I ran last weekend at the Symmons Plains 60th annaverary meet. Unfortunately after a good run the engine decided to throw a rod.  I've got the engine out but havn't pulled the sump off yet, I suspect

So it’s been over a year since an update. The first event last year was the Poatina Mountain Race, it was pretty much a 7km hill climb with the option for a navigator. I put my girlfriend in the sil

My cock envy gauge is going ballistic :(

you now have monies to buy a hooker to fix that.

I've put a resnobly light flywheel/clutch combo on, exedy hyper singe. weighs 12.5kg vs the std 18kg. I didn't get a clutch or flywheel with the car, so it ended up costing me only slighly more to get a good new one instead of hunting a flywheel down, and getting a sports clutch.

the rev limiter will be just past when the hydro lifters are going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :cheers:

it's all well and good to have big hp. but at the end of the day, we are still stuck on 8" rims, and you can only put so much power to the ground through them.

Progress has slowed due to me being a lazy bugger and ben taking all week to change the seat rails.

im currently on wires and their not overly photogenic but i will have some cool things done by the end of the weekend one hopes.

looks like the sau pics are dead atm. But I got the front rail finished, Damo pissed the neighers off by grinding after dark, so it restricted what i could do after work. But i'm happy with how it's ended up, I had to cut a section out of the floor, and weld a new reshaped bit in to get the seat to sit abit lower.

I also have a family friend who is a panel beater, who cut the rust out of the rear wheel arches (under the pods/water catchers)

using a lincon 170a mig. it's dad's and he loves gas-less wire, so it sprays shit everywhere. but and the end of the day it only has to be strong, and it is.

I wish i new how to tig (or mig neatly :) ), and had a tig to weld with, cause thin panels with a mig are a bitch.

My dad's got a pretty rad welder that can do just about anything, stainless, alloy etc. It a big industrial one (about a metre tall) he bought from a shipbuilder that went bust.

Ive never used it though cos i was a shit welder in high school.

It can do the most delicate of welds right through to to fattest bits of BHP's finest

yeah i've heard the gasless mig's are pretty cacky. who wants to pay the leasing fee for a bottle of argon? but you can get disposable bottles cheap as, so im tossing up wether to get a tig or a mig now. atm ive only got a 170amp cig transarc... pretty good, but not really great for the car.

welding al foil, thats mad.

dumb thing is that dad has an argon bottle, he just hates hooking it up, and he didn't want me to swap the wire out. But still holds at the end of the day, just sprays like a mofo, which isn't fun when your under the car, and molton metal is raining on you.

      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?
