Recommended Posts

Hey mate

Was nice meeting you on sat! Wish the day ended differently though.

I tried to find u to see if u needed a hand getting the car back home but couldnt find u at all. Hope everything will get sorted quickly! Btw now u can try out the intake headlight.

Hopefully u'll get it down to the next round!

Cheers

Herb

Argh not what you want. No consolation but at first glance doesn't look too bad.

Chin up and good luck with the fix up.

I was planning on being there on the weekend but didn't get a chance to sort my alignment out - bit unstable under brakes, think it might be toe'd in at the moment. Last place I wanted to be unstable under brakes was T1 PI.

Hey Ev.....I really DO KNOW how it feels....

Step 1 = Pick your chassis/panel dude very very very carefully before you resign yourself to starting again from scratch...

Yes your toy looks like it has been "beaten up" but from the photo's it look repairable....remember its a race car and not a "show car"

We hit a concrete wall at more than 160kph..and the concrete barrier didnt move a bit...the cage then absorbed the impact and formed the banana shape.

ie:

The cage moved approx 100mm inboard on the drivers side which broke my ribs on the right hand side in the process... the gearbox tunnel had a very visual 30mm twist in it, the left hand near quater panel had a huge "woof" in it ( even though there was no impact on the left hand side), the intercooler had a huge "twist" in .etc etc etc, I had no other option than to start again... it really was a basket case.

You saw the damage on the trailer when you were over here.... once the alluminium panels and plastic bits were removed it was clear that there was nothing to work with that was straight... hence the long hard road i have been on for the last 20 months or so ( and not to mention the commercial impact...which we wont...) lucky my lovely wife accepts that I have always had an addiction/obsession with GTR's.. ...

Still another few months to go..

Again, if you clearly have no other choice than to start again then do it....however if you dont HAVE TO ,then work with what you have if at all possible cob..

cheers!

    • 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?
