Provided a mate doesn't have his b'day that wkend I should be there.

How's the season been for the Celica so far? & what happened to race 4 at Sandown last month?

Yeh the season has been going good and bad.......

We've rebuilt the engine, turbo and diff! Gearbox to go........ :laughing-smiley-014:

Yeh race 4 at Sandown we didn't start, we blew the diff on the last lap of race 3 and limped it over the line!

Tony blew his PPG box in race 4 also, so we were on the trailor early and ready for a drive back to SA!

We've had quite a few things we've needed to iron out over this year, as it's a build up from scratch! We've run Karts for 5+ years and was now the time to build the car. She should be alot better this round as we have now taken out the bump stops(dickheads for not remembering) put the flares on and widen the track by 20mm a corner. We still need to put a boot spoiler on as going thru the kink out the back of Mallala at 200+kmh in a 80's Celica can be a bit scetchy.

Mate I can't remember of hand what it was last round, but it could be $10, I'd say worst case $20!

Nick, sounds like a plan mate, I wouldn't give up a interstate trip tho, thats for sure!

I'm slowly getting more involved with the Intermarque boys both the series and a few of the teams. However the bank balance doesn't help with all the rounds on the Eastern Seaboard. So more than likely out at Mallala instead :D and :)

Yeh tell me about it, I help out 2 mates, 1 in IPRA at a state level + interstate once a year! and my other mate runs a Saloon Car at national level, so that sees me heading east for those rounds, ALOT of fun the old race weekends! Havn't seen much of the AMRS rounds as the Saloons are following The Nationals series!

ok, the salons are always a good series to be involved with, most of the guys are great. Thankfully my mates run a few Porsches between them so there is always work to be done, and when they aren't racing they are the ones running the series so they have said they would like some help to do paperwork, tyre allocation ect. But as you would know time and money aren't the easiest things to arrange. Especially money -- i have had my car for nearly 3 years now and its still stock :D !!!!

Winton should be a good weekend for us at the IM series. 1 hour race a heap of competitors lined up. Including Teddys 360NGT, John's Aston martin, Ac Cobras, the Maserati Grandsports and the usual gaggle of Porsches. Hoping to have a 34GTR and a few Vipers up fighting with the Euro stuff aswell.

Nah his name is Chris - he is a friend of the family that travels around with the crew and works on the cars. Nick is now running BRM, he should be driving the F3000 as well as Samantha Reeds parents have lodged a complaint that he drove it at an earlier test day and isn't competing in the State series.

Ahhh ok then, Can't say i know Chris, I only know Nick, Mark, Neame, Wombat pretty well as we raced Karts with them.

So what Nick doesn't run under Tom Walkinshaw(spelling) anymore? or is that just for the National rounds?? And State rounds will be BRM??

Did you hear Nick got to drive Tanders V8 around Phillip Island the bastard!! I think he might head to F3 next year and be apart of the Tandersport crew! well that was the latest i heard!

Yeh Sam Reed is ok, Good to see some half decent looking birds out there in a race suit........lol

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
