So its been 2 months since the last update. the last update was leading up to a club day that both ben and i ran our cars at. ben suffered an engine loss and after testing some different shock, springs and reverting back to my old setup i spun the clutch off the line. clutch damage was my fault for trying to beat 4wds at there best game.

I did score these light weight 18x 10 Manaray rims leading up to the event thow. they dont have hellaflush opffset but they allow 285s to work under the guards.

with 2 dead cars in my shed again we got stuck into Bens and got engine out and stripped.

I let the christmas holidays give me some breathing time from my car. early in the new year i decided to enter the drifting at Power Cruise as its the only opportunity to drift the whole track. its been 4 years since i last done that and it was one of the best times ive had in my car.

So we pulled the old clutch out and found that the plate material had transfered to the flywheel and pressure plate. not a bad effort. Another higher rated exedy was put in its place as besides this ive never had an issue with one over 6 years of using this car.

Another downer at the club day was loosing my veilside front lip. i hadn't reattached it properly after modifying it for the tow strap. but with a bit of mucking around i modified a series 3 r33gtr front lip to do the job. i dont have any good pics of this yet but gives you an idea.

Because of other major events this year i wont be doing another event for over 3 months but as the car is actually in one pice and going ill just be tidying it up and finishing bits off ready for the 2012 tas drift series.

I have always wanted a set of Manaray wheels. They are rocking horse shit!

i never realised what they were or just how light they were till i got them. my mate only had 2 as he went to buy them off a wrecked 300zx and the owner of the 300 couldnt get the wheel nuts undone on two of the rims so he cut the rims off the car with an angle grinder so he pull the brakes ect off. total moron.

ive searched a bit but never come up with much.

Damo's first supersprint

Ben's first supersprint

Damo's car is the first one I've raced in a year that is running a brake booster. I can't recomend removing them enough, it's so hard to judge the braking, and unlock a wheel with the booster.

I like the vids. The car looks pretty sorted and has some good poke. The final left hander and sections of the pit straight look like ep[ic fun with steering the car on the throttle and having to brake with some steering attitude on the car! Love that sort of stuff !

Years ago we organised some Tas track days and pulled the pin due to NSW being cheaper/easier. Now that I am back in Aus for good need to start the annual Vic Motorsport trips back up :)

The track is a lot better than it looks on tv.

You should come to tassie. we've got 2 tracks with in 2 hours of each other.

... Tassie IS a race track :cheers:

a lot of people think its just a boring track with 2 drag strips back to back but the sweeping corner onto the start finish line then the hump into turn 1 is where a lot of time can be made. going over Bens data logs the .7sec difference between us came from that section of track. simple as that.

You guys should totaly come over. do a saturday north sunday south thing. ive only lapped basky a hand full of times but its one of thoes tracks that shows why people race cars. undulation off camber corners. blind corners ect.

plus all us tassie guys can help out if anyone had dramas.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • 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
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • 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?
