Its looking like the trusty ol' GTR isnt going to be up for it this time round... :P

so im thinking of offering my services as a driver trainer, ive not had any "full on" competition experience, but ive been frequently attending track days for a few years now and i think i would have a fair bit to offer for anyone starting out.

i know at the last day they were putting out the call for anyone who wants to help out with DT, so here i am.

can anyone advise me as to what i should do?

cheers. :yes:

not up to it? :D

Faxed and paid, GT-R is actually running right for the first time in a while, no misfires, no boost drop off and fresh front brake discs, might actually get a decent Sandown run, touch wood. Now to pray for no rain....

how are the spots looking? got a new clutch going in next thursday, plus a few other things being looked over. Just not game enough to pay up yet just in case any gremlins pop-up when fixing the car.

yeah its no good sam,

i cant afford semi slicks at the moment, and i just cant run on the streeters any more. You saw how munted they were after just the one session i got in last time, blisters galore! now the suspension and wheel alignment is bangin', the poor old federal's just cant keep up! :D

hopefully next time, im still keen to hit winton with ya one day! :D

- so does anyone have any suggestions about this driver training?

Absolutely no idea - that'll be the Rex Club's call

Just to note though - if anyone is considering entering and hasnt done so yet, Id get your entries in ASAP to give the WRX Club a better idea of numbers for the day or they may very well cancel it

Im assuming there are lots of people holding off till the last minute for whatever reason :(

I am very keen on entering, however just waiting for the car to come out of the workshop, getting tuned in the next few days so everything should be good to go I hope.

I guess I can always enter then cancel/get a refund if its not ready?

from the wrx forum

"I am confident the event will go ahead regardless so we wont need to refund!!

If for some reason any of our events are cancelled then there would be a complete refund yes.

Cheers"

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
