Be involved in a real race team! Pit crew volunteers needed!


Recommended Posts

Actually, it was a great race, after a slick pitstop I came out second, but then about 10 min later I had a long off-road excursion when a commonwhore pulled out of the pits into my racing line.

When I got back on track I was in 6th, which I held until about 5min from the end of the race - when the gearbox mounting snapped causing the engine to fall out ;)

Still it was a great weekend of racing!

so were you 46 or 47 ? was there but didn't get a chance to see much of the daewoo race, bit harsh that you guys had a combined race!

you've got the purple S2 i guess, i only saw 1 other skyline there it was a black R32! like the wheels, and TYRES!! how long do they last you normally?

i had a shocker of a day, was leaving in the after noon and a person with a trailor drove past my car and caugh the door (it was open) pulling it way past were it opens, destroying the front guard and door, as well as needing the chasis straightened near the hinges etc! atleast i had it after the respray for 2 days. not happy jan.

did you finish the race, or did you have to retire?

door= suxors :(

Nah, I had to retire and watch the ending from the pits. I was in 47, but actually 46 also broke engine mountings (much earlier, about 15 min into the race) we were the only 2 daewoos which retired which was a pretty good finishing ratio.

The race was a bit of a nightmare with the other cars, I mean a bit of traffic was OK, but we had these slow cornering commodores, falcons, gtrs etc all the time. I only got hit by one, but a few other 'woo drivers were less lucky :P In fact it was an idiot in a commodore pulling out of the pits right in front of me and then cornering way too slowly that lead to me off-road excursion....

Yeah, the blue 33 was mine, and the cheater tyres don't normally live on there but I'm too lavy to take em off sicne we're going back to Eastern Creek next Thur lol.

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
