So... the big question is- Who is coming out to race, and who is coming out to watch?

It's on the Sprint circuit this time, and they are 18 lap races.

Anyone brave enough to come play with R33RACER and me?

Anyone? Anyone at all??? AMEC? How about it mate? :whistling:

We will be out fo shizzle.

I posted about this in the qld events section, but it seems that not many people are actually into motorsport these days. Well, atleast real motorsport, ie. circuit racing, i think the general population are more simple minded and enjoy the likes of drag racing or the even more pointless form of drifting.

Its sad.

Yeah, I think maybe after years of self abuse, it just came naturally for them to advance to auto abuse.

Plenty do the QR sprints but racing is a different matter. Firstly competing against big dollar cars, second the perception that your car will likely get run in to and damaged by someone shooting for sheep stations.

Then there is the very popular Morgan Park sprint series, some of which is more interesting to watch than processional racing. And lots of fun to participate in.

And yet plenty of them go drifting, which is a lot harsher on a car, and the probability of body damage is so high its essentially a guarantee... All the circuit guys are careful about shunting another car, because it ruins the day, and we'd rather not be spending money repairing the body. The carnage at 12 months of JDM racing wouldn't even equal one practice night at Archerfield I reckon. Anyway, we're out there for fun and thrills, not carnage and spills so don't let the idea of being run into drive you away. We don't have big dollar sponsors to pick up the tab if the cars written off or damaged. All comes from our own pockets

You give them too much credit. Their idea of motorsport is driving to the spit on a Sunday or going for coffee :)

To answer the question though, I won't be ready this time out. If Russ gets the 34 ready it will be nice having a couple of them out on track next year.

John, that toyo is just...well...stupid. I've seen it before and it is great. I'll try get out Saturday for a look. Unfortunately retirement doesn't provide enough cash to race seriously anymore.

Thanks mate (I think lol)

Unfortunately, I wont be out this weekend except as a spectator. Realised a little too late that the car has a blown headgasket from the last round and I really wasnt in the mood to swap the engine out of the other car into it. I've stripped it all down now to give it a freshen up instead, plus I'll be making some changes to the cooling arrangement. Annoying, but thats cars for you I guess.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
