Looks like a nice pick up. Glad to see even though you went to the darkside, you picked the right car :P

Yeah, it's always annoyed me that Toyota don't make an affordable small-midsized RWD car.

The last small car was the AE86 and we all know the stigma attached to those cars, plus for a basic mid 80's car they are sickeningly over priced. After that the next step is an IS200 which isn't cheap and the aussie ones have junk engines. Toyota also don't do any RWD 4cyl turbo engines either so you have to convert stuff to get what you want. Bloody bean counters....

It's a shame really, as I think Toyota would have done a good job at it, but they let that segment of the market go.

Oh well, I'm glad that Nissan didn't! I think I'll always have a hankering for an AE86 though...

Yes, it has a mildly worked Clevo in it, the whole drive train (except diff) come out of our old XD Ute we used to race.

It hasn't been out of 'the box' for too long, so there is still some fine tuing to do, but it is doing 1:45's at Winton.

Still pretty much a basic Falcon underneath, just beefed up suspension - thanks to my good friends at Pedders in Bendigo, brakes are slotted rotors (standard size and standard callipers), with Bendix Ultimate pads.

One of my favourite pictures. The guys at RPM Photography were in the right spot with the finger on the button for this one lol. Kudos to them for this, as it's by far the shot of the year at QR for me.

great shot! but coming second whats going on! ?? haha

:P Smarty... I had wastegate problems so I missed race 1 and had to start from the back in race 2.

I could ask why it is that you only just managed to get under 60sec on the Clubman yesterday at QR too :O

i have a plethora of excuses !! which one would you like to hear! lol

i thought youd like that!:no:

Well, I think maybe it's age catching up?

Semi-slick 285 hoosiers leave nice lines hey lol

is that r33racer in front?

It's his father driving it actually. Michael didn't drive it much last year.

Thats an interesting shot, where was it taken?

It was at the old Morwell Hillclimb circuit here in Vic. It's closed down now, but was a lot of fun. It's just a pity you couldn't get any heat into the tyres before a run.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
