Finally, after years of trying I took my first round win in Sports GTB. Thanks to Steeline, David Clifford Photography, Cable Mate, Dejay Signs and Benson Motorsports.

Car now is a rocket with 300kws. I wish I had it this good from the start. We have had to overcome a shitload of dramas the past year or so and hopefully now we have the speed, we can have some luck too!! Thats why Im wont be driving the car to its full potential. Best time was a 59.3....without trying too hard!!

Roll on R4 Aug 21st at Symmons!!

do you mind adding some specs of what you have now. engine? box? turbo? suspension? only if you dont mind.

Yeah I'd be interested too if you don't mind sharing, also what tyres you're using.

Tanks guys!!

60sec at Baskerville, 61 at Symmons cut off times for B

well after my original block was ruined, we have replaced it with a 25 block, still have the 20 head. replaced the high flowed Rb20 turbo with a garrtet gt 30 (rb20 turbo i want to sell now) the gearbox is standard, i need another diff ratio as im having to change gears at Baskerville too often now. suspension is a BC racing kit. Tyres are bridgestone RE55.

After the amount of money ive spent and dramas etc I want to make the car last (hopefully) so that is why I wont be driving it full bore (even though it feels wrong!!) I want to be racing not fixing the damn thing all the time, which is what we have spent the last year or so doing. I did think about detuning it, but then I would have to drive it harder, so lap time mangement is the way to go. But at some stage I will do some testing just to see how fast I can go!! Im just not made of money, sponsors help, but Im still paying for 90% of it!!

R20 head on 25??? did you machine the head out so the bore matched? open the ports up? How come you didn't run a 25 head, could have got vvt goodnes?

just cost. didnt want to have to change the wiring and the ecu. Im not sure if the head was bored, but we have different pistons in it. head not ported either. forgot to mention that i have a after market exhaust manifold and a GTR style intake. ill post a pic later.

Yes pics please. I'm surprised you can run the 20 head on a 25 block.

from what I know, the heads are not much different, but you have to run different pistons. there's alot of myths about these engines! I dont run resister packs either!

Congrats on the win John, hopefully its the first of many.

Was it a 25DET head (series one I assume) that you used? Also when you say you dont run resistor packs, I take it your running GTR injectors, what ECU?

    • 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?
