If the brakes are fixed mid week on my GTR it's a big possibility. Won't be entering but would appreciate co-pilot for a run or 2.

GTR's booked in on the Monday to get the suspension set-up properly.

Just enter mate, you'll love it! We've had some real shitbomb cars come along with terrible suspension, mismatched tyres, weak as brakes - basically the opposite of your built GTR and those guys have all had a blast!

ok there needs to be a skid challenge now.. someone bring me a set of tyres to destroy as im a poor bastard and dont get paid till 2 days after texi..

Or if you know someone around penrith that will fit tyres for free ive got some lying around

Hey guys long time reader first time poster. I entered a few days to a week ago and paid via transfer, just wanted to confirm you had recieved my fax and transfer.

Name: Jack Drewett

Transfer would have been titled as a variation of my name with TEXI afterward

Looking forward to the day cheers

wet skids = slow skids :closedeyes:

Hopefully not man, got tyres to kill! We should convoy out :)

Edited by best guy

Just have to throw the older rims and tyres on and the car is as ready as she'll ever be. 1500rpm launches, here we come!

And, going back a few pages: Eric - of course I will have you in my car. But it is going to be slower than a 1.3l 3 cylinder Diahatsu Charade! You have been warned!

1500 launch? You mean 7500 right :thumbsup:

When you launch just hold the handbrake and slip the clutch a bit. That pre-loads the drivetrain so you don't jolt it on take off.

You'll be right!

Hey Jack,

I do have your payment but cant seem to find a form in your name.. If possible do you mind resending it?

I have put you down as no 25 on the list so dont worry about missing out.

Also list is now updated with a few more to come

Thanks for that mate, I can fax it again although it might be more reliable if I scan and email it. I saw an email address "[email protected]" listed on the entrance form - would that be OK? If not I can try to fax again.

cheers

dont forget to switch your TCS, ABS off if thats still on option on your cars people.

oh and if anyone still has HICAS get the damn thing locked!

TCS definite buzzkill. ABS doesn't bother me, although it gets terribly confused when I use the handbrake one of these days I'll remember to pull the fuse.

HICAS still operational.. I don't let it cramp my style either :)

hey just wondering if my entry was received my names tyler hartwell

Hey Tyler,

Nothing yet, how long ago did you send it?

if you only faxed it today dont stress as it will probably turn up early tomorrow morning, If you want to though u can email it to '[email protected]' or pm it to me..

I think I'm going to come up for a quick visit. I have family stuff on that day :(

Oh Dave or Steveo.. Whoever is booking these evens why don't you pick better dates and give me 4 weeks in advance notice!!

I want to get my ute out..

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
