Hey

A few of us are heading up to Winton for drift this sat. Anyone else interested?

We'll be heading up in the morning.

It's an open day so you don't need to be a member. There is a beginner section as well.

Hey Dean.

It's all in that link. $130 for members. $140 for non-members.

$15 entry at the gate for everybody. Part of the gate entry is going to bushfire victims appeal I believe.

$50 for AASA licence if you don't already have one.

It was an awesome day.

Russman your car has some serious speed, what kind of turbo setup do you have?

I was having a few grip issues, as in too much of it, with brand new federals on a stinking hot day with a stock 20. Haha.

Yeah I had the same problem. I tried running some 255's but they were just too grippy and I didn't have enough power to hold a slide. I ran some falkens at the end of the day and they were fantastic. I reckon some more power would help linking all the corners together. I had heaps of fun.

I have a HKS 25-30 at about 14-15psi. About 200 atw's. Are you coming to DECA next sat Tim?

I broke my car :thumbsup: ... Was T-boned earlier in the day hence the caved in door then we think that may have caused the hub spacer to crack and after a bit more drifting allowed it to fall apart and have the wheel come off. Airborn twice in a matter of seconds is certainly and interesting experience :laugh: :laugh:

Russell, dude you've improved ten fold! I loved watching you in my rear view mirror on several occasions :)

Yeah I know what you mean, I had new 235's, on my 9" rims, and after entering the esses in 3rd at about 110 and holding it flat I just couldn't carry the drift to the next transition, it would just bog down and grip up. :laugh:

I would love to make the trip up. But I have a mates wedding on Saturday. I've never been to a DECA event before but it’s definitely something that I would love to get into. Being on apprentice wages though, I’m a bit light on in the pocket after Winton, It's almost good that they're two months apart so I can save up for the next one :thumbsup:

On a side not, how did your temps go on the day? I only got to have a quick look at your car and from what I remember you were running a gtr cooler, no condenser, and what looked to be a factory Nissan radiator? Whether or not it was a rb26 item or similar I can't remember.

Wow. Hub bolts... you're talking me out of spacers too! haha.

Nice work Kel. You were going hard at it all day. Good to see. Consistency is what I need though.

Yeah Tim. I have a PWR intercooler that I just put in last week. Air con condenser is gone and standard radiator (I heard GTR and GTSt radiators are the same). Vented bonnnet too. I got up to about 102deg on a few occations before I went for cool down laps. My car has seen 110 before and didn't really bother it too much although it's not a good idea. I'm going for a oil cooler setup soon and then thermo fans if I need it. What were your temps like?

Were you with a bunch or guys with 32's? There was a garage that had like 4 really cool looking 32's.

Thanks Russ! My car's chassis is stuffed so we need to build a new shell in 6 weeks :blink: and that included painting it.. Oh the joys of being a drifter..

Was is stuffed from this weekend?

yep.. we think when i got hit that it damaged the wheel studs and spacers and because i kept drifting on it, when the wheel came off i landed really hard on and bounced off the ripple strip and it twisted the chassis...

hey russell i was the guy with pae that came with leigh next to u in the shed, you were doing well out there man, i love ur 32 you have inspired me for mine now.

Thanks man. Would be good to see you hit the track too!

Since my last track day when i was having a bit of trouble with my temps I thought I would sought them out by doing it once and doing it properly sort of thing. So I got koyo rad, a GTR bonnet and grill, plus i spaced it at the back, and my water was still seeing 110! I have a hks oil cooler setup as well and my oil was reaching 110 also. I think i have to make up some proper ducting for the oil cooler and maybe run some thicker oil, was running 5w-40 and sort something out with my water temps. The factory fan on front of the condenser had a blown fuse so that wasn't coming in (comes in at 90) which wouldn't of helped but there's definitely some else going on there...

Have you changed the thermostat? Since everything to do with cooling seems good there must be some form of blockage or restriction. I'm running 5W-50 or something like that so shouldn't be that? BTW my car would have hit 110deg if I kept on going. I needed to do a cool down lap about every 4-5 drifting laps.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
