Grate write up from the event. I have been hanging to read all about it as I refuse to use Facebook and people only seem to talk on there, otherwise you wait months to watch it on DVD.

Do you think that not running any form of bov has caused the turbo failure? I know most people diss like them but a $50 part may prolong a $1500 part. I fitted one after my Garrett shit itself.

One thing that worries me doing a mainland trip is having something go wrong with the car. You can't carry a whole cars with of spares.

Keep it the good work.

well ADGP happened... theres a full write up of the drama's that i had along with pics on my website

I can't believe you blew up a 25 box, that mustn't happen every often? also what killed the turbo, just extended high temperatures cook the bearings/rear wheel?

Sucks to have two major things go like that, sounds like you have a blast either way though!

time for an update... first heres some pics and vids from calder.

in car of Ben purtel.. thought it was a good vid cause it really showed the speed of it all and the amount of smoke my car generates haha

another shot with me and Andrew Constatine from Tas... this was during prac session sat morning before my turbo blew. chased him 3 times like this.. first time i tagged his rear bar and you can see my corner light is missing as a result haha

Update time: prepping for WTAC mainly.. that will be the next outing for the car. Diff is getting overhauled and new 4.3 gears. the New motor set up struggles a bit to turn 4.1's with sticky tyres which is why i blew 3rd probably. need an overhauled gearbox and then the motor is probably coming back out for a full check over also. fun times ahead.

i usually run 255/40/17's in Achillies ATR sports or Federal 595. for calder park i tried some of the new Achillies 123s in 265/35/18 pressures usually around the 25/30 psi mark but i actually had to run the 123s higher at 45 psi just to get a decent drift going.

the amount of grip and speed with the 123s is huuuuuuge!

VQ30 would be pretty cool though. But need a lot of attention to intake and exhaust manifolds. They are f**king mess.

Although VQ35 shit would bolt on and strokers, cams choice is abundant. With a really big 6-speed VQ35 gearbox.

It would be indestructable drivetrain. Not sure about the engien though.

You could get a VQ35 gearbox bolted up to RB, Simon. Won't be very difficult and that gearbox is huge. RB or JZ Getrag looks like small kitten near that monster.

Also + for better weight destribution with VQ30.

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
