top work snowy!!

good driving and a good car, !!

good to see you have gone back to the early model parts ! go the 32's!!!!!!!!!! (in your case 33's) ;)

cheers russ

Haha - yeah except I put in parts that you took out! Go figure! :)

You guys going to be looking at running in any of the Dutton events again Russ? Maybe in the new R34 or something?

It was never going to win but it was in the top 15 at the circtuit sprints which i am pretty happy with. Given circumstances being a little different, (held up behind a F430 at Winton and me being under the weather at Sandown) it may have snuck into the Top10. Not bad for a little GTSt running std RB20 and gearbox and the class of Porsches, Evos and GTRs in the field.

yeah baby. finaly a real car in amongst these shirt lifters...

well except for mark and russ. I think they win the 'coolest toys' thread hands down. bastards.

hey roy

your machine looks tops and drivin it hard too , in the vid i saw!! top stuff

snowy , we will try and do nsw and qld (if not qld, depending if car is back from japan then , vic maybe??)next year in the 32 if possible, i really wanted to come down to vic with you guys and get into it, bloody looked like a blast and good racing.

hopefully catch up soon cheers russ

The R32 will be too fast - bring something slower so we still have a chance :blink:

Actually we might try and get upto NSW next year too - hasn't been fully discussed yet but mostly to have a crack at your title. :)

HA! i knew it, its the nissan throttle body thats making the toyota so fast!

Its actually sporting holden parts( front rotors), ford parts (front brake hats) and the nissan parts (throttle body) lol. In fact after tomorrow it'll be sporting even more holden parts in the form of Adventra flares front and rear :thumbsup:

Its the colour that makes it fast anyway. Everybody knows pink cars rock....

Take ya pink bits and pissorf John, We dont want no stinkin yotas round here. :thumbsup::down:

the fuel system in my "racing machine" is getting there, thought u guys might be mildly interested in these pics seeing as i wouldnt do this to a street only car :D

also relocated the battery, also no voltage loss to the pumps now :wave:

hahahah yes it is, ive gotten rid of a bit of other weight so i dont mind keeping it there, i figure it helps with the weight balance a little :rofl:

Also my "racing machine" hasnt actually hit the track yet so its a good thing to have on the street, now i just need to get the rest of the tools in to actually be able to change a wheel should i get a flat. Buggered if i can find them tho, time to hit the wreckers :wacko:

im going to paint the space saver black on saturday, sick of the yellowness

This thread has spurred me to get my old car painted up for the upcoming series in Oct.

what do you think of the concept design i have had done for the old girl. Not to sure about flames though

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • 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. 
    • 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
    • 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 
    • 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)
