What an event - I had an awesome time - Should be on Speedweek soon and now I understand what Michele means when she says that somehow IQ drops to -10 once a camera and microphone is stuck in your face.

The picture in picture is incar footage from the EVO car number 455 which you catch a glimpse of at around turn three (orange wheels)

Words cannot describe the fun I had :P:wave::D

My best time on the day was 1.44, so starting to sort the car out.

The problem was with the 4wd, there wasn't any... fixed now, but still needs a lot of tweaking as to how/when the 4wd comes in. A company I wont mention on here, who NO LONGER has stickers on my car because they REFUSED to tell us how THEY had 'changed' the way 4wd was working on this car, unless I took it to their friend in Sydney and got their friend to phone them when it was on the dyno. Fortunately, his friend in Sydney is better than that and it didn't need to get on the dyno to fix the problem. I eventually found the main problem after wasting a lot of unnessessary time... it needed a fuse in the bastardised system they had put into it to run 4wd. So I intend to upgrade the system that is running the 4wd so its 1) not constant 2) varies to degree of cornering and pressures. At the moment, its like having a switch on your dash, either ON or OFF, not the best setup at all, but fixable.

You think you messed yourself now? Wait until you do it... and this is one event you could do, come around and see me for more details on how you enter and see the footage of when I pulled into the garage, then you will know how much fun it was lmao

Looks like great fun. 1st in class?? who didn't you overtake.

I didn't overtake the Mosler MT900RGT3... but then... he didn't overtake me either in the handicap, he was right behind me for over a lap, I thought for sure he would take me LOL I was pretty chuffed when he didn't get me.

That's not a car behind you, it a space fighter :P

I don't want to do the bonnet pins look for my car, but I'd love to get into a race like this. Upgrades are approved, so in a few months I'll be getting some track based suspension. Still will need the real engine upgrades to keep it 100% safe for the motor.

Guess I could already buy a car with suspension and engine work.

They didn't set it up for rwd, the fuse went in the system they put in to manage 4wd, just took me a while to find it.

Give Michele a call, I know she was trying to get you to let you know it was open. We are camping at Mcphilamy Park again.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
