congrats to Beau today who made it through to the top 12 in Driftstate at QR today.

He qualified in 17th position out of 24, then won his first battle after a re-run. Then in his second battle, he drove the car out of sight, but the other car simply had more power and Beau couldnt keep up.

However I was very happy with the way he drove and once we get a chance to put a big power motor in the drift car, I am confident that Beau will do really well in future events.

Had the QLD r2 State championship on sunday , first time driving it with it's new setup turbo , it was a shame I had to take off my tower brace to fit it on as the front seemed to wash out a little coming out of a turn , and I have lost my 2nd gear sycros .

So had practice from 10 , got about 3 laps in and found I was lossing power , opened the hood and found out I had melted a cooler pipe as it was too close to the manifold , so had to rush around to the supercheap to buy and then fit a new one , and also make a section of heat shield to make sure it does not happen again .

Then came qualifiying , I had one more practice lap to check the setup which felt good , so I lined up for my first qualifying lap , started out great but I missed 3rd going into the dipper and went into 5th , but managed to recover and get through without to much trouble. My second qualifying went well besides a little bit of dirt turbo .

Ended up qualifying in 17th and had my first battle up against the TOKAGE soarer driven by Josh Botcher , a well proven driver who normaly drives his FC rx7 , but due to brakege was picked to drive for the TOKAGE company.

First lap I was chasing , and I managed to stick very close but at the cost of losing angle a few times , lead lap I hit the dirt once which was being judged very harshly , so it went to a re- run where as the Soarer spun both times due to a bad tyre , so I was through to top 16.

Next battle was against my very good friend Eugene in the Federal/Mercury 180sx , a seasoned DA competitor in a 400rwhp 2.2 tomei 970kg fully built drift rig. First lap I was chasing and lets just say he pulled away with his foot to the floor , and on my lead lap he followed very well , so I was knocked out , but was told by many people that it was a very close battle considering the power difference. I was told later that with my score against Euge that I made 12th place

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
