He's still actually looking for a co-driver :(

Most of us need 4wd and tricky electronics to hide our inadequacies as drivers so Bris is having trouble finding someone with enough natural talent to pilot the R32 Supercar with him.

Which is surprising given the only real pre-requisite he has is - Must Love Gate

Yes...must love the gate and be more interested in stirring sh1t and enjoying a drink then winning the thing. With the diff fixed the car will esily win its class (based on last yeasr speed and competitiveness) .

Last years co-driver served me well, but i have decided its up to me to publically can him and say i sacked him rather then he left me for something better :(

I wish to watch the rally (NSW) and would like a program of the events, anyone got any info?

I know they are going to Wakefield, Sutton forest, Fairburn but then back up to Sydney for eastern creek, Sydney international drags. Anyone got more specific information would be greatly appreciated

Troy is right - his 2006 co-driver was a slow, cone killing hack (albeit a famous one - see about 6'30" in this video -

) who feels much more at home with electronic and hydraulic jiggerypokery doing the driving for him. A 2007 contender needs to be worthy of the Bullet, and not scared and confused when told the front wheels aren't actually driven.

Anyhoo - are any of the NSW SAU Team entering the NSW round in 2-weeks?

I'll be there in the slowest, yet coolest car in the field.

Come and cheer for me :laugh:

I am acutally seriously considering the perth event this year. Went to the launch party and was a very good night over here. I am a bit worried about the s15 6 speed box, 300+hp and twin plate clutch.....

Your so full of sh1t. You are a good driver plenty capable of beating me and most others....its just that a combination of lack of seat time and no belief in a car spannered by me and the swag of merry SAUers who helped piece Humpty Dumpty back together. Well you psyched yourself out and didnt want to break something i had worked so hard to get ready. I love you for it and appreciate that you didnt want to hurt it...that said. FARK YOU!!! You abandoned me and Team 32...so, thinking Rowdy woudl make an awesone co-driver who would no doubt beat me :) Plus Marlin has put his hand up which icould be so much fun! :glare:

I'm doing the W.A. round this year. The schedule sounds really good. I'm coming over at the start of July for a practise run down at Collie and Barbagallo just to get familiar with the place. I did a half day at AHG earlier this year and that's a great set-up for sure.

The thing about these type of events is they aren't as bad on drivelines as everyone thinks mostly because the surfaces you do most of your starts from don't have the grip to put huge strains through them. The only place you're really likely to hurt it is at Kwinana. So if you take that easy you should be right.

But if you want to speak to a few more of us beforehand I know a few guys will be at the Collie track day on July 1st.

Ahh excellent. I will try and get down there for a look on July. I am just going there for fun anyway. My experience is limited to a few MC track days. Its more for the increased experience too in motorsports.

the organisers are crack ups too.

It doesnt look like a Targa west or Targa tasmania style racing though. It looks very interesting and quite enjoyable for the newbies of racing.

come around for a beer when you guys hit town. Should be able to help you with contacts and stuff for people over here if you need it.

I'm actually competing with a Perth local (Blaise Paris in an EVO 8MR). Not sure if you know him but if you go to any of the AHG sprint series events he'll be there. I'll be using his car for all my W.A. stuff with him.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
