not a single issue!

til i got home and off the trailer. motor was cold by then and i stalled it and it refused to start... turns out it flooded it and all plugs were dripping with fuel.

might need to touch up the cold start and low temp side of the map a bit.

  • 2 weeks later...

quick little vid of my deliberate 360 on the straight after doing my extreme entry run. hahaha had hell fun and kept it pinned in 3rd and 4th around the whole track

VID

and heres some pics my team mates got for me.

Trip to winton started off like this... X2... blew out the tyre then chucked spare on and that blew out also. limped it 25k's to keith and then managed to buy a second hand tyre the right size and for a decent price too! half hour later and we were moving again.

then we hit the (wet) track... i went pretty hard straight away, as you do, it was when ity got patchy that it f**ked me right up.. that was gay as aids as it was dry on the straight and the first judged corner but mid corner/apex it turned into a mudslick... made it for very eventful final prac session and qualifying laps.

pass rides were fun... my mates loved it. but 40 each was a rip for the limited time they got.

Qualified 5th... got a bye. was loving that but i needed a run on a dry track being an interstater and all..

first battle was with ferds. nailed the first run. he made a mistake which i didnt know about and i made a mistake going too hard on the follow lap. was a re run. then on the lead lap i couldnt downchange from 4th to 3rd as the box wouldnt let at all. tried like 3 times and at that point i was too wide, and went in the mud. knew straight away that i'd lost the whole battle unless ferds stuffed up his lead run. no chance of that but i went hard and stuck as close and possible.. was an awesome run and at a few points it was damn close haha

after the losee i was kinda dejected... but you get that. thats comps for ya. got back into the spirit of things with team drift with robbo and Nathan, and we formulated a plan before hand and it worked out and we nailed two pretty awesome runs... we won the team drift but yeah we shoulda come up with a better name... for the record the name was picked ON the startline about 15 seconds before we left lol.

some other random shots.

you need some sau stickers on your car, would have said hi if i new you were on here, also did that isc car end up giving rides, it was coming on and off the track a fair bit, was going to go for a ride but i left my wallet at home, turned out it was a good thing, would have ended up in the ke70 which was struggling to link corners.

if someone wants to mail me an SAU sticker i'll happily run some. or maybe i should hit HESLO up since im doing his 33 GTR headgasket atm haha.

yeah that red ke was a bit of a suprise for me... i know i woulodnt have paid 40 for a ride.

not sure how the isc guy got into giving rides but i know his car was a bit f**ked after his tie rod snapped and they welded it back together,... wheel alignmentr wouldnt have been the best after that

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
