Chris,,,your as bad as Duncan,,,he wants me out again this weekend but I'm happy just to go over the car and get it ready for this years racing. Can't wait for the SAU day though. I did give it a run before christmas (Santa said I could)so that will do till late February.

Baron Baby,,,It won't be as quick in a straight line as the rotor infact I fully expect modded gtr's to be gobbling me up. But under brakes and the corner grip of this car is unbeleivable,,,like nothing I have ever experienced. Coupled with a straight cut gear box and sequential shifter it will be very quick, just hope I am. Oh and as an added bonus it has a flat shift kit fitted. I'm keeping the sports sedan and will build it as time permits. I love that car.

Ben,,,funny you say that,,,I work with a bunch of bike nuts and yes S & R is on my "to speak to list". Bonneville Salt Flats ROFLMAO.

Nick,,,Yes I am planning to race it. I'm going to do all the NSW supersprints and some NSW hillclimbs but the problem with some of them is the car is so low I'll break the front splitter. I will be doing some interstate track days as well. I want to do Phillip Island/Calder/Sandown/Adelaide Raceway/Simmons Plains and maybe Queensland raceway as well.

I'm chasing another motor at the moment,,,so I can build my own. That was always the problem with the rotor but now I can play with what I know best. Bring on the slipper clutch.

Neil,

no chance a gtr will catch you, well no road going car at least ( giant excepted ) I have driven these beasties here and a good SR3 are a good 8 to 10 seconds faster while the SR8 is another 5 seconds further down the road.

My mate here has the lastest carbon fibre SR3 and its a pure weapon.

Jason you beautiful hunk of manhood. Long time buddy,,,hows it hangin. :P:D:D

I'll pass on you breaking my girl. :D:):nyaanyaa:

Our 89 GTR Tarmac Rally spec, the last event was the illfated Mt Buller Nov 07 where we finished 11th outright, also got a 3rd outright at Lake Mountain last year and fastest outright stage time. Off to Rally Tas next month.

Interior is fairly spartan but is the whole idea. Car came like this, ready for track.

This is the new engine we've had built for it - Scat rods, Arias pistons, high volume sump, bigger oil galleries, shaved deck height, ported head, bigger valves, balanced crank etc built by PLR, good for 9,500rpm. $10k.

Should do well in its class. Its just for top gear meets and hillclimbs plus random track days etc.

Looking for a stagea for a tow car!

Look forward to seeing you guys out there!

Headedto the Top Gear practice session on the 6th feb, racing on the 15th i believe.

jorg - well done. how did you enjoy those events? they seemed a bit pricey to me for the numbers of runs you get. What mods does the car have?

stagecoach - you've done things the smart way. All the time and money goes into prepping the car, buying someone else's car is a great way to save money. Just need to go over everything carefully and make sure they've done it all properly.

You just gotta love this thread,,,so many great looking racecars.

Stagecoach very nice ride there buddy. Pulsars are so cool. Thats the sort of car I've been trying to get Mrs Handley's bum for ages. Kel are you looking????.

Jorg nice work there buddy,,,great pics and they have been added to my slideshow at work. That poor sucker must have been a bit hot under the collar after that pass,,,he's got the roof vent open,,,poor bastard.

Steveo,,,get your bloody car sorted or I'll start calling you the TROLL. You remember the little scarey animal that hides under the bridge waiting to jump out and oh never mind just fix the bloody GTR.

Chris,,,It's all good mate,,,Radicals are the best thing to come out of pommy land since the Spitfire. Mines an older 02 with 06 upgrades so it's chain driven. Theres a lot of "HAHA" street GTR's around that are bloody quick,,,GTR Jason is one. I'll keep them in check just hope everbody sees me,,,this car as you know is very low.

THanks for the comments guys!!

Yeah pretty happy with the car. Picked it up for a very good price and it has all checked out okay. My neigbour is a motor mechanic and weve gone over it with a fine tooth comb.

Going for a Top Gear meet soon, should be interesting. Interesting to see what the limits of the car are, used to have a 92 SSS as a daily up til a couple of years ago. Will be an interesting comparison.

I can appreciate that a lot of the work is done, but the downside of that is that i lose the knowledge and learning process that is the trial and error of setting up a car. Meaning that it will take a while to see what adjustments to camber/caster/toe/spring rates etc etc as well as tuning and such will bring to the cars handling.

Going to be a long process so if you see me out there just cruise around me haha

BTW screamin' (right back from p1), I was looking through your thread on "some other forum" the other day - good work there, lots of effort has gone into the lightening and prep.

How have the alloy doors lasted? any troubles with them or anything you would do different? Did you just change the skins or internals as well?

interesting pic of the non-chain one tacker, the rear end is quite different, it even has the same wierd way bar setup as the front. the earlier cars had a traditional style sway bar

BTW stagecoach - stagea has been a brilliant and comfortable tow car, even lugging a GTR around. And the 4wd can really help on any sort of marginal surface even wet grass etc.

Only problem is the fuel consumption is apalling, even with new 02 sensors, tune, manual etc etc etc So if you are doing long tows you may have to look for something else

I saw that you had a stagea, was wondering if it was your tow car.

Im looking to get rid of the mazda and pick up a stagea (black S2 5sp) as not just a tow car but for my daily as well. Maybe a few long tows. But i have a bike to zip around on from day to day so it cancels out!

      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?
