hmm i have some camber on mine not sure how much, not much but a portion of the tyre is not in contact with the road, after driving on dirt you can see this. Kinda sucks, might have to pump the guards for zero camber get full contact.

295 on a 10 +38 with nearly 3 deg camber slightly pokes, for those wondering :D

Nice! Only problem is proper Semis will be a lot wider from what i can tell... 275 street tyres fit with plenty of space but a 265 in a semi is nearly contacting both sides as its much wider... That and -3 degrees wouldnt help much with traction so it kind of defeats the purpose of going to a wider tyre ;)

Mat, how much camber are you running?

In the front... Fk all! As i havent fit the camber arms yet, hence why the front tyres were nice and toasty on the outer edges on the left side at Wakie and cold in the inside.

On the rear, i think its back to rough -1.5 or somewhere near it as i had the track day to do. I had them down to -0.5 at one stage.

Love this car Matt, looks so basic and then it cracks gate haha

Thanks mate! Its a lot of fun...

Can't really say it looks so basic now with the cage back in

Safety first ;)

The stock look was a bit of fun for a while :ph34r:

  • 1 month later...

So i havent really done any updates in a while, basically because not much has happened... Since Wakie the car was unused and just sitting around... With all the talk of trackday prep i thought i best do some myself... SO i charged the battery... Prep complete :P

I went into the SMSP South day knowing the left side tyres were pretty banged up on the outer edge and also the alignment took a fair hit at Wakie when i had the offroad excursion, i drove it down the street and it was left hand down and pulling left... With SMSP Sth being a short track and just a fun day i wasnt to stressed and just ran it as is.

The one thing i took from this track day was that SAU NSW are a fkn top bunch of blokes! It had to be one of the best track days yet in terms of having fun.

The wheels just have black plastidip on them to cover the crazy gutterrash from Wakie... It looked pretty messy so as a temporary measure i coated them with the black. Of course we had to do the white writing on the tyres to match -

This pic actually shows some of the tyre damage on the outer edge...

With the lack of camber in the front it was just melting that damaged section...

Here is what the wheels looked like after a quick coat of plastidip...

What's with the headlight?

Headlights looks maad! The left one is open for intake yes?

Loving the car man!

Yeah one of the eyelids on my proper set of headlights got broken and looks really bad so i figured i would take them out and do the lense restore and replace the eyelids... The black set is just a set of empty shells of a GTR and was mainly for something different :P

I purchased one of those cheap rubber strips off ebay and put it on the bar... Now wish i had done it a LONG time ago as it makes the crappy looking stock bar look heaps better...

Looking awesome!

Its certainly not nice and clean like it was many years ago, but i still love it :D Everytime i get out of it these days it with a grin ear to ear...

Mad. I couldn't tell in the pic if they were just tinted or something. Looks the goods.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • 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?
