Here's a old-school Toyota Celica Turbo... owned by TOM's then by Trust:

It apparently magically dissapeared after a few races in 1983. Now look where it's ended... in someones backyard laying to rot:

It's crazy how much abandoned cars there is in Japan... all just rusting away.

I'm looking at doing a 100k service on the GTR in the coming weeks. Should I replace my water pump with a standard pump or n1 water pump

Go see Rob And Rocco at Synergy, they get Tru-flo pumps fro japan, basically an N1 copy for a fraction of the price. Put one on my old 33 just before i sold it.

just took the 200 for the first spin in a few weeks. tis nice. crushed exhaust is making itself painfully obvious however. has trouble boosting past 0.8 bar, used to get out to 1.2 easy. gotta replace that soon, and install my ebc i reckon.

Jap Motorsport = Adelaide Jap?

I was going to buy a RB20 long motor for $1k, until I found a complete RB25DET cheaper :huh:

no. Jap Motorsport - JMS www.japanesemotorsport.com.au

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
