great day out! the old girl ran well and i had an absolute ball.

for the first time i felt the need for a turbo to push me along the top end of the straight a little more...

and maybe for some grunt to pull me out of corners in 3rd so i didnt have to go back to 2nd every corner...

anyone who crossed paths with me on the track ive probably got some footage of you from my in car vid..

let me know if your interested in seeing it...

yeah i had the camera on, unfortunately the flames i told you about were just out of the camera angle (i saw the flames as you were passing me but you werent quite in front in the camera view yet)

but i did catch you finding some dirt turning onto the main straight :nyaanyaa:

i was in group 3 driving the green datto ute

Awesome day out weather was sunny all day, pretty happy with how the car ran first time out. I managed a 1.11.18 best time, with hitting the speed limiter about 4 times before breaking for turn1 lol Im sure i could have shaved a few seconds there, car is also not running any boost, ecu or clutch about 170kw atw.. my guess. I deff need to invest in a oil cooler, i have never seen the gauge go so high lol and the car was drinking nearly a quarter tank every 6-7 laps i went and put another $30 at lunch and chewed that too got heaps of laps in and ended the day a session or 2 early.

Best part of the day was the battle i had with billy blags took me 4 laps to catch him and pass when he oversteered haha :yes:

p.s thanks for the pics they look great

yeah even with the smaller engine I had to call it quits. had the fuel pump scavange thought a couple corners so I had to pull in.

Seems 1/4 tank the lowest I can go. Might start dragging a extra fuel can with me from here in.

i had a prick of a day. on my first fast lap on turn one my brakes failed. i didnt brake very late. started at the 300m make and still ended missing the turn. lucky they have abit of runoff room. front left bleed nipple was leaking and it was tight. so we pulled it out to see if it was damaged. but it looked good so we changed the nipple anyway and bled the brakes. it lasted a few more laps then started leaking again.

your brakes were smoking alot when i was following you... looked like you cooked them nicely at the end of the straight. did you bed your pads in properly?

Well get on the power then, nistune, boost 't and away you go cheers.gif.

Oil cooler is a serious must if you want the engine to last and save money as the oil will be shagged now. 2 hot laps and I was cooling down (didn't have time to fit the cooler on the car), then hit it up for 1-2 more hot laps after the cool down lap.

yes i bedded them in and they were working great before i took it to calder. they didnt over heat. i cant get any pressure on them.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
