This was another great event this weekend. It was also my Group A DR30's debut after sitting in Terry Ashwoods Restauraunt for the last few years in retirement. She came out kicking and screaming, but did exceptionally well on the weekend, and she looked great.

We ended up on Sunday with a 1st in class.

We qualified 14th out of 32 cars.

1st Race - FInished 10th

2nd Race - Finished 6th

3rd Race - Finished 4th

4th Race - Finished 6th

Car came home without a scracth, and some slight mechanical issues to do with a miss and we need to find the reason we can not get the right boost.

GREAT to see more cars getting out there. Any news on the Sierras making a comeback this year?

yeh there was 3 entered.....the Listerine car and Robert Ingram's 2 ANZ cars.....the later ANZ car came up with a small problem though so only one of them ran the weekend.

yeh a messy one from me in the DR30....you will have to excuse the no throttle through turns 3 and 6 and misfire down the straight......something was causing the ignition to stop and go......on top of that we only had 4:11's and 1.1bar of boost......she's a bit different to the R31 :)

We will have it right for Lakeside though!

My shoulders a killing me!!!!

I should have another run up on youtube late tonight. I will do the last race of the weekend next.

The Saturday footage is not as good due to camera mounting issues, too high in the car in the first race on Saturday (Great view of the mirror and your eyes but not much else) and the vibration was playing hob with the mount in race 2. On a one inch long alloy strip mount the vibration was making the camera head twist at one RPM and shake side to side at another. Gaffer tape fixes everything! I will figure out a better mount for it before it goes in the car again.

So if this is Terry Ashwoods DR30, does anyone know what has happened to the DR30 of John Strongman? I understand he sold it to help fund the purcahse of the GIO GTR. It was not 100% original and had some late model bits on it that woudl have needed to be removed...but it was a tidy and running car.

How different is the FJ compared to the RB20 in the power stakes?

Gaven Strongman still has his DR30 and is probably going to bring it back to its original condition and start racing it.

Terry Ashwood's old DR30 now belongs to Caz (that was the car racing on the weekend)

Fred Uthmann still has his DR30

Robert Ingram has the Netcom one

Next video, this is race 4 on Sunday afternoon. I had to ditch the last lap to get it under the ten minute mark for youtube. Still processing when I posted this so the video quality should get a little better.

:) at the GIO car!!!

Bit of a moment there yes! Not as hairy as the VL Walkie going off in the first corner from the other vid. It really shows that it needed a taller diff for the island given you got it into fifth gear into the first corner from a standing start.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
