Nah rally stuff makes you look like a muppet. There you are trying to read the notes and the bloody photographers make it look like you are trying to find a spot under the dash to hide.

Second one from Wanneroo. Note the multiple black lines & the Emo with the fail understeer.

Lol, Lancer shitbox doing what they do best !

Tim's balls are that big he's probably reading a novel while I "drive"......

Here I think he was looking for one of his many women in the spectators;

And lol @ understeer of fail on the Evo..... boring cars. Fast. But boring.

What sort of times were you doing with the supra at lakeside Harry.

Care to share what was done to it?

It ran a best of 60.7 the only time I drove it on the new surface at lakeside. That was on KU36 tyres.

It was a 93 RZ 6speed, so it was the lightest of them, but still fairly hefty at 1530kg on the weighbridge! without me! I also ran it very light on fuel at Lakeside. About 1/4tank and would top it up with a jerry can during the day. Never had any fuel surge problems.

The early V160 Getrag had shorter gearing than the later VVT models with the V161, which probably helps.

All it had was Tein Flex coilovers that were pretty shagged by that stage - the RR was leaking and started axle tramping that day at Lakeside. The nice Rays GramLights with 245 and 275 KU36s. It had as much camber on the front as we could get with the stock adjustment - about 2.5degrees. Castor wasn't very much because of the way it was adjusted you had to compromise between static camber and castor, we went with max static camber. Zero toe. I didn't let them touch the rear alignment because it handled so sweetly the way it was, so no idea of what setting were there.. I found it was very sensitive to ride height adjustments and ended up with 600mm rear and 595 front from the lower edge of the 18" rims to the gaurds.

Brakes were the small/early 2/1 sliders with TRW Lucas pads which worked great.

Engine wise it had a Pod filter and cat-back exhaust. Still had the stock side mount intercooler and boost was standard 10psi. I ran it in TTC mode because it gave better midrange grunt than sequential and more linear response exiting corners. The next owner had it dyno'd as it was and made 186rwkw before he went single turbo.

To beat the factory speed cut I just disconnected the odometer at the track.

i still think it would be faster than my current 200rwkw 1250kg 180SX if I put proper semis on it like the 180 has...

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
