, keep up all the good work you guys & keep cruisin.

PS. I was in Gold Coast the other day & caught up with Theo Wollet for a cruise around the broadwater car park on Sat night.Great to see so many Skylines there. Definately looking forward to racing up there & bringing my street car for some cruising Qld style.

Cheers,

Mate, that only matters for the HPI list - NOT for the timeslip registry in the 'Motorsport' section of this forum.

Not that we don't believe it, John. Just that the rules are the same for everyone. I think I know which timeslip we want on the registry :P

My car still lives!!! But not as a drag GTR anymore - if AIR ever got their act together it would have been great.

Anyway, after all these years we have detuned the GTR & turned it back into a more useable circuit car & will be making

its debut at time attack shortly. I have been having fun in my other street R33 all this time, but cant wait to get out

to Mallala & try my hand at circuit instead.

No, I am happy to drag it again if AIR opens up.

Too much time/hassle to race interstate so will just stick to circuit

& have some fun till then.

Did 1 min 16.4 on our first outing to Mallala but had fuel pressure issues with pump

that was designed for drag so had to trailer it. I suppose a new set up always

takes time to sort out & I am going to have great fun trying to tame this GTR on the track.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
