Last week was looking at my old RB20 with a tear in my eye... worked out it had dome something like 3,000kms at Wakefield and Eastern Creek. It has 156,000kms on the clock:D

So approx 300laps at Eastern Creek, and around 800 at wakefield... i must be a slow learner:(

Im sure some time spent with someone like Duncan would be worthwhile.

Biggest thing i have noticed is not many ppl heal and toe on down changes. Being able to do so allows you to brake later, settle the car better on turn in, typically meaning you carry more mid corner speed. At the end of the day it doesnt matter how fast you go, as long as you have fun, and you dont punt someone into a wall.

But then again I didn't once get the car sideways or even loose traction

Come on have a go, you dont have to be mad and hook it in 2nd gear, just carry a bit of corner speed and give it a tweak on the exit.:D

...SORRY Jim if the thread got off track a little:)

So how long till you make it out onto the track anyway JimX ? Never even seen you at a cruise *nudge tonights northside cruise...*

(he's probably at home playing V8 Supercars on PS2 to gain knowledge of the track :D)

I was giving it a heap on the track, but when your brake pedal is lower than your throttle you know your in twubble :)

I have to say that it will be a long time before I will be able to make it to the track. Not till next year at the earliest. I have the following bills coming up:

2x rear tyres @$620

2x front tyres @$560

2x front discs @$600 (?) :D

Really there's only 2 tricks to quick laps in whatever you've got

1) get plenty of advice, *everyone* has a different opinion on lines. try them all and see what works best for you

2) practice! I'm certainly no schumaker, but its just practice that reduced my lap times, I've gone from 2.05 at EC to 1.55 and 1.20 at WP to 1.11 with the same car (no mods, just tyres)

I don't believe for a second that there is some mod I could do to the car to reduce lap times by 10sec! You've got to make the most of what the car has to offer first....

      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?
