Yeh, I aint big on maintenance and the thought of alloy nuts worries me so I run good olf fashioned steel nuts as well. Albeit pretty Rays ones :)

I'll one free by then, brisby's GTsT should be rolling again.

What, you have ripped the RB20 out for me :) Keen to take the old girl for a punt around Wakefield when I collect it. Will need to bring two rims up in the plane and get some semis in Sydney somewhere.

about bloody time you got some decent nuts.

wheels are on and off a race car so often, and they are so damn cheap that there is no excuse for difficult to use, unmatched ones. I hope you bought 5 spares for races that need a wheel change.

any other progress on this old girl?

What ever ya whinging bitch and no I only bought 4 spares.

I must say though tiger I have a new appreciation for my pit-crews work at Wakefield.

I had to remove and fix a little problem with my rear shocks,,,what a pain in the f**king-arse. Roll cages,,,seats and rear top shock mounts in R33's don't mix.

Cheers

Neil.

It's been ages since an update,,,Cheryl is now competing in the NSW hillclimb championships and quite frankly she's loads of fun. While I'm not used to running last in my class,,,I'm having a ball and getting quicker all the time.

Here's some pics of her engine oil cooler install.

I'll post some more stuff as i catch up.

Looks good Neil and up to your usual standard of being very tidy with the hose work.

I was of the opinion that you were going dry sump - is that still the case or are you just going for a larger volume with baffles like us?

So long as at the end of the day, you've got a smile ear to ear, and some other monkey to change your shocks, then that's all that matters! Right? :P

I'm quite jealous of this car really. Such a basic engine setup, decent suspension and stripped and it just looks so fun out there on the track!!!

Thanks Charles,,,it turned out very nice,,,yep I will be dry sumping Cheryl sometime,,,just not now. The old race budget has been taking a hammering lately so most stuff including tarmac rallys are on hold. The bloody Falcon shitbox died on the way to Wakie a while ago so we had to buy something else and this time it had to be a Nissan,,,hence...

Matt,,,I'm having a ball running the hillclimb champs,,,we've done 5 rounds (including heaps of practice) and she's still running great. Sell all that V8 rubbish and come back from the dark side.

Cheers

just wanted to say that what Neil has done with this car is really impressive.

It is neither big $$$ nor big HP, but it has been doing a heap of racing and has been super reliable.

There may not be 10x posts a day about it, but you can be sure cherryl is out there and being thrashed regularly which is a great thing.

:thumbsup: to you, and to Evil Chris for that matter as well....you guys are doing 1% of the talking but 90% of the racing around here. Hope to join you one day!

Cheryl's all good Chris,,,I've taken her turbo off and am sending it away for checking,,,other than that I have to weld up a spare diff,,,pass targeted scrutineering and have another year of fun.

I'll be doing another year of hillclimbing mate. Enjoy MRA

Cheers

Neil.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
