All,

Its time to decide who is the best driver in town. Its a level playing field, same car, same day, same track!

Discussion's last night with John from UAS has provided us with a unique opportunity to test our driving skills. John has a spare car that we can track on Thursday 19th Oct OP GP L2S day. We will all get 3 laps in the car, which is equipped with timing equip. Who ever is the quickest will win the prize, and the respect of the track day warriors!

Ok the car.

Its a 1991 corsair 2.4lt manual 5 speed front wheel drive. The car is registered but has a little front end damage, but still drives ok.

The cost will be $50 for a seat in this ultimate track car! All costs covered, fuel, brakes, clutch, tyres everything.

Our goal is to not kill the car, as anyone who cook's the clutch, brakes, gearbox or engine will automatically be disqualified and be shamed off the SAU. Anyone who is silly enough to crash the car must work off the dept to UAS by working a weekend, getting coffees and cleaning UAS's workshop or repairing the damaged car if repairable.

We cannot drive it like we stole it, the longer the car lasts, the more laps we get and the more chances you have in clocking off the best lap time and winning the 1st place prize.

Depending on the number of entries first prize will be anything from a bottle of Motul 300V, to an oil change and if we get enough players a full service for your car.

John is eligible to drive since he is putting up the vehicle.

Im obviously in.

Abo Bob is in as well.

Steve (WRX) is in as well.

Ok let me know if ready to take the driving challenge and work out who is the best driver.

Note: You will need an L2S licence for the day and be attending the OP private practice on the 19th Oct $110.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
