Hey,

The 3rd episode was on Friday nite at 8pm (as it is every week). The show had massive potential, until Ian Luff was made the head honcho because he praises everyone through the event cheering and saying how brilliant their cars are but then smacks them down at the end saying they are pathetic and car can't handle and has too much power yadda yadda.

<cut cut>

Andrew in the 200SX spends more time in the workshop than the track and at best will finish the show in last position.

I actually watched the first episode and parts of it were good but what really confused me was when he was driving around the skidpan and his ratings afterward.

I thought the ratings were handling based because he knocked the big V8's for lack of handling, and even the Ferrari and complimented the Torana because he could control it with the accelerator.

But then he got the 200SX through with a really quick time and pretty good handling, complimented it and got to the review and put it nearly last for that event!

The rating system makes no sense to me, most of the cars are pretty impressive though.

still think luff is a tool. the show was moderately interesting, i'd like to know how people can afford to twin turbo a 360 though!

probably won't bother looking out for it again, it just didn't grab me. the first drag "challenge" was a waste of time, anyone who is still frying tyres at half track isn't taking it seriously.

seems to me like it's just an excuse for luff to indulge himself, and the car owners to get their moment in the spotlight so they can show off and have people stroke their ego.

Ive seen all the episodes.And i must say none of them can drive.They just put their foot to the floor and expect the car to do the rest.6 out of the 7 drivers spun in the motokana.Even with Ians instuctions they still spun.

So they all deserved the caining that Luffy dished out.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
