Ah that's good to hear a-bomb Nick...yeah you want to at least be able to pull up again. I can live with that you don't want to do corners anymore but being able to brake harder than you can accelerate is always a must for me! Out-braking and out-handling wins as many races as out-running :P

I have a engagement party :(

Also incase you missed it I picked up some goodies through the week:

Cusco 2 way mechanical LSD (goodbye crappy 3.5 nastiness hello awesome tear your face off 4.11 acceleration! :devil: )

And I've broken my number 1 rule of "brakes only slow you down" and gone and purchased r32 Gtr calipers front and rear with slotted rotars... (So now I can stop lol)

Good on ya dude.

Bout time you listened :P

Cusco will be a bit rough round the edges and you'll clunk almost everywhere. Clutch in when you drive past coppers and you'll be fine :P

Am wondering if the NA 33s had the drum brake setup on the rear as if they don't you'd have to get that setup as well or you'll be without a handbrake.

Funny that you should mention that because I was thinking the same thing this morning. I haven't done anything for the last week or so because I re-sprayed my wheels - they're all good again now. Must say they looked quite horrendous indeed! Looked like it was just a colossal failure of the clear coat :/

Not sure if I'd head back out to it man - it's just all yank pretty much. Would be good to see some more JDM there, or even some German/Italian muscle and what not. So yeah not sure Nick - see what happens I guess.

Dude, we are about the only JDMs in town that do try to make an effort LOL

We aren't gonna see any more :P

If we don't rock up, then there's no representation.

Went to that Nandos meet with 180 Nick....we definitely need to get a couple of us together next time round. This time they really had a fantastic turn out there!!

So what can we do cruise wise in the mean time? A trip to a pub lunch would be nice....seeing that you're mentioning food Clint ;)

Pub lunch I can always do....well not always but most times :)

Would really like to find time to do a Happy laps too. I wanna see what this car can do.

Are there any of the new people around?

Saw lots of cars there I've never seen before. Bigger JDM representation this time around too and most of them were different from the first time I went.

Plenty of new people around just hanging around in their little cliques. We need a few more bodies so we can have ours :P

    • 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
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
