btw, in some later sections I was getting close to just a slight lift at the kink and flat out under the bridge and over the crest into Hungry. if that doesnt make you feel alive I dont know what will.

Quite a few one end drive road cars go flat out through the kink at over 200kph, R35 should be what 20kph faster. Something to aim for.

Phillip Island 16-06-2013 After a wet start in the morning the day got better. Still very cold, had a lot of trouble getting heat into the tyres. Couple of issues spun the rear yoke in the tail shaft

lakeside today:

59.72 beat my semi-slick PB by just 0.15. Was driving like an old mole out there though. These new tyres have alot more than that in them. 6 months away from a circuit has taken the edge off a bit, and I never really felt comfortable in the car today. Will have to go back again soon to get back up to speed I think.

yeah I have been going through there at 225kph with a dab of the brakes flat out I estimate would be around 235kph or so, on the 3-4 day old slicks it was starting to move around a bit which wasnt a comfortable feeling at that speed.

new slicks and some aero and 245 is the goal!

Got the new Federal FZ201 semi slick. 235/45 & 255/40 R17. Wider rear changed the balance of the car again. I should have learnt by now, but will make some changes before the next Lakeside Open Sprint in a couple of weeks.

I just entered the luxo barge Aristo in the Street Sprints on Sunday, just for laughs. It might go OK - its basically a 4 door Supra, but with a slushbox... I think the biggest challenge will be remaining in the nice comfy leather seat.

now for some sounds of silence... my daily driver Aristo at Lakeside.

WARNING: this footage may distress some viewers. Particularly Evo owners

Session 2: chasing 6spd TT Supra and passing Evo 10

Session 3: chasing Porsche and Evo 7-9 (all look the same to me)

Stock boost, run turbos in parellel instead of sequential, factory option Bilstein suspension, stock brakes - need new front rotors now. Warped them in the 1st session and you can see the vibration through the car under brakes! Has trans cooler and FMIC. Compliance cat, 3" mid pipe to twin 2.5" and stock rear mufflers. 62.6 best lap. vMax 193.4kph thanks to the HKS SLD :)

hehe, got a bit excited...

bolted the wheels from the 180SX on, so it was on the Federal FZ201's.

The thing actaully handled very well with similar cornering speeds and the same lateral G as the 180SX. Would be alot easier to drive it that hard with a decent seat though.

The way the Aristo rode the bumps I'm thinking about softening the 180SX up a bit... again...

How did the auto handle the day Harry?

Ive always been wary of taking the Soarer out to the track because of that

Actually how did the car pull up?

As you probably know the Soarer and Aristo/Supra are basically the same, just the motors and number of doors differ

I've got a big transmission cooler on it. Just the largest Davies Craig one from Supercheap. They're about $130 and take half an hour to install. Temps on the IN hose were just under 70deg and OUT hose was under 50deg after each run. The auto never made any complaints on the track.

Engine temps were getting up around 100deg towards the end of the session, which is within normal operating range, and came straight down as soon as you back off. No problem there. Its still got the standard hydraulic engine fan.

Standard brakes, pads and fluid were fine apart from the old (and probably a bit thin) rotors warping in the first session. Its pretty common on OEM Toyota rotors from my experience. The JZA80 Supra I had with exactly the same brakes did the same thing. Changed to aftermarket discs and no problem.

Whack a trans cooler on the soarer and have some fun. If its in good mechanical order, it should be fine.

hmmm... graphed speed and lateral G from the 180 on Thursday and Aristo yesterday:

(lateral G x50 to get it to show up on the graph, so 50 is 1G. Peak for both cars is 1.2G

It wasn't the fastest lap int he 180SX - the iPhone didn't want to stay on the windscreen inthe 180, so I've only got data from the 1st session. This lap was a 60.5.

The automatic Aristo looses out in accelleration, but it looks like it was at least a match for the 180 in Eastern Loop and the last turn, if not a touch faster... Caught the 180 a bit under the bridge too. I suspect I lifted on that lap in the 180, or it got a bit sideways and scrubbed the speed off.

Aristo felt much easier to drive through Carousell, under the bridge and through the kink. Carousell's double apexer, the Aristo just goes where you want it to, no fuss at all. The 180 is always puts up a fight to get it back into the second apex. In the fast corners under the bridge and the kink, the 180 is pretty nervous on the bumps. Aristo walked over them with no fuss at all. Might be interesting with a bit more boost in the Aristo and maybe without the heavy electric seats! hehe

      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?
