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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
