Hey Mark,,,how they hangin mate?.

I will find out tomorrow what Cheryl weighs. I've just finished filling her up with 40 litres of fuel for tomorrow so I'll get a wet reading.

Depower the steering,,, While that would save way more than 10 kilo's on a gtst,,,I'd have to go to the gym to steer the bloody thing. I did ages ago try steering her without the belt on and man it was hard going. I seem to remember Duncan struggled with steering his r32 without a belt on the track!!!.

Guessing the weight,,,shit it better not be anywhere near your prediction,,,1375 is standard so anything under 1300 would put a smile on my face tiger.

Cheers

Neil.

1,294KG. That's my uneducated estimate.

Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical. I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again. Saturday night at Bathu

So it turns out that is indeed what happened, and as Mel is not taking up racing and nor is their only child Lizzy the Great Dane, I am tidying the car up for sale.   As far as I can tell it is p

Update time, I've actually finished installing the Radicals rear spoiler on to the Skyline, what a fun job on your own getting it exactly in the middle and correct front to back. At full adjusted heig

So Cheryl got her corner weighting and a wheel alignment today and heres the results.

The alignment turned out bloody great,,,seems I haven't hit anything hard since the last alignment and the cars NOT bent. That tells me 2 things,,,smashing ripple strips does nothing and tieing the car down by the wheel spokes does nothing as well. Happy days.

Corner weighting though has pointed out that I still need to remove lots more weight. I'm starting to think I'm not going to go crazy,,, It's time to working on the Radical for next year.

Heres the corner readouts as the morning went on. 3 hours in total.

So no hole sawing lots of internal panels out or cutting the ends off any bolts deemed too long? You know you could always drill in the insides of any big bolt out too to save a touch of weight... :P

Lots of things came out of this weekend for me and all of them were positives.

Handles is the best pit bitch I've ever had,,,life is so much easier when I don't have to tell someone what to do. It's fantastic to have someone that just does the shit jobs and enjoys it. We walked the track on Saturday morning and it was so refreshing to bounce ideas off him and get his feedback. Having someone that continually checks my tyre pressures and makes the right decisions is a godsend. A MASSIVE thanks Tiger.

The slick are absolutely fantastic and I'm never ever going back to semi's. They are so bloody predictable even in the cold and slightly damp early morning conditions. I was very worried about them wearing out quickly but they look to have little wear on them.

Cheryl ran prefectly all day,,,I thrashed the living shit out of her as usual and she loved every moment of it.,,,she is such a great girl.

Cheers

Neil.

      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

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      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?
