easter 2006, you over filled your trans fluid, remember when the offical pulled you and me out of the line. you had a big pool of fluid under your car in the stagging lanes and your crew guy at the time said oops, over filled the transmission.

Nah its not ringing any bells but my memory is pretty crap lately.

Adrian are you putting slick on now or sticking with the radials?

i looked at taking the power steering off to save weight but honeslty after driving through lee's trans fluid a couple of easters ago and getting very sideways at half track, i wouldnt have like dto try and keep it off the walls without the power steering.

just find another 20hp to compensate

No danger of losing the power steering - Stuart is just a very angry man when he gets in a weight reduction type of mood. :D

Lee, radials for Sport Compact and some little slicks for the rest of the time. Slicks aren't a priority for me at the moment though.

Does weight do that much of a difference? Should I be ripping out the original fuel tank and other little things in the hopes of getting the car lighter?

I keep trying to start a diet to lose 20kgs from the drivers seat but probably easier to get it from the car...

I'll be cheering for you to take over in SRWD to give shane a run for his money... :(

Weight makes a massive difference but remember that in some classes, as with SRWD, we have minimum weights to meet. Shane and I don't have that problem because we drive tanks that only have to go 3250lbs (3100 + 150 penalty for non-OEM box) which they seem to do easy enough.

I'll just be happy to be back out there racing again and hopefully a little closer to the pointy end of the qualifying order than my normal 4th - 8th position.

the weight penalty for the trans is only in the ANDRA book, not in rays. when they merge next year there will be no weight penalty for the trans. that comes from both the box and sharpies mouth. :D

Well you just made my f**kin' day! 3120lbs here I come! Stuie, get the spanners out! :(

Stu is just sticking to his name.........doesn't want to lose the Bezerkly identity.

He's also making you a nice free flowing exhaust for the big arse turbo - he's taking a screwdriver to it!

That's okay. I don't delude myself that it's much of a street car any more. Sure it's registered but it doesn't see the street very much. The exhaust can be as screw-drivered as Stu wants :bunny:

I heard from a liitle birdie that yhe machine work will be started on your engine this week.

How terrible do nitrided crankshafts look? Like it's been sprayed with pressure pack primer....poorly!
Looks pretty big....what is it 8L?

You could give me the whole engine....that would save you 200kgs at least >_< I mean only if you really wanna save some weight. :P

8.5L. 200kg you reckon? It'd be fairly quick then!!

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
