after 3 years of trying we finally won this bloody series in the Road 8 class!

The series was tied in points before the last round, but we now have an unbeatable points tally with one round to go due to the GT40 being a no show on the weekend. a little disappointing to win it that way, not sure what the problem is with the GT for it not to turn up.

our car was 4th fastest car on track out of 120 cars for the day.

big thanks to John from Import Bits who helped me out with some racing slicks for the day :rofl:

Well firstly, well done. Winning anything (A race, a round) is hard enough these days. A series is very good work.

Just out of interest whose is the GT40?

a guy by the name of Paul Gillis, nice bloke.

sorry for the late reply.

every day the car runs 366 RWKW @ 23 psi. we only managed the 437 RWKW once @ 26 psi. the car wont hold over 23 psi now, we think the internal wastegates dont seal properly, we cant find any other reason for it.

at Phillip Island we did a best time of 1 min 55 something, but with more time (and guts) would think I could have gone a couple of seconds quicker.

I saw the power figure in your sig. 57.3 is a hot time for a rwd. specially a heavy one like the Z32. well done!

I imagine PI would be a pretty daunting place first time there. we don't have anything like it up here to prepare you for those high speed corners.

Phillip Island is just the ducks nuts! if I could race there every month I would. if you ever get a chance to run there, DO IT!

Congrats guys, top effort!!

I've only ever run PI on a bike (high 1:40's) & it really is a track that everyone should go & drive/ride at least once. Nothing like 2-wheel drifting into Turn 1 at 190+ with everything on the deck & shooting sparks off the stainless exhaust, if it wasn't for the cold winters & Gestapo down there I'd consider moving back.

Funnily enough, even after hearing all the comments & watching race footage etc I never once noticed the ocean views whilst screaming down the front straight. Something to do with "tunnel vision" they tell me.......... :blink:

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
