As the old adage goes "measure twice, cutonce". works well here.

Also for the rear - you need to cut through the inner guard too and then beatit 'flat' with a hammer and stitch weld/weld it to the outer guard, so makesure you dont cut through both at the same time.

i didnt do this because racecar.

first line is where the top of the flare will sit, 1in below is the cut line.also be sure to pre drill the bolt holes, otherwise you may dent the guard asit loses a lot of its strength when you remove the lip.

Will drop upto Wakkie to watch your next outing.

The flares look great on Grumblebee !

Also great pic of you on the splitter. (are you loosing wheight?), looking fitter anyway.

Edit: notice three different rims on GB in the pics.

Thanks for the comments guys :)

cheers rich, nah im still the same weight :P

im trying to goto a circuit club day at wakie on the 28th.

man those flares look too good !

are they zg flares ?

I got them from Fatz as they were meant to be a31house copy, but they look exactly the same as the S13 universal ones i already had... (i wanted a better fit but they turned out ok - gave the others to a mate)

THey look the same as the ones in this guide http://classicdatsun...lares_inst.html

Do it, super good quaility and Fatz is a sexy champ to deal with.

Turbo water lines are done, no more perished lines (hopefully)

you'll see it again. one day....

So yeah. wet.

I only got 3 sessions, in the morning the track was quite cool and slick till about 12 and then it started raining proper. only managed 1:10.6 which was a little disappointing at first and then i took stock realised that with the track conditions and the car feeling sooo different it wasn't too bad.

The car is going to needs more setup now, i was struggling with mass understeer in some corners but then able to go much faster in others.

one good thing came of yesterday though. I have always had an issue with front brake lock up - to the point of locking up every other corner. i have a bias adjuster which i thought was set to get max rear brakes, this confused me as the car would either lock up the front or get really taily and slide out the rear.

After checking the rotor temps with a borrowed temp thingy, got Front-150 c, Rear-70 c (rears only 10 c hotter than the rear tyres) My mate suggested just turning the other way and low and behold - the bastard stops on a dime now! doesn't lock up the front unless i really step on it (slick track too) turns out i haven't really been using the rears at all...

I felt a bit silly.

the hydro is going to be pissed off too, makes it too hard bleed the brakes properly. i had to double pump after any little straight due to air in the lines.

Small update time.

Im going to the next Circuit Club day on the 25th, so I decided to check over the car in the weeks before rather then days as I usually forget things..

Started by adding more front camber, now sitting at -5deg. I need to do the toe as well.
Ive ordered some new sparkies, as I haven’t changed them since 2011 when trying to work out a miss fire at a track day. They still look ok btw.

And when I pulled the old ones out I realised I never gapped them, so they’ve been at 1.2mm rather .8mm. Should help in the upper rev range I think.

Also checked the timing. It was set at 30ish degrees. I had played with it at the same track day (was a boostcut in the end) and never checked it when I got home. Now set to 15deg should also help with power smiley.gif

Next thing is to piss off the hand brake as it makes bleeding hard, I always end up with air in the system.
Mind you, it may also be because I had the rear bias locked off as I found out last outing. Im reaalllly excited to see how the brakes will be now I’ll be using all four wheels to slow down rather than just the fronts. No wonder Im always locking them up…

    • 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
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
